Time Takers is the newest third-person battle royale from NCSOFT and Mistill Games, revealed at Gamescom 2025. On the surface, it looks like a chaotic mashup of heroes pulled from across time – a knight with a sword, a bionic soldier, even a monkey astronaut from the future – but the real hook is how it plays.
This isn’t a battle royale where perfect aim is everything. Director Yongmin Jo explains that the focus is on giving everyone a fair shot, whether you’re great at headshots or not. That’s where the Time Energy system comes in. Every decision you make revolves around it. If you are curious, you can check out its core game features below.

What’s smart is how this stops players from just hiding until the end. You can play slow and cautious, but you’ll have burned your energy just to stay in the match, leaving you weaker when the real fight begins. It forces you to think, adapt, and take risks.
If that sounds exciting, there’s a playtest coming up soon, and you can already sign up for it on Steam.
