G.O.P. announced on September 11 its game balance policy for AVA RE:BIRTH, a new PC online FPS using the Alliance of Valiant Arms IP. The game is scheduled to launch in fall 2026 on Windows PC through Pmang and VFUN. G.O.P. says the priority is an environment where players feel their skill and understanding deepen through repeated play, with results from strategic judgment and equipment upgrades mattering beyond aim strength. Weapon balance is being rebuilt so assault rifles, submachine guns, and sniper rifles keep distinct feels, after what G.O.P. describes as homogenized play feel from performance inflation. Damage is adjusted to extend engagement time, so recoil control and positioning decide fights rather than the first shot. The three classic classes return: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. G.O.P. says it is making strict adjustments so paid items and earnable items do not create a large performance gap. A preliminary test is under consideration, with the next concrete development to be announced soon.
G.O.P. says paid items may work as a time-saving role rather than a power shortcut. The publisher also confirmed the new survival mode HUNTING FIELD, which was announced earlier and described as a PvPvE extraction shooter.
The three classes return with stated roles. A Pointman uses mobility to cut into enemy lines at close range. A Rifleman holds the front line and responds at all ranges. A Sniper watches from long range and can overturn a match with one shot. G.O.P. says choosing the right class for the map and the team plan is part of the strategy.
Beginner and advanced players get different targets. In HUNTING FIELD and other content, combat tempo and engagement time are tuned so new players can pick a pace through exploration, collection, extraction, and fighting. Advanced players are meant to keep refining positioning, map awareness, and recoil control.
The AVA IP has a history of over 18 years. G.O.P. cites 70,000 matches breaking out every day and over 2.8 million cumulative players. The game runs on Windows PC through Pmang and VFUN, with a teaser site at avarebirth.pmang.jp. The next information release will cover the status of the preliminary test talks and the next concrete development, with the teaser site as the main channel for updates.
