'''''Shockpoint''''' is an upcoming [[first-person shooter]] [[video game|game]] developed and published by [[SOI Studios]]. Described as a new franchise from the creators of ''ShooterofIO'' and ''Dark Warfare'', the game is set during a near-future global conflict and emphasizes urban combat, environmental destruction, and asymmetric multiplayer squads.<ref name="ShockpointReveal" /> It will feature a narrative-driven campaign, competitive multiplayer, and a new "Survival Arena" mode blending [[artificial intelligence in video games|AI]] and human opponents.<ref name="ShockpointReveal" />

According to SOI Studios, ''Shockpoint'' introduces a "Dynamic Engagement System" in which maps evolve in real time as battles escalate. Bridges collapse, buildings crumble, and chokepoints open or close depending on how players fight.<ref name="ShockpointReveal" /> Weapon customization focuses on streamlined, meaningful attachments rather than extensive loadout menus. Movement will be faster and more vertical compared to SOI’s prior shooters, incorporating grapples, wall-kicks, and sliding vaults.<ref name="ShockpointReveal" />

The game will feature three primary modes: a single-player campaign, a competitive multiplayer suite, and the cooperative "Survival Arena". The Survival Arena pits squads against escalating threats that combine both AI-controlled enemies and real human players.<ref name="ShockpointReveal" />
