Think Wall-E's representation of a polluted future, the whimsical plant-based combat of Plants vs. Zombies, and the strategic FPS intensity of Valorant.

Emerald Uprising is a co-op FPS where you and your squad become Eco Warriors, fighting enemies not with bullets, but with nature. Set in a world choking on environmental collapse, you'll take on missions across diverse biomes — from polluted cities to oil-slicked oceans to forest wildfires.

You'll battle smog, fire, and trash monsters with an eco-powered arsenal. That fire monster destroying the once bright green forest? Use your Water Gun to extinguish its flames and regenerate the surrounding plant life. Throw your Seed Grenade to disable nearby enemies and see a burst of flourishing plants erupt from the earth, purifying the air and restoring terrain. Your weapons don't just fight — they heal.

Flipping the FPS genre on its head — Emerald Uprising is thrilling, strategic, and relentlessly hopeful.
