Rescue Helicopter: The goal is to board the rescue helicopter, which opens new strategic possibilities in the battle royale genre.
Convincing Natural Disaster: Highly detailed presentation of a snowstorm will provide the ultimate survival experience. The game world will change dynamically as the disaster progresses.
