What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that releasing beyond.frontiers in Early Access allows us to take the necessary time to refine and expand the game, while also gathering vital feedback from the community. Your input will help us improve the gameplay experience and deliver the best version of the game possible. We aim to use this period to make the game the best it can be, ensuring a polished and immersive experience at full launch.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the Early Access phase to last under a year. During this time, we plan to add new features, refine existing systems, and improve overall gameplay. Our goal is to complete all planned content and enhancements within this timeframe, ensuring that the full version of *beyond.frontiers* delivers on its full potential.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access phase is just the beginning! We're excited to reveal our future plans that aims to elevate your experience even further. As we work towards the full release, here's a glimpse of what we want to add during this period:

Station Building: Build and manage your own station in the frontier regions, forming new trading hubs, military outposts, or mining operations.
Refined Economy System: A dynamic and evolving economy, with prices and demand shifting based on player actions, NPC interactions, and in-game events.
New Ships & Bases: Expand your fleet with more specialized ships, from nimble fighters to colossal freighters, as well as new and diverse bases to explore.
Fully Voiced Storylines: Immerse yourself in an epic journey with fully voiced campaigns, featuring deep narratives and unforgettable characters.

Stay tuned as we work together to shape the galaxy of beyond.frontiers!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As we enter Early Access, *beyond.frontiers* is already filled with features to explore and enjoy. Here’s what’s currently available:

Over 20 ships ready to be piloted, from light scouts to heavy freighters and combat ships.
Engage in epic battles in battlefield sectors, with intense trading, looting, mining, and fighting mechanics already implemented.
Explore numerous sectors with varying environments and challenges, filled with opportunities for traders, miners, and warriors alike.
A dynamic trading system allows you to buy and sell goods as you travel between stations and sectors.

However, some of the planned content is still on the way:

The major storylines are yet to be introduced, bringing fully voiced campaigns that will dive deep into the lore of the galaxy.
Station building mechanics, letting you create and manage your own stations, are still under development.
Customizable paintjobs for your ships to make your fleet truly unique.
The full multiplayer infrastructure is being worked on, allowing for cooperative and competitive play in the near future.

We’re excited for you to dive in and join us on this journey as we bring more content to life!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During the Early Access phase of *beyond.frontiers*, we’re offering the game at a reduced price, making it 33% lower than the planned final release price. This lower price is our way of saying thank you for supporting the game while it’s still in development.

About This Game

Trade. Discover. Conquer.

Embark on a journey through the boundless depths of space in beyond.frontiers, an immersive open-world space adventure where your choices shape the fate of the galaxy. As a daring explorer, you'll traverse the uncharted regions of the frontier, balancing alliances, uncovering long-buried secrets, and carving out your own destiny across three rival empires — while whispers of a mysterious new faction loom on the horizon.

A Living Universe, Yours to Shape

Venture into over 100 handcrafted star systems filled with hidden wormholes, forgotten ruins, and dynamic events. Every decision influences the universe around you — from the balance of power between factions to the shifting supply and demand of the completely dynamic economy.

The frontier is alive — factions expand, conflicts ignite, and new opportunities arise as the story unfolds. Whether you're a trader seeking fortune, a mercenary hired for perilous missions, or an explorer chasing ancient secrets, the galaxy adapts to your journey.

Three Dominant Factions — Infinite Possibilities

Align yourself with one of three distinct empires, each with its own vision for the frontier:

- The Terran Conglomerate: Profit is power. As the hypercapitalistic rulers of the largest empire, the Conglomerate rewards those who thrive in trade and wealth accumulation — but their loyalty follows credits, not morals.
- Sirius Dominion: Freedom above all. The Sirians foster democracy and camaraderie, yet their borders are under constant threat from pirates and forgotten routes. Stand with those who value loyalty, even at the edge of chaos.
- Orionic Council: Knowledge is strength. Once a lost Terran colony, the Orionics rebuilt their society on progress and meritocracy. Prove your intellect and rise through their ranks to unlock experimental technologies and shape the future.

But not all powers in the galaxy have revealed themselves — ancient stories speak of those who watched from the shadows, waiting for their time to return.

Pilot the Ship of Your Dreams

Choose from over 30 meticulously crafted ships — from nimble explorers to massive capital vessels. Customize your ship with weapons, defensive systems, cargo holds, and advanced tech.
Speed through asteroid fields in the versatile Starlight, command the resourceful Demeter freighter across trade routes, engage in fleet battles aboard a fully armed Condor weapons platform or toy around in a Boilt-Class racing ship. Salvage wreckage, mine rare materials, conquer sectors, trade yourself to a millionaire or find cosmic anomalies — the choice is yours.

Immersive Storylines — Fully Voiced

With over 20 hours of fully voiced narrative content, beyond.frontiers invites you into a universe rich with stories, both grand and intimate.

Walk in the footsteps of the legendary James P. Burnard (voiced by Twitch streamer Pelikano), the immortal Wanderer seeking redemption across the stars. Aid forbidden lovers torn between warring factions. Discover ancient stellar remnants lost to time. Lead your chosen empire to expansion — or sabotage its ambitions from within. Uncover clues of a hidden power waiting to reshape the frontier.

Every station offers procedurally generated missions — from bounty hunts to defense contracts — alongside whispers of hidden events and rumors that may unveil entire new storylines.

A Moddable Universe Without Limits

From new ships to entirely custom sectors, beyond.frontiers is built with moddability in mind. Expand the universe with community creations or craft your own vision — every part of the game is open to your imagination.

Key Features:

Open-world galaxy with over 100 systems and hidden sectors
Three major factions with unique philosophies and storylines
Over 30 pilotable ships ranging from fighters to battleships
Dynamic economy driven by supply, demand, and player actions
Station building and trading systems
Multiverse Chat & Community Events
Over 20 hours of fully voice-acted story campaigns

A vibrant universe filled with secrets, easter eggs, and lore waiting to be discovered

Your Frontier Awaits

Explore forgotten systems, outsmart your enemies, and leave your mark on the edge of known space. Whether you're chasing fortune, power, or truth — the frontiers are calling.
