AVA RE:BIRTH CBT Puts Extraction Mode To The Test
The extraction mode gives a game built on cheap respawns and instant firefights a second, slower mode, and the tension between those two designs is the thing to watch when AVA RE:BIRTH launches.

GOP Corporation's free-to-play FPS AVA RE:BIRTH, which inherits the Alliance of Valiant Arms IP, ran a closed beta test through October 7 ahead of a fall 2026 release. The CBT included three modes: 5-on-5 Annihilation, 4-on-4 Demolition, and the PvPvE extraction mode HUNTING FIELD, where dying carries the risk of losing what you brought in.
AVA RE:BIRTH runs three classes: Pointman for close range, Rifleman as the mid-range all-rounder, and Sniper for long range. The three sit in a rock-paper-scissors relationship, and players can switch class at the start of a mode or on respawn.
The CBT also showed the mode split clearly. Annihilation sends you back into the fight immediately after death. Demolition does not, so a round rewards quiet movement and coordination. HUNTING FIELD sits apart from both, and the CBT made the gamble its defining feature rather than the shooting.
