It is with great excitement, A.V.A will release on August 25, 2022 via Steam!
To fulfill our community’s requests, our team’s developers have made extensive updates. The game will enter the launch phase and run continuously.
Before releasing, we will announce a series of updates and patch notes in the upcoming weeks. We hope all mercenaries support our team; and welcome AVA with open hearts!
We are expanding AVA Global service to Japan effective immediately. Spread the word: everyone from Japan will be able to enjoy AVA on Steam from now on! Japanese Content Creators can now also sign up to become a Partner, so if you make videos or stream then make sure to sign up below! Link: http://bit.ly/3tHiM2j
Additionally, we will need a Japanese mod to act as a volunteer Community Moderator. If you are interested, sign up here: https://forms.gle/32bHsDLdAsCwVg7E6
Then the bad news. Unfortunately, we would not be able to provide service to Belgium and the Netherlands as to other regions; this means that users in these 2 regions will not be able to download the game. If the legislative situation changes in these regions, then we would consider accommodating these users in the future.
For all other unaffected regions, we will make sure to provide you with a high quality, community-centered service.
As always, stay tuned for the 'huge update' in August!
Sincerely, Your AVA Operations Team
DEVELOPMENT LOG: NEW MAP LIST
Mercenaries!
We would like the announce the list of maps in the upcoming Playtest!
As promised last week, we would like to share another new feature of the A.V.A Global build. This feature is a Skin Tier System, which indicates by color what the rarity of the skin is. This color will also be displayed on the kill feed after neutralizing an enemy. The tiers are in descending order of rarity: 1. ????? (Yellow) 2. Premium (Red) - The item displayed is the Night Flier. 3. Epic (Purple) - The item displayed is the Red Valkyrie. 4. Regular (Green) - The items displayed are the Dreamcatcher & Silvermoon 5. Base (Grey) - The item displayed is the Origin.
How each Skin Tier can be obtained will be disclosed when the build is live. For now, we want to share the division with an example, which you can find below. Lastly, there is going to be a huge thing coming in August, so leave your notifications on!

Development Log: Brand New UI Showcase (Video)
Mercenaries!
As promised to showcase more of the gameplay, we have prepared something special for you!
Below is the brand new graphical interface of AVA! You will see the brand new introduction film, a variety of launch options, clan selection and management options, etc.
Please note that some features are still in development, so there will be some errors; we are working hard to fix this.
As we inch closer to revealing more details regarding the next CBT, we are very excited to announce the brand new Clan System!
Get ready to CLAN UP! This is now integrated with a new UI, as shown below. You may join a clan or modify a clan with in-game options. We will explain more about the Clan System in the future.
Second, we would like to confirm the removal of the Weapon Modification Ticket system after consulting feedback from the community. We are also planning a reasonable reward to replace these tickets with as the previous CBT rewards.
Stay tuned for exciting updates in the upcoming weeks!
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Your AVA Operations Team
AVA Development Log: Easy Anti-Cheat Integration Status
Mercenaries!
Today, we have great news! We have completed the Easy Anti-Cheat (EOS) integration. We are currently conducting testing of this system in another version.
After reviewing bug reports that people generously provided during CBT, we noticed EOS's challenges with 32 bit Operating Systems (OS). It is possible that the game will not run on these OS. In addition, this support would not be added in the future due to Microsoft's plan to phase out the 32 bit OS completely. We advise everyone to upgrade to the 64 bit OS.
In the upcoming weeks, we look forward to sharing more updates of CBT Playtest including more content, new weapons and most importantly, a date.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely, Your AVA Operations Team
AVA Development Log: Making Progress
Mercenaries!
First of all, we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all the users who are waiting for AVA. Our team has been constantly modernizing the game. We are happy to inform you of the current development updates.
Through the last CBT, our team has once again confirmed that all users showed great support to AVA. We are doing our best to resolve the problems that appeared in CBT. While we continue to make progress on updating AVA, we have been producing positive strides.
We start off by giving AVA a refreshing look. Our team has revised and improved the game to evoke the great memories that users have. We are aimed at bringing you the best gaming experience!
In the future, we hope to release more about the details of improvements and how they will appear in-game. This means that we hope to showcase Clan Battle, changes to the weapon systems, UI renewal, the full removal of P2W, and more! We are considering sharing screenshots of new content in the upcoming weeks, so please stay tuned! To kick off, below is a sneak peek of the new UI (may be subject to change).
In January we also shared a couple of issues. The AntiCheat integration is almost ready for testing. We are actively investigating the other issues. We hope that the AntiCheat integration fixes the instability issues and that the in-game chat will be more secure for the future.
Once again, thank you all for your infinite support. There is not much time left until the opening of AVA on Steam. We will do our best to show you the true FPS experience as soon as possible!
Sincerely, Your AVA Operations Team
Summary of CBT Feedback and Internal Testing
Mercenaries!
We would like to thank everyone for your patience as we continue to make wonderful progress on AVA.
After the CBT, we have been working very hard to adjust the anti-cheat system to AVA. While integrating EOS (New Easy Anti-cheat) to AVA, we are making sure that it is adjusted to the game properly. As per community feedback, we want to make sure that the anti-cheat system is 100% effective.
Based on CBT feedback, we have identified the weapon hit registry to be an issue. Our research concluded that this is not server-related, but we are continuing to look into this issue. We hope to provide everyone with a positive gameplay experience.
We noticed in-game chat behaviors that violated the Code of Conduct during CBT, therefore we are currently looking for ways to make AVA a more pleasant place for everyone. We ask everyone to treat each other with respect and human decency.
Once a proper outline is ready to be released, we will make sure that the community will be the first to know.
We hope you are excited about the amazing future of AVA!
