The Supervive open beta test is an early trial phase for a new competitive multiplayer game developed by Theorycraft Games, a studio formed by veterans from major companies like Riot, Bungie, and Blizzard.

The first beta test was officially announced on June 25, 2024, through the Fireside Chat on YouTube, announcing that Project Loki would now take on the name Supervive. They revealed that the beta would take place from June 27 to July 4, 2024.

The open beta, launched in October 2024, lets players test out the game for free for a limited time. It runs alongside the Steam Next Fest and is designed to gather feedback before an official Supervive release date, which, according to Theorycraft Games, is expected to be sometime in Q1 2025.

Supervive Closed Beta Playtests

Once the Supervive open beta test concludes, the game will return to routine closed beta tests that only a select few randomly chosen players will be able to experience. Players who enjoy the closed beta may want to consider hopping back on before the full release next year.

To sign up for the Supervive closed beta or increase your chances of being selected for future beta tests, you can follow any of these steps:

  1. Pre-register on the official website: Head to the Supervive sign-up website and register for the closed beta. This puts you in the pool for random selection​.

  2. Watch Supervive streams on Twitch: Earn Power Shards by watching Supervive streams on Twitch. These shards increase your chances of being selected for the beta. You’ll get one shard per hour of viewing​, and earn twitch drop rewards.

  3. Returning players: Once you receive a Supervive key for one beta, you’ll automatically have access to future closed beta tests, so you won’t need to reapply.

After the open beta test concludes, another beta test will launch in Korea from October 21 to October 27, 2024. Future closed betas will be announced through the Supervive website, Discord, and on X (Twitter)

What is Supervive?

Supervive takes the core mechanics found in MOBA games and expands them into a battle royale setting. Players can expect a top-down third-person hero shooter featuring a combination of mechanics found in League of Legends with battle royales such as Apex Legends and Fortnite.

The main Supervive gameplay consists of players forming squads (either duos or teams of four) to compete in a massive, aerial world. The goal is to be the last team standing, fighting both enemy players and AI-controlled monsters while scavenging for rare powers, equipment, and abilities scattered throughout the map.

Players can select one of 16 Supervive characters called Hunters, who possess a unique array of skills to use in combat. Each hunter is divided into various roles based on their playstyles.

Main Roles in Supervive

1. Fighter

Excel in direct combat and deal consistent damage, ideal for 1v1 fights.

2. Initiator

Begin fights, rushing enemy teams and creating opportunities to push for teammates.

3. Frontliner

Provide strong defense by absorbing damage and protecting their team.

4. Protector
Support allies in combat by providing shields and heals to keep their squad in the fight.
5. Controller
Abilities control space to limit enemy movement on the battlefield.

The game’s unique selling point compared to other similar titles is the Storm Shift system, a dynamic feature that adds random game variables to each match. The nomadic storm changes where players can fight, similar to the storm found in Fortnite. Environmental hazards like high speed bullet trains add lethal threats that players need to avoid to survive. Monsters and bosses often spawn in different biomes that can drop powerful abilities for players to use.

Supervive is set to launch as a free-to-play title, with monetization only applicable to Supervive skins and no pay-to-win mechanics. Supervive is currently only available on PC through Steam, with a console release yet to be confirmed. In the circumstance that the game does come to consoles, players will need to know whether PS5 or Xbox Series X is better.

The Bottom Line

Supervive is shaping up to fulfill a unique niche in an oversaturated market. It will combine the competitiveness of MOBAs with the scale of battle royales for a fast-paced hero shooter experience.

The Supervive download for the open beta is available on Steam and will end on 21 October 2024. The game will return to closed beta until the release sometime in Q1 2025.
