The Calling

The Calling is an anime-inspired, team-versus-team third-person shooter set in a galaxy where annual competitive war games have replaced war. The Intergalactic Gaming Commission runs the games, and the galaxy’s best competitors, backed by Mega Corporations, fight for fame and fortune while a new war brews behind the scenes. You choose from a roster of over 90 playable creators, voiced by the streamers themselves, and battle alongside your team.

Choose your abilities

Each character can be played with a mix of passive, active and ultimate abilities that you select to suit your style and support your team. Shadow Step and AOE Healing are currently available and equipped by default. You can also thwart enemies by dashing, sprinting, vaulting, sliding and gliding around the battlefield.

Maps and modes

The game includes multi-layered maps and several ways to fight: Team Elimination, Control and Lockdown. Maps are designed with routes that let opponents get behind defensive positions, including routes around sniper perches, so you need to keep moving and think tactically to survive.

Changing conditions

Conditions can shift during a round, from day to night and sunny to overcast or foggy. Rain, thunderstorms, shooting stars and meteor showers can also occur, adding challenges that may call for different tactics.

Characters and cosmetics

The roster features over 90 streamers, with every character voiced by their real-life counterpart. The game also features voice acting by professional actors who have appeared in games such as Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and Strinova, and anime including Apothecary Diaries, Spy X Family and Wistoria: Wand and Sword. Character skins and other cosmetics can be unlocked with in-game currency earned through daily redeems, matches, quests and watching featured streamers; the currency cannot be purchased. You can also buy a specific skin directly, with the purchase supporting the streamer it is based on.
