The game is a dystopian open-world combat flight simulation set in the year 2684, where Earth has been nearly submerged by a great disaster. Survivors live in floating cities and fight over remaining resources. Players join an elite unit of the strongest city-state, piloting a glider called the Skyblade. The open world spans over 12,000 square kilometers, allowing free exploration of outposts, factories, and research facilities. Players can follow the main story or earn income through mining, bounty hunting, racing, and other jobs. The game supports VR for first-person flight. Early Access is planned to last about six months, with price increases as new content is added. The launch price is 3,080 yen (tax included) until July 28, after which it will rise to 3,850 yen. Japanese language is not currently supported. The developers aim to improve performance, controls, and combat based on player feedback.","whyItMatters":"G-Rebels enters Early Access with a distinctive open-world flight sim concept and VR support, but the lack of Japanese language support is a notable omission for a game covered by Japanese gaming press.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe game\u0026#39;s story involves a conspiracy angle.
