The Obsidian King Awaits

Every realm has a ruler. In Gambit, it’s the Obsidian King—a living relic of a time when rules were unbreakable, creativity was forbidden, and power meant control.

His forces are precise. Relentless. Cold.
His world is a twisted mirror of tradition—gridded, monochrome, absolute.

This is the realm your factions have been pulled into. This is what you’re up against.

But the King has never faced you.

With asymmetric powers, bold strategies, and co-op synergy, you and your team will challenge his rule—turning the rigidity of Chess into something unexpected: freedom.

“You’ve entered the Gambit. Every move you make… He sees ten ahead.” — Unknown Source, recovered from a partial faction cipher.

The world of Gambit is starting to take shape—but the real game begins July 15.

Stay sharp,
The Gambit Team
