What is Seekers of Skyveil?

Seekers of Skyveil combines MOBA-style team fights with the strategic decision-making of extraction games. Matches are treated as “runs,” where players collect resources, gear, and items while managing the risk of being eliminated by enemies. The game uses a WASD control scheme for movement and the mouse for aiming and abilities. Alternative control schemes may be added in future updates.

The innovation that Seekers of Skyveil promises to bring to the table has the potential to be something revolutionary in the genre. While games like Deadlock are already making new strides with the MOBA formula, SoS has dared to take a step further and use the formula in extraction shooters. However, only time can tell if it will succeed.
