About

E-Games originally published Point Blank Philippines under its casual brand X-Play. Its closed beta started on May 18, 2011. A limited commercial launch was held on July 8, 2011, at the Hexagon Lounge at RCBC Plaza in Makati City.[1] The grand launch event was held on August 6, 2011 at the Annex Cyberzone in SM North EDSA, Quezon City.[2]

After E-Games was merged with Level Up!, it continued to operate until it was shut down on June 30, 2014. The publishing rights were continued by Garena Philippines. Player data from the Level Up! server were migrated to the Garena server.

On July 15, 2019, the Garena server was shut down. A new server, managed by the game's developer Zepetto, was opened on July 16, 2019. Player data were not migrated to the new server.[3]
