We are happy to announce that New State Mobile will go through a considerable change.

The new February Update will feature a new mode, new map, and more.

For details, check out our patch notes below!

New Mode: NEW ERA

  • What's NEW ERA?
    • NEW ERA is a character-based Battle Royale where players get to play with characters that have stylish passive and active skills.
    • All characters in this map are equipped with jetpacks, which enable dynamic and fast-paced traversal. Also, players will be able to kill enemies more easily with enhanced aim assist.
    • NEW ERA takes place in a new 1 x 1km map called JETA, which grants players a dynamic, brutal combat experience.
    • Jeta Boxes, which are placed throughout the map, will provide players with a massive arsenal of items all at once.
    • Matches will be short to provide players with less pressure. Also, we revamped the UI and controls in order to make it easier for new players to enjoy the game while controlling even with two fingers.
    • Every player, regardless of their tier, will be able to play this mode, which is fixed to be always Squad & TPP.

NEW ERA: JETA

  • New Map, JETA
    • The new map, JETA is a 1 x 1km map that consists of a bustling dock and cozy streets. This Battle Royale map has been created solely to provide a battlefield for NEW ERA.
      • In JETA, NEW ERA Battle Royale rules will be applied.
      • Unlike previous Battle Royale maps in New State, you are most likely to engage your enemies in short or mid-range combat in JETA.
      • Players will have more encounters due to the walls placed throughout the map, which enable more frequent and fast-paced combat.
      • Note that there are no vehicles in JETA.
