San Diego, CA – September 29, 2025 – Distinct Possibility Studios is kicking off the Foundation event for Reaper Actual on October 8, 2025. Reaper Actual is an Open-World Persistent Shooter where hundreds of players engage in FPS combat against each other and 5 NPC Factions on the massive war-torn island of Marova. Players can secure their place in the foundation and give direct feedback to the development team through Foundation Bundles. This is the chance to be among the first to drop into Marova, a massive, persistent battlefield filled with rival factions, player-built bases, and high-stakes action. With Foundation, players can get a first look at their base and Reaper characters.
Experience the battles as the game evolves as Foundation members help shape the island’s future, and witness the gameplay grow in real time.
The development team is looking forward to working with the community on feedback to ensure that Reaper Actual is ready for Early Access launch in 2026.

Foundation players who purchase directly through our marketplace will receive tradable items, enabling the ownership and the ability to trade Reapers, bases, and cosmetics with other players,” said John Smedley, CEO of Distinct Possibility Studios. “We believe this offers the widest range of choice for players on how they choose to enjoy Reaper Actual and look forward to seeing how the world and community evolve over time.”
For Players who decide to purchase a Web-3 powered version of the game built on Etherlink. They will have access to trade Reapers, bases, and cosmetics through our marketplace and gain enhanced ownership on optional blockchain-enabled servers. This marketplace operates separately and never impacts gameplay balance. We believe this provides maximum choice for how players prefer to own and trade their collection.
