Evaluation

Legend Battles launched into Early Access on January 16–17, 2026, initially offering an offline Solo PvE mode on the Aurora island map (25 km²). The launch post on January 19, 2026 laid out a clear roadmap: Co-op PvE was coming "in the coming weeks," and a full Multiplayer PvPvE mode on the larger Bellona continent (400 km²) would follow after that. The Bellona continent itself is still formally listed on the Steam store as an unreleased DLC — "Legend Battles: Bellona" — with no release date. While the developer published extensive pre-release coverage of the Bellona map in August 2025 (describing a 400 km² map at 185 GB), and the store description references a 500 km² world combining both Aurora and Bellona, the DLC listing remains in an unreleased state, meaning the developer has not yet marked it as formally delivered to Early Access players. Development has been actively ongoing throughout the Early Access period. The store description highlights Version 1.1 (dated June 17, 2026), which brought massive FPS optimizations, improved NPC mechanics, and a new 3D lobby — the most recent developer communication in the data. The studio's CTO presented at the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum on March 31–April 1, 2026, showcasing ongoing R&D into next-generation AI systems (JEPA architecture) for the game's NPCs, signaling continued long-term technical investment. The game uses a Battle Coin economy earned through gameplay, with cosmetic items tradeable on the Steam Community Marketplace. The developer explicitly states there are no microtransactions. There is no battle pass or monetized content rotation structure described. With an unreleased DLC on the store, a stated roadmap of game modes still to be delivered, and confirmed active development through June 2026, this game has substantial content still in the pipeline and remains in Early Access.

Legend Battles is an award-winning, hyper-realistic sci-fi Extraction Battle Royale built on Unreal Engine 5.6. Deployed from the Siege-Breaker Flagship via jet suits, you’ll explore a massive 500 km² handcrafted urban world of Neo-Terra. Master four specialist roles: Bulwark, Mobility, Engineering, and Ordnance, pick up weapons on the ground, in purchase stations, and during airdrops, complete attack, defense, looting and extraction missions against giant ET-ACUs, armored aliens, ferocious monsters and dynamic threats such as thunderstorms, tornadoes and bombing raids.

Experience high-octane traversal with destructible vehicles reaching 400 km/h, teleportation, zip lines, parachutes and a tactical 5D battlefield. The "Play-to-Trade" economy lets you extract recyclables to drive a real-world Steam Marketplace presence. From solo Simulation to high-stakes Abyss Operations, every victory advances the Global Progress Bar. Synergize, extract, and become a Legend Hunter!

Immerse yourself in a hyper-realistic epic and deadly 500 km² neo-futuristic urban warzone, ENTIRELY HANDCRAFTED, featuring destructible environments and vehicles capable of reaching speeds up to 400 km/h, in solo PvE, co-op PvE, or PvPvE multiplayer, fast-paced third-person and first-person shooter game against AI opponents. Wield a vast arsenal of powerful weapons, from tactical knives, combat guitars and assault rifles to submachine guns, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, grenade launchers and RPG-7s, not to mention laser-guided bombs and ICBM. Beware, in this vast and hostile environment, you can easily get lost, so stay close to your squad with your medical kit.

ATTACK the alien teleportation machines to prevent them from communicating with their headquarters.

DEFEND the vehicle purchase stations to acquire armored vehicles and fight the invaders with flair.

LOOT the quantum barrels from the alien quantum stations to power your telecommunication towers and begin communicating with your bomber spaceship.

EXTRACTION via the helicopter landing pad, where the shuttle of your spacecraft can land during the extraction process, to return to your flagship, the Stellar Siege-Breaker.

Enter the magnificent continent of Bellona DLC (500 km²) and the island of Aurora (36 km²) included in the app, both handcrafted with Unreal Engine 5.6, where hundreds of megacities sprawl across rocky deserts, each bursting with unique architecture, richly furnished interiors, cyberpunk basements, and combat-ready rooftops. Leap from buildings, parachute in vibrant patterns, or make a last-second escape using ziplines. But beware—ambushes await. And if you’re lucky enough to find a helicopter, prepare for aerial chaos: ride with your squad, rain down fire from above, and enjoy the view—until an RPG lights you up.

LEGEND BATTLES is a brutal, 5-DIMENSIONAL urban war that takes place outdoors, indoors, in basements, on rooftops, and on stationary spaceships. The sprawling megacities are full of ambushes around every corner, in stairwells, countless interiors, underground parking lots, on rooftops, on spaceships. You will fight in vertical labyrinths where danger and opportunity lurk on every floor. Climb anything: lampposts, trees, towers, rooftops, cranes, spaceships. Break down fences, smash windows, infiltrate skyscrapers, attack from the air using ZIP LINES, and PARACHUTE in.

ET-ACUs, TANKS, DRONES and UFOs  are heavily armed with blades, miniguns, medium and heavy laser cannons, flamethrowers, Tesla machine guns, missile launchers, and plasma cannons in the form of robots, hovercraft, drones, and UFOs.

ALIENS are equipped with deadly futuristic weapons such as wave guns, plasma pistols, flamethrowers, missile launchers, and quad-barreled drones, and wear sci-fi-style armor.

Extraterrestrial INVADERS carry C-4 explosives and fight with tactical knives, spiked baseball bats, and their fists.

MONSTERS spit flames and poisonous liquids, and their claws and bites are often fatal.

Vehicles are excellent means of transportation, but they can quickly turn into deadly bombs under enemy fire. They are partially or completely destructible, and you risk losing doors, bumpers, the hood, and much more. The range of vehicles is vast: racing motorcycles, street and motocross bikes, Grand Prix and sports cars, city cars, off-road vehicles, pickup trucks, and trucks. But our favorites remain ARMORED VEHICLES and HELICOPTERS for air attacks.

On the battlefield, equip yourself by looting everything you find or stripping fallen enemies of their gear, and for the best players, buy everything you need at the PURCHASE STATIONS with the Battle Coins earned during the combat. AIRDROPS are also a source of equipment where you can loot more weapons or buy your loadouts with Battle Coins, and you can quickly escape through TELEPORTATION PORTALS. In case of insurmountable danger, request support from your flagship spaceship to bombard the enemies or even fire ICBMs, and protect yourself with a hazmat suit, whose RADIATION FOG will be fatal to the aliens and monsters.

BULWARK SPECIALIST (Drone/Shield) is the frontline anchor of the squad, deploying Defensive Drones to draw enemy fire and Protection Shield to secure the battlefield for teammates.

MOBILITY SPECIALIST (Thruster/Vehicle) is an ultra-fast machinist, operating Kinetic Thrusters and Ornithopter, Battlefield Deployment Systems, enabling rapid repositioning, logistics support, and Armored Vehicle insertion.

ENGINEERING SPECIALIST (Tower/Terminal) ensures the maintenance of frontline defenses and battlefield structures using Nano-Repair Agent Injection Towers and Neural Network-Based Terminals for servicing Vehicle Purchase Stations.

ORDNANCE SPECIALIST (Turret/Weapon) controls High-Energy Weapon Systems and Multi-Functional Turrets with massive firepower, overwhelming enemies with an extensive area denial capability.

During a gaming session, each specialist can gradually gain 8 levels of specialization, for example, 5 levels in their main specialty (maximum level) and one level in each of the 3 other specialties.

As the game sessions progress, the ET-ACUs, Aliens, and Monsters will become increasingly difficult to defeat during attack, defense, looting, and extraction missions, all against a backdrop of intense, chaotic, hilarious, and deadly FRIENDLY FIRE.
