And there's an extra twist: Players are able to hack the zombies, transforming groups of them into weapons for a minute at a time. Synced supports 20-minute matches with 16 teams of three players each, plus 1,500 Nanos that spill onto the map in AI-driven bursts. The goal is to get off the planet, as the title suggests. But Synced isn't simply about survival - there's a time limit on each round, and the win ultimately goes to whichever team claims a solitary airship. Next describes Synced as a 'PvPvE and co-op' game, meaning players team up to battle other people, and slaughter hordes of AI-driven zombies known as Nanos. That's something that in any other games we haven't really seen before.' 'But to be honest, having so many players - we have 48 players in a round and 1,500 AI zombies in the same place. 'You can argue it looks like World War Z and The Division,' Next creative director Clark Jiayang Yang said the day after Synced's reveal. Some comments wrote off the game as a cheap clone, while others were intrigued by the idea of a new, yet familiar-looking shooter.

When Tencent Next Studios debuted the game at NVIDIA's Gamescom 2019 press conference, social media lit up with comparisons to these existing franchises. At first glance, Synced: Off-Planet looks like a battle-royale blend of Left 4 Dead, The Division and World War Z.
