TRIBES 3: Rivals (Starsiege: Tribes 2024) is an upcoming first-person shooter from Prophecy Games, a subsidiary of Hi-Rez Studios, for Microsoft Windows, as part of the Tribes series. Aspects from previous Tribes games, such as jetpacks and skiing are featured in the game. Additionally, elements from Tribes: Ascend, including perks, weapons, and packs, have returned. Elements from Starsiege: Raiders have been included as well. Based on the name, it is possible that the game will take place in the same timeline as Tribes: Vengeance which is generally referred to as Tribes 3, or Prophecy Games is not aware that T:V is T3 and they are just making a new game.

History

The game was announced on the loading screen for the alpha of Starsiege: Deadzone on May 12, 2023. On November 22, 2023, a "Tribes 3: Rivals Playtest" was created on Steam[1]. A few days later on November 27, 2023, registration was opened for the alpha playtest. Two days later, an official Steam page was created for the game[2].

Main article: Tribes 3: Rivals/Classes

Tribes 3: Rivals features a class-based loadout system similar to Tribes: Ascend, featuring only three classes, light, medium, and heavy. Each loadout specifies what type of armor the player has, along with what weapons and items they carry. Each loadout supports three in-hand weapons, one belt item such as grenades or mines, and a pack. Prophecy Games has not announced if there are any plans to sell cosmetic items such as player skins.

Game Modes and Maps

There is currently 1 game mode, Capture the Flag, compared to Tribes: Ascend's previous 5 game modes. Currently, Capture the Flag is limited to 5v5 with support for 64 man servers planned in the future.

Custom Matches and Content

While dedicated or private servers are unlikely, custom matches will be supported as they eventually were in Tribes: Ascend. Users will be able to create custom matches that offer different team sizes and weapon loadouts, custom modes that alter the game’s core physics such as gravity and player speed. Unlike in Tribes: Ascend, custom content will be supported, allowing users to generate their own content such as customized maps and environments.
