Everreach Labs partners with Twitch to transform spectators into true players with their title REVENGE. An innovation that could well shake up the gaming industry.
The Spectator Becomes a Player
The days of watching a stream meaning being passive in front of your screen are over! Everreach Labs has just announced a collaboration with Twitch that is going to make waves. Their game REVENGE introduces the revolutionary concept of “Crowdplay Gaming”, where viewers no longer just watch, but actively participate in the action.
The idea? Viewers become “Oracles” who can influence events, challenges and decisions in real time while the streamer plays. An approach that aligns with a current trend: gamers now spend more time each week watching matches than playing them.
REVENGE: An FPS Built for Streaming
REVENGE is presented as a cooperative PvE shooter in free-to-play, but its distinctive feature lies in its native integration with the Twitch API. Unlike games that tack on interactive features after the fact, REVENGE was designed from the ground up with this collaborative philosophy.
Key features:
- Active participation by spectators: Viewers directly influence gameplay
- Unprecedented cooperative gameplay: Strategic collaboration between players and spectators
- Simplified streaming: Native integration that eases interaction with the audience
- Community strengthening: Improved engagement and retention
A Veteran Team at the Helm
Founded in 2021, Everreach Labs brings together an experienced team of veterans from Ubisoft, Nintendo, Wargaming, and Tencent Games. Their ambition? To redefine the future of video games by bringing players and spectators closer together.
“Thanks to our partnership with Twitch, we are pushing the boundaries of video games as we know them,” says Nicolas Bougartchev, co-founder and co-CEO of Everreach Labs. “With REVENGE, we’re not just offering a game to watch, but an experience to live in real time, alongside your community.”
Cutting-Edge Technology
The studio is betting on advanced technologies such as Unreal Engine 5 and blockchain to deliver immersive and inclusive experiences. This technological approach underpins their vision of more community-driven and interactive gaming.
Launch and Availability
REVENGE will soon enter the Pre-Alpha technical testing phase, with early access reserved for a selected group of Twitch streamers and content creators. The game will be available on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Players can already sign up at www.getrevenge.io to stay updated and participate in this revolution of community gaming.
This collaboration between Everreach Labs and Twitch looks promising and could well inaugurate a new era in the gaming industry. The concept of Crowdplay Gaming responds to a real trend and could inspire other developers. It remains to be seen whether the execution will live up to the ambitions stated!
