Edge Case Games announces development of Fractured Space, a tactical space
combat game from the creators of Strike Suit Zero. This is planned as an early
access release later this year, and the plan is to launch this as a free-to-play
title early next year. The
Fractured Space
website is already online with concept art and further details, and here's
word:
Edge Case Games, a new British games studio formed from the team
behind Strike Suit Zero, has revealed its debut game: Fractured Space. A bold
new vision in tactical space combat, Fractured Space puts players at the helm of
gigantic capital ships in online, team-based space battles on a cosmic scale.
Edge Case Games has committed to an open development ethic in bringing Fractured
Space to life for PC, working in step with its growing community by sharing
early assets, prototypes and project plans while listening to players every step
of the way. Founding community members are already contributing to the game’s
development as they play and comment on early builds of Fractured Space in
private playtests.
“Fractured Space is an ambitious project we have wanted to do for quite some
time, and we're very excited to now confirm its development,” said James
Brooksby, CEO of Edge Case Games. “Above all else we want to transmit a sense of
scale to the player - the feeling of participating in a massive space battle
inside their own titanic capital ship, blasting apart enemy ships and working
together with other players to achieve a common objective.”
Fractured Space will launch on Steam Early Access later this year, before
transitioning to a free-to-play model upon wider release in 2015. Founders on
Early Access can look forward to a range of perks, including exclusive ships,
crew, boosters and ranks. More information will be revealed in the coming
weeks.
