X8 is a hero-based VR multiplayer shooter

In X8, you personify one of many unique Video Game heroes that have been brought together to face off against other heroes, all set within a video-game realm.

Each of these characters heralds from their own unique game franchises, but have been pulled back to an ancestor version of their shared engines, where they must now fight to restore a path back to their respective realms.

Our heroes soon learn of the splintered worlds outside their own, the various realities spawned from the ancestor game engine; the purpose of their congruence, and the entity and motive responsible.
