public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
Solís is a massive open world (approximately 1024 square kilometers) featuring four distinct biomes: Rainforest (lush, dense jungles), Grasslands (rolling plains and farmlands), Alpine (snowy mountains and icy peaks), and Desert (arid landscapes and canyons). Each biome hosts unique weather patterns and points of interest. The world is divided into numerous regions that can be liberated by advancing the Army of Chaos's front line. |
The game features a massive, seamless open world. Players can freely roam the city across its overground (ruined streets, skyscrapers), underground (subways, sewers), and sky, with no loading screens. Player actions can dynamically change which factions control different city districts. |

The Expansion Pass included three major DLCs: 'Dare Devils of Destruction' (vehicle-centric challenges, races, and new weaponized vehicles), 'Los Demonios' (a supernatural horror-themed expansion with demonic enemies and a new crossbow weapon), and 'Danger Rising' (missions against The Agency, introducing a hoverboard, new Agency weapons, and missions on a submarine). Numerous smaller cosmetic and gear packs (e.g., Neon Racer, Deathstalker Scorpion, Golden Gear, The Dragon weapon) were also released. |
The game is designed as a live-service MMO, with rotating weekly and monthly events, PvE raid rotations, and timed world quests. Future content expansions are expected, with potential for guild vs. guild territory battles. |
