NC Unveils Team Survival FPS 'Like or Die' at Gamescom ONL
NC announced its new team-based survival FPS 'Like or Die' during the gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 broadcast on August 26, 2026, releasing a reveal trailer, a lore trailer, a Steam store page, and a brand website. The game, previously known as 'Project Bonfire,' casts players as streamers on a universe-scale platform called 'Quaya Stream,' competing in matches of four teams of four players each, for a total of 16 players. Each team defends a base called a 'Nexus,' which allows respawning as long as it stands; the goal is to destroy enemy Nexuses and be the last team alive. The signature mechanic is 'Block Action,' where players place simple square blocks to build walls, bridges, and high ground, reshaping the battlefield. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and is planned for PC and consoles, with a PC (Steam) release confirmed. The release date has not been announced. In an interview, Director Hyungsoo Chun and Production Head Hwan Kim explained that 'likes' function as an out-of-game quest reward from cosmic sponsors, tied to avatar customization, not in-match stats.
