By Operation Games

7.22.2026

Welcome to Season 3!

The Nexus Core is finally online. Battle with two new weapons, explore a brand-new POI, enjoy quality-of-life improvements, and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the island's newest landmark.

Season Story

The massive construction project that began in Season 2 has finally reached its biggest milestone.

The Nexus Core is now operational, standing at the center of the island as one of the largest structures ever built in Scope. While the facility surrounding it remains unfinished, strange activity has already begun around the Core.

Some of the people trapped inside the Scope simulation have started asking questions. Why was the Nexus Core built? Who is really behind it? And what is its true purpose?

For now, the answers remain hidden...
