Chesterfield, UK –August 13, 2025– International games publisher Funbox Media Ltd and independent developer NYX Digital are thrilled to announce the official release of the award-winning third-person shooter Battle of Rebels, launching on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Steam on August 28th, 2025. An Xbox Series X version will follow, with physical editions available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.
Developed over the course of three years by a dedicated solo indie developer, Battle of Rebels has already made waves in the gaming community, earning recognition with a range of prestigious Unreal Game Competition awards for innovation and technical excellence. Now, players across major platforms can dive into its intense cross-platform, online multiplayer battles, powered by the robust Photon multiplayer server, marking a major milestone as Funbox Media Ltd’s first foray into the online multiplayer space.
Battle of Rebels is an immersive game set in a world where aliens have planted human cloning machines in downtown areas, corrupting human DNA and turning people into zombies. To disable these machines, players must first clear the surrounding area of zombies. Once the area is secure, the Alien Boss appears; defeating it grants the access key needed to shut down the machine.
The game offers freedom and flexibility, encouraging players to gather supplies, defeat enemies, and choose their own path to victory. In the single-player storyline, a deadly virus spreads across Earth following the alien invasion. Despite the uniting of armies worldwide, humanity is unable to stop the technologically advanced invaders, whose cloning abilities blur the line between human and enemy.
With defense lines broken, alien-controlled human clones—known as “human aliens”—surround the survivors. Some humans become infected, transforming into walking dead and plunging the world into chaos. The outcome of this war remains uncertain, leaving the fate of humanity in the balance.
