Reikon has officially announced Metal Eden, a fast-paced sci-fi FPS, launching on 6 May 2025. Revealed during State of Play, the game throws players into Moebius, a corporate-run artificial city built to extract minerals from the planet Vulcan. You play as Aska, an advanced android created by Nexus, one of the city’s founders, tasked with uncovering the truth behind the Citadel’s inanimate colonists.

A brutal and strategic combat system
The standout feature of Metal Eden is a mechanic that turns enemies into weapons. Using the Multitool’s Gravity Beam, Aska can rip Cores straight from enemies, then either launch them to create explosive takedowns or absorb them for buffs like enhanced melee, mobility, or survivability. It’s a high-risk, high-reward system that adds tactical depth to the action.
To execute a Core Rip, you’ll need to:
- Break enemy armour – Only unarmoured foes can be ripped, so energy weapons are key.
- Get in position – Move close, aim, and wait for the crosshair indicator.
- Follow the prompt – When it appears, hit the button and rip away.
Progression through Body Modules
Exploration plays a role too. Aska can hack drones throughout Moebius to gain Body Modules, which strengthen her Core and unlock new combat abilities. Timing and strategy are crucial—choosing the right module at the right time can shift the tide of battle.
Fast, fluid, and deadly movements
Movement in Metal Eden is just as aggressive as its combat. Glide, dash, wall-run, and weave through enemy fire in a seamless way. The mix of precision gunplay, melee strikes, and Core-powered abilities makes every fight feel dynamic and responsive.
Metal Eden is shaping up to be a brutal, high-speed shooter with deep mechanics and intense action. Stay tuned for more details on weapons, upgrades, and everything else leading up to launch.
