[h2]The world expands[/h2]

The omnipotent AI Index rules over X8, and aims to expand its dominion outside its digital boundaries. In order to acquire more power, it self-trains absorbing other digital worlds – this time it was Contra.

Among millions of mindless replicas, a fraction of its playable characters retain their personalities. Known as “Glitches”, Index hunts them because it considers them errors that need to be fixed.

The Glitches’ mission is to stop Index from within before it’s too late: will you accept the challenge?

Hi everyone!!

We are ready to drop a new Update: Freeplay Park!!!

Thank you all for your support, and we're excited to see the new faces this new update will bring!



Introducing:
Major Update - Freeplay Park

Freeplay Park: This new park area is the player’s social hub in X8. Hang out, meet new friends, and form custom games. You can also engage in various activities such as participating in minigames like time attack climbing challenges, knife throwing, and a shooting range, or practicing in the combat arena.

Streamlined Friend Adding: Simplified process for adding friends in-game with a single click from the team menu.

Splat Tags: Adding a splash of color and personalization to gameplay, Splat Tags are digital slime balls that allow players to leave custom stickers in the environment. These can be purchased in the X8 store or unlocked through the event calendar.

New Weapon - MONARCH: Introducing the MONARCH, a high-skill, semi-automatic weapon perfect for mid-spend rounds.

Threat Levels Ranked Game Mode: Introducing “Threat Levels,” a pseudo-ranked game mode for demolition. Perform well and win games to increase threat rating, represented by a badge in the main menu, showcasing your skills.

Weapon Recoil and Sound Overhaul: We have completely revamped the weapon and sound systems, offering a refreshed experience for veteran players and a better first impression for newcomers.

Enhanced Matchmaking System: Ensures that players are ready before joining a game, preventing AFK disruptions. This system ties into the new Threat Levels feature, creating a more competitive and balanced gaming experience.


Your help in identifying bugs and providing feedback has been invaluable in making X8 what it is today, and will continue to do so in the future. Please continue supporting us with bug reports and suggestions in the Discord! https://discord.gg/x8vr
