We are thrilled to announce that we have received an Epic MegaGrant from Epic Games for Project Xandata, the first-ever Filipino-made competitive first-person shooter (FPS) game powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine.

"Unreal Engine was a key part in bringing Project Xandata to life. We don’t think anything out there matches Unreal when it comes to building first-person shooters,” said Gene Gacho, creator of Project Xandata and Technical Director at Secret 6.

Launched in 2019, Epic MegaGrants is a $100 million program designed by Epic Games to support game developers, animators, enterprise professionals, creators, students, and educators creating amazing things with Unreal Engine or enhancing open-source capabilities for the 3D graphics community.

We are grateful to receive this support from Epic Games and we are honored to be adding a homegrown, Filipino-made title to the Epic MegaGrants community.

Once again, thank you Epic Games and Unreal Engine for recognizing Project Xandata! This support helped our development efforts, supporting our quest towards bringing this high-octane 3v3 FPS to life!

See you on the battlefield, Xandats!

Play Project Xandata now available in Early Access on Steam.
