Exoborne Playtesters Racked Up 500,000 Matches and $7B Loot

Feb 24, 2025 4:31 PM

Exoborne, Sharkmob's third-person extraction shooter, has made impressive strides in its closed playtest, with players participating in over 500,000 matches and securing over $7 billion in in-game loot within just five days. The stats reveal that 7 million NPCs were eliminated and nearly half a million successful extractions were recorded. Although playtest participants unlocked cosmetics for the full game, all progress will be reset for future tests and the official launch. This new title aims to improve on Sharkmob's previous release, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt, by incorporating more robust story content and mainstream gameplay elements. Players are encouraged to stay engaged via social media for upcoming in-game rewards.

What are Exoborne's key features from the playtest?

Exoborne's playtest showcased dynamic third-person shooter action with a substantial loot system, featuring over $7 billion in in-game loot, player-versus-environment elements, and a focus on cooperative gameplay with the potential for engaging story content.

Exoborne aims to attract players with its blend of narrative and action, moving away from the shortcomings of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt. By tapping into the popular extraction shooter genre, it hopes to capitalize on the successes of other titles and create a compelling gaming experience. Fans are advised to keep a lookout for its full release, as well as promotional events leading up to it.

Exoborne’s playtest numbers are insane, but what really catches my eye is the focus on blending story with extraction shooter mechanics—something that could set it apart in a crowded genre. If Sharkmob can nail that balance, this might just be the game that finally sticks for them.

Wow, Exoborne's playtest stats are wild—500k matches and $7 billion in loot in just five days Sharkmob’s clearly doubling down on the extraction shooter hype, and if they nail the story elements this time, this could be a serious contender. Fingers crossed they don’t pull a Bloodhunt and actually deliver on that potential.
