AVA RE:BIRTH is a PC online FPS from G.O.P using the Alliance of Valiant Arms IP, set for a fall 2026 launch on Windows PC through Pmang and VFUN. Pre-registration and closed beta recruitment opened on September 24, 2026, with the closed beta running October 1 to October 7 and only 2,000 players selected by lottery.
AVA RE:BIRTH is the successor to Alliance of Valiant Arms, the online FPS known as AVA. G.O.P named the project on August 12, 2026 and set a fall 2026 release window, narrowing an earlier plan for within 2026. The original AVA ends its service on October 28, 2026 after starting in Japan in December 2008, roughly 18 years of operation. The Pmang version shuts down; A.V.A Global remains available on Steam. G.O.P said AVA peaked at 70,000 matches played daily with over 2.8 million cumulative players.
The new game adds HUNTING FIELD, an extraction-style mode announced on August 28. Players sortie into AVA locations, collect supplies from crates, and contend with AI soldiers and other players; failing to reach an extraction portal before the time limit costs them everything gathered. Equipment earned there carries into other modes. G.O.P followed with a balance policy on September 11: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper return as classes, weapon balance is rebuilt so assault rifles, submachine guns, and sniper rifles keep distinct feels, and damage is adjusted to extend engagement time. G.O.P says paid and earnable items should not create a large performance gap.
On September 2, G.O.P opened a farewell site for AVA covering 18 years and 6,485 days of service, with a character name transfer campaign to the new title running until September 24. On September 24, pre-registration and closed beta recruitment opened. The closed beta runs October 1 at 16:00 to October 7 at 12:00, with applications until September 29 at 12:00, 2,000 players selected by lottery, and results posted from September 30 at 12:00. Pre-registration milestones run from 50,000 to 300,000 registrations. A character name early acquisition campaign runs until October 26 at 12:00.

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 announced on August 28 details for HUNTING FIELD, a new mode in AVA RE:BIRTH, the upcoming PC online FPS that continues the Alliance of Valiant Arms (AVA) series. The mode is an extraction shooter-style survival experience where players sortie into familiar AVA locations like urban areas and vast deserts, collect supplies from scattered crates, and contend with roaming AI soldiers and other players. Players who fail to reach an extraction portal before the time limit lose everything they gathered. Equipment acquired and upgraded in HUNTING FIELD can also be used in other game modes within AVA RE:BIRTH, creating a growth loop described as "endless" that raises the player's status as a soldier. The announcement updated the official teaser site and released a second teaser movie showing large-scale battles with helicopters and tanks. G.O.P stated that the next information release will discuss the game's balance policy, addressing whether the balance of the original AVA era can be faithfully reproduced while evolving for modern players. AVA RE:BIRTH is scheduled to launch on PC via Pmang and VFUN in autumn 2026. The original AVA service will end on October 28, 2026.
