At the E3 PC Gaming Show, developer Automaton Games debuted its first gameplay trailer for Mavericks: Proving Grounds. The game is an upcoming massively multiplayer tactical shooter. The trailer shows brand-new features and the unprecedented scale of its 400-player, next-gen battle royale experience.
Mavericks’ battle royale will also feature a 1000-player mode that offers a revolutionary multiplayer experience. Available shortly after launch, these 1000-player battles will feature five-player squads dropped into a continually shrinking section of the game’s 16x16km (100 square miles) map to compete to the last team standing. 200 to 400-player solo and squad games will be available as standard from Mavericks’ early access release later in the year.

Closed beta and exclusive E3 content
Automaton also announced that its closed beta will launch this August, giving a limited number of players the chance to play Mavericks for the very first time. Players can sign up for a chance to access the free, closed beta, and be part of the world’s largest ever battle royale game, at mavericks.gg/closed-beta. Players who sign up before 11:59 p.m. PDT on June 17th can also claim an exclusive E3 Content Pack that includes a unique in-game weapon skin and starter outfit.
Players joining the Mavericks: Proving Grounds beta can expect advanced gameplay systems such as destructible environments, unique and dynamic wildlife and terrain deformation. This makes Mavericks the world’s only persistent, living world battle royale game.

This is made possible thanks to Improbable’s groundbreaking technology, SpatialOS. SpatialOS is a cloud-based platform for creating games that go beyond the design limitations of traditional server architectures, allowing developers to build massive, living, persistent worlds with player populations that were previously impossible.
Mavericks: Proving Grounds will release in two phases: the battle royale mode in Winter 2018, supplemented by a persistent open world in 2019.
