ATHENA is a ruthless, immersive first person tactical shooter set during the final days of a broken America, fractured by civil unrest, rotting institutions, and a rogue AI superweapon originally built to protect humanity that is now erasing it. You play as callum adler, a battleworn Marine operative caught in a brutal civil war, uncovering government conspiracies, covert operations, and the fallout of the ATHENA AI superweapon.
The game features:
A deep, choice driven narrative where every decision impacts the world and characters
Brutal, realistic combat: limbs can be crippled, cover shatters, AI flanks and adapts
A 7+ hour fully voice acted campaign
Multiple modes: VR campaign, Zombies, PvE co-op PvP modding tools, sandbox systems, riot suppression missions, and more.
Cross-platform support: PC, VR (Quest 3 and beyond), modern consoles.

We want to share an important update about our studio’s current projects, including ATHENA and a new game called Grid Protocol.
Unfortunately, development on ATHENA is currently paused. The project’s scope is very ambitious and complex, and combined with funding challenges and team burnout, we are taking time to regroup. While we had hoped for a summer release, that will not be possible. ATHENA is not cancelled we remain committed to finishing it, but we need time to refocus and secure resources.
What’s Next for ZeroForm Interactive?
While ATHENA is on hold, our primary focus will shift to completing Grid Protocol. This project will help sustain our studio financially and creatively, allowing us to continue developing quality games for our community. (For more info on this join our discord, its a stealth horror shooter game for flatscreen.)
We will provide updates as soon as we have new information
