It’s time to build YOUR Volta! GungHo Online Entertainment America (GOEA) has released a new trailer for their real-time strategy mech battler Volta-X, announcing the first public beta and revealing that it will be launching for PC in addition to Nintendo Switch. The PC-only beta will be playable for one day on July 18 and will be the first time players will get to customize their own massive robots called Voltas and battle against each other online. Players will also be able to get a first look into the single-player story mode and experience the beginning of the pilots’ journey in the World Volta Association (WVA). Keys are limited, so sign up for the beta for a chance to handcraft your own Volta loadouts and join the battle!
Volta-X is a real-time strategy RPG where players control a crew of animal pilots working together within a giant Volta mech to battle other Voltas and monstrous Kaiju in both PvE and PvP fights. Strategy in battle is key as players manage firing off weapons and commanding their team of Volta pilots to power-up weapons, repair their Volta, or extinguish fires. It takes quick reflexes and careful thought to take down your opponent in the game’s fast-paced combat.
But there’s more to Volta-X than just robot combat. Between tournaments, the crew is housed at their secret headquarters where they recuperate, relax, and work to perfect their Voltas. Players can customize their headquarters with various rooms to research specialized equipment like the heat saber, massive drills, and deadly acid launchers. The customization doesn’t end there – the base itself can be kitted out with a barracks, machine shop, garden, music room, and even a cinema to make sure the crew of pilots remain happy and healthy. As players progress through the game, they’ll learn more about their crew members and the world they live in… including some secrets the WVA thought would stay hidden forever.
Volta-X is scheduled to launch later this summer and will be available on PC and Nintendo Switch for $19.99 USD.
