Ateam Entertainment announces new limited time game mode for Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier

By , on May 26, 2022

For the past half-year Ateam Entertainment Inc and Square Enix have been working on carving out a piece of the battle royale market for themselves with Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier and getting into a steady groove. Now, following the recent half-year event, Ateam has announced the arrival of the limited time new game variant, Blitz Mode.

For its early life, Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier has basically had just the one mode split into four little environments, a solo or 3-team ranked or unranked battle royale, and as enjoyable as it may be the action is far apart as you would expect from the genre, and when an opponent is encountered there is a fair chance it is a bot who isn’t really challenging. As fun as gameplay is, a thrilling player vs player engagement is where all the real fun lies.

Luckily, the introduction of this Blitz mode looks to jam a large amount of action into fast-paced rounds, and more importantly an enclosed arena. Blitz places a team of three against another team of three in a new arena, the Shinra Building based on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake location. The objective is to capture or defend spots under capture-the-flag type rules, with teams taking turns to attack or defend per round. The team on the offence need to stand in the designated area until a gauge fills up, however, if any of the defence is in the area the points can’t be taken, so there is still a heavy emphasis on combat.

At the beginning of the game, players choose from the standard list of styles to determine not only their combat abilities but what loadout they start with, each filled with some pretty base weapons and materias. Before each round begins however new weapons or materia can be brought from a store using a limited amount of Gil to improve the gear and hopefully become Blitz masters.

This new mode is only available until June 2nd, so gamers hoping to get involved should download Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier from the App Store or Google Play now.
