Fall Damage Studio, in collaboration with Hyperjump Interactive, is ramping up development on ALARA Prime, a free-to-play 4v4v4 tactical FPS that promises to shake up the genre. Announced during the PC Gaming Show, the game is set to ambush Early Access on PC via Steam in 2025.
Veteran Devs at the Helm
Fall Damage Studio’s founders—industry veterans and former DICE members Anders Gyllenberg, Mikael Kalms, and Markus Nyström—bring their AAA expertise to the project. With iconic franchises like Battlefield, Star Wars: Battlefront, and Medal of Honor under their belts, they’re teaming up with Hyperjump Interactive to craft ALARA Prime’s unique take on the competitive shooter.
A Tactical Twist on FPS Gameplay
In ALARA Prime, three squads of four battle it out in a high-stakes, objective-based mode. One team defends the uplink, while the other two teams strategize, ambush, and battle their way to control. The dynamic 4v4v4 format encourages creativity, cooperation, and cunning. Will you coordinate a 2v1 assault against defenders? Pull off a sneaky ambush? Or embrace the chaos of an all-out gunfight? The choice is yours.
Assemble Your Squad and Load Out
Players can customize their squad of elite operatives by choosing from four distinct classes:
- Assault: Frontline firepower specialists.
- Infiltrator: Masters of stealth and sabotage.
- Support: Battlefield medics and buff specialists.
- Engineer: Tactical tinkerers with tools for every situation.
Equip your operatives with weapons that suit your playstyle, from precise snipers to versatile assault rifles. Each primary weapon includes a game-changing alt-fire ability to turn the tide:
- Use the Stasis Trap to slow enemies.
- Deploy the Mute Field to sneak into position undetected.
- Drop Spotting Beacons to reveal foes.
- Place an Absorber to counter enemy smoke grenades.
A Community-Driven Approach
ALARA Prime is the culmination of many years of expertise and passion in the first-person shooter space.
said Yoni Rabinowitz, Design Director at Fall Damage. “We can’t wait to see players outsmart opposing teams and come up with their own utility plays. We’re incredibly grateful to the ALARA Prime community for their feedback during playtests and encourage tactical FPS fans to join us in shaping the game.”
