About this game
From Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering, comes Chaos Agents, the world’s first Autobattler-Royale. Command one-of-a-kind Agents, outthink rivals, and fight for victory in fast, high-stakes matches where every upgrade, every choice, and every round can change everything.
Wishlist Chaos Agents now to stay first in line for playtests, updates, and the chance to discover your next legendary Agent.
Every Agent in Chaos Agents is truly one of one, and only one player can command that Agent at a time. Discover rare talent, master unique playstyles, trade valuable Agents, and build your Brokerage House into a feared name across the Firmament.
You are the world’s leading expert on your Agents: no one else can tell you how to play them.
There is no single path to victory. Become the Brawlmaster by earning the most KOs, dominate as the Shardmaster by securing the most resources, or outlast the field to claim victory as the Survivalist. Specialize in one path, or push for greatness across all three.
Seize Shard-rich zones before anyone else, or dive straight into the fighting, and start hunting KOs from the opening seconds. Your first moves can define the entire match, opening the door to aggressive plays, clever pivots, and dramatic comebacks.
You have 30 seconds between rounds to evolve your Agent and reshape your strategy. Stack power, chase resources, or build to survive the chaos. Become an unstoppable Brawler, a greedy Collector, or a slippery Survivalist built to outlast the field.
When the round begins, your Agent takes over—executing your strategy in real time, adapting on the fly, and turning your choices into explosive combat. Every fight is packed with wild swings, clutch escapes, brutal KOs, and the possibility that one smart build choice changes the entire match..
Every Agent in Chaos Agents is truly one of one and can only belong to a single player at any given time. Assemble a roster of elite competitors, trade valuable Agents with allies, or profit on the marketplace as you build your Brokerage House into a legendary name. Discover powerful Agents and carve your legacy into the Arena.
Play solo, team up, or fight for something bigger. Battle rival Agents and AI-controlled Xandrians, compete for your own Brokerage House, or join an Accord where coordination, rivalry, and shared victories shape the standings and the future of the competition. "Shape the world. Shape the meta. Shape the story." — Inverse

We’re especially excited to get our new players up to speed and into the loop as we build toward the next season of Accord Wars.

Chaos Agents Patch 1.9.4.4: Team Play is Here!
A huge new update has landed, bringing some of the biggest changes to Chaos Agents yet.TEAM PLAY IS HERE.Team up with other Brokers, coordinate your drops, share objectives, and battle opposing teams. Teammates won’t attack one another but coordination will be needed to ensure your team doesn’t overextend itself. This is a very early version of Team play - we have lots of improvements to come. In this mode, you’ll join the match as normal, and when your Agent beams down they’ll be sorted into a team.Once the match starts, you’ll see a new version of the leaderboard where your team is aggregated together. Winning Brawlmaster isn’t an individual task anymore, it’s a shared team responsibility. Every Shard or KO helps your team. Surviving is now also focused on the team. Even if a single member of your team is the last survivor the team as a whole wins! 12-PLAYER MATCHES ARE NOW THE DEFAULT.Quick Matches, Trials, and Practice Matches are bigger than ever. Every match is now default 12 player matches. Bigger matches with more opportunities for exciting finishes.Additionally, we’ve implemented a large set of behavioral and pathing changes:You can now view skill maps in the lobby, allowing you to scout out your opponentsXandrians should be significantly less dogged in their pursuit of battleAgents no longer momentarily freeze in place after firing attacks or losing a race to collect a Shard - they’ll instead immediately continue their strategyAgents now weight enemy strategies when making flee decisions and will prioritize escaping from enemies on attackAgents should now more naturally slide along walls instead of being pinned or stuck at map edgesAgents on Survive with no enemies in vision will attempt to collect Shards instead of standing still - if they see an enemy, they will resume fleeingAnd More....AGENTS NOW OWN THEIR TRIAL REWARDS.From now on, when an Agent wins a ticket or medal in a Trial, that ticket and medal will be assigned to the Agent.
