AtomicTorch Studio reveals plans for VoidExpanse, a sandbox action/RPG set in the expansive void of outer space coming to Windows PCs early next year. The AtomicTorch Studio website has updates from the past couple of months tracking the game's development, saying that they are now prepared to share their progress with the world, having passed their first major milestone. Here's a rundown on the project:

With robust skill-trees, multiple factions with their own agendas, and extensive customization of your ships, VoidExpanse allows you to truly shape your journey to defeat the alien threat and restore the galaxy. Will you be the stalwart savior of humankind, the opportunist playing every angle for financial gain, or the down-and-dirty renegade?

A single-player campaign with a masterfully crafted story of open-exploration and difficult choices is only a small portion of VoidExpanse. With moddable sandbox modes, you can create your own procedurally generated galaxy to discover, and create persistent multiplayer worlds to band with other players – or destroy them.
