Like or Die is a familiar-looking competitive FPS from South Korea's NC, but with a twist - aliens are watching you on stream.
The short version
- Like or Die is an upcoming FPS game from Korean developer NC, revealed for the first time during Gamescom 2026's Opening Night Live showcase.
- My first thought was that it looks a lot like Embark Studios' The Finals — from the environmental destruction and the abilities on show, such as zip lines and jump pads, to the fact players explode into pixelated cubes.
- It certainly wears its inspiration on its sleeve, that's for sure.
What happened
Another similarity is that in The Finals , you're fighting in an arena on behalf of sponsors, with a colossal audience watching from afar. Meanwhile, the premise of Like or Die is that you're streaming your matches, with the goal of getting the most likes on a platform known as Quaya.
Why it matters
Also watching the stream are potential sponsors.
