Article Summary

  • 1C Game Studios is upgrading Caliber to Caliber+ on January 10, 2024.
  • Caliber+ offers an updated system for faster entry to Ranked Battles.
  • Players can get discounts on Caliber+ by leveling up 35+ operators.
  • Caliber+ introduced a new PvPvE mode, blending action with MOBA elements.

1C Game Studios has announced that the original Caliber will be getting an upgrade in January, as the game will change over to Caliber+. The team-based tactical shooter will essentially be getting an upgrade in several ways, as current players will be allowed to achieve a special account status while new players will step into a totally overhauled system. The new system for the experienced will allow them to play with fully leveled operators, which will quicken the chance of obtaining new operators and their skills. The system has been designed to get into Ranked Battles faster and easier, as well as give permanent access to User Battle creation and provide expanded account statistics. The changes will go into effect on January 10, but there's still time to work with the old system to get some bonuses in the new game, which we have details of below.

Caliber+

Caliber+ will remove the need for leveling from the game, allowing players to focus on the battles. All purchased operators will be at their maximum level. This applies to all operator collections, including future ones. Fans of the game will be able to receive an individual discount for Caliber+. To obtain the discount, players will have to continue playing the base game and fully level up 35 or more operators. The option to purchase Caliber+ at an individual discount will appear in the game client when the conditions are met. The more fully leveled operators a player has, the bigger their discount will be. Caliber veterans who are fast enough to upgrade 72 operators (including recruits) before maintenance on January 10, 2024, will get a temporary offer to upgrade to Caliber+ for free. Check the article on the project's official site for more info.

"The game has undergone many changes over the last year. With the release of Caliber+, we are putting an alternative version on the market — one that is much closer to a classic, complete in-box product than a free-to-play game," stated Caliber producer Alexey Komarov. "With this release, we are adapting the hybrid monetization system. Now, it is up to the players: they can continue using the familiar free-to-play system with a quite lengthy, yet free, leveling system, or get Caliber+ and instantly get operators at their max levels. But monetization isn't the only important change made to the game. This year, we introduced the new PvPvE mode, Threshold, which has basically introduced a new genre to Caliber. We call it Action/MOBA. It is quite close to a MOBA game, but there are weapons and no elves."
