NC unveils Like or Die, survival action game with block-building twist

NC unveils Like or Die, a fresh take on the competitive survival action genre with a block-building twist. The game, developed by studio NC, is a team-based first-person experience set in the futuristic world of Quaya Stream, a large interstellar broadcasting hub.

Players take on the roles of content creators and streamers, competing against other squads in high-stakes, elimination matches that are broadcast live to a virtual audience across galaxies.

Two cinematic trailers and gameplay footage showcased the game's core mechanics and competitive loop, highlighting the unique blend of survival action, team cooperation, and strategic block-building.
