Explore Massive Worlds
You’ll begin your journey on the island of Aurora with fully explorable terrain. From detailed interiors and rooftops to towering landscapes, every corner is built with combat in mind.
Powered by Unreal Engine 5.6
Legend Battles harnesses the latest shooter technologies with Unreal Engine 5.6, bringing MetaHumans, hyper-realistic visuals, Lumen, Nanite, Chaos, MetaSounds and next-gen gameplay to life like never before.
Multiplayer Across Borders
We’re building something ambitious: smooth, global multiplayer battles powered by AWS GameLift. This ensures the best cloud services for performance and scalability, but with such advanced systems, we kindly ask for your patience —your feedback will be crucial to help us refine stability and gameplay balance across different regions.
Hardware and software requirements for the app:

By joining the Playtest, you won’t just be testing the future of Legend Battles, you’ll also unlock exclusive rewards like outfits, weapon skins, and vehicles.

Who knows—your favorite skin might even pay for your next Battle Pass (or a coffee and cake)!
