AoM: Citadels is the FPS game where players engage in an innovative PvP and PvE extraction-based MMO. Set within the massive megastructure of the Citadel, players must fight for survival, gather resources, and achieve their objectives in a relentless and dynamic environment.
Lore overview
The Fall of Unity: As the world crumbled under economic and societal upheaval, the European Union underwent a radical transformation, leading to the rise of the Eternal Emperor. Empowered by the L.I.F.E implant, he established a new world order, creating deep divisions between the immortal elite and the masses.
Rise of the Revenants: Revenants were born from a rebellion against the Emperor. Cloned from the DNA of legendary warriors and enhanced with cutting-edge technology, these soldiers became the last hope for those resisting the Emperor's rule.
The Citadel: The Citadel was originally built as a bastion of human advancement, overseen by the AI GRIM. However, after a failed revolt, it became a fortress filled with dangers, where only the strongest Revenants dare to venture.
Geopolitical Landscape
The Eternal Emperor's Domain: Under the Eternal Emperor, the European Union transformed into a technocratic dystopia, exerting tight control over both Earth and Ortus.
Syndicates and Corporations: In the shadows of this regime, powerful Syndicates and Corporations emerged. Syndicates, born from rebellion, operate in the shadows, while Corporations control the production of essential resources and technology.
Key Locations
The Citadel: A sprawling vertical fortress that serves as the central battleground in AoM: Citadels. It is a maze of treacherous corridors, abandoned labs, and fortified zones controlled by GRIM.
Ortus: A rugged planet that offers both opportunity and peril. Its landscapes are dotted with colonies, outposts, and the remnants of past conflicts. Ortus is a battleground where Corporations and Syndicates vie for control, particularly in AoM: Empires.
