Why Realm
Made for custom-map energy
Jump into Arcade chaos or host your own — less lobby waiting, more creating and playing, with tools that keep older maps alive.
-
Multiplayer mayhem
Support for dozens of players in the same match and hundreds of units on screen
-
Instant feel
Server authoritative with local prediction makes de-sync an issue of the past while still maintaining competitive integrity.
-
Self-Hosted
Zero risk of public servers being shutdown and breaking the game
-
Legacy maps still play
Compatibility mode rolls the engine back so older maps keep working when the core updates.
-
AI-assisted creation
Map editor ships with an AI assistant — prompt your way to a working map.
-
Open assets
Share models, textures, and scripts. Remix community work and grow the Arcade together.
Creator suite
Terrain, units, code — live-test as you build
Sculpt maps, place props, edit unit stats, and hot-reload to test. Editor includes an AI agent when you need help.
