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.

By joining now, you’ll help shape the future of beyond.frontiers and enjoy the game at a special price that won’t last once the full version is released. Take advantage of this early opportunity to become part of the galaxy before the game reaches its final form!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’re excited to build beyond.frontiers together with you! Throughout Early Access, we’ll be running regular feedback phases and playtests to refine and improve the game based on your experience. You can share your ideas and suggestions through our forums and Discord server, where we’ll actively engage with the community to ensure the game reaches its full potential.

As a special thank you, the most helpful and dedicated contributors will be immortalized with a permanent monument in-game, recognizing their valuable support in shaping the universe of *beyond.frontiers*.”

About This Game

COMMAND YOUR OWN SHIP IN A LIVING GALAXY

beyond.frontiers is a space sandbox about freedom: fast arcade flight, a living economy and a galaxy that keeps moving whether you are watching or not. Trade, explore, fight and build your own place among the stars. Beyond the gate, the frontier is yours.

FLY. FIGHT. DOCK. LAND.

  • Arcade flight, steered with the mouse. Point where you want to go. Switch to a free cursor for menus and map in a single keypress.

  • Dogfights and bounty hunting. Take on pirates, escort traders, and answer distress calls.

  • Jump gates and hyperlanes. Cross sectors through huge ancient gates and ride the lanes between systems.

  • Stations, shipyards and showrooms. Dock, refit, repair, and browse the ship dealer's showroom floor.

A GALAXY THAT TRADES WITHOUT YOU

  • Galaxy-wide economy. Every station keeps its own stock, prices and demand. The whole galaxy is simulated, not just the sector you are in.

  • Traders can be lost. Low-security systems are dangerous. Convoys get raided, goods go missing and shortages ripple outward. Random events keep every route interesting.

  • News that matters. You hear about losses and opportunities nearby, if you stand on good terms with the faction involved.

LAND ON PLANETS AND GO ON FOOT

Leave orbit, enter the atmosphere, land, and step out of your ship.

  • Explore megacities with towering residential blocks. Buildings can be entered, from lobbies to bars and basement parties.

  • Search for underground subway dungeons that run several floors deep.

  • Fight on foot with a growing arsenal of weapons and attachments.

BUILD YOUR FLEET AND YOUR CREW

  • Many different ships from nimble fighters to heavy freighters, built by the factions. Own several and fly one yourself.

  • Hire pilots for the rest. Each has Bravery, Resourcefulness and Navigation ratings and a role as combat pilot, trader, explorer or miner. Better pilots survive longer, but they also ask for a bigger cut.

  • Plan your own FOB. Build a Forward Operating Base where your miners deliver. Defend it. If it falls it can be occupied and retaken, but wait too long and it is gone for good.

  • Run several missions at once and keep track of them on your mission board.

SIX FACTIONS, ONE FRONTIER

Join or oppose the great powers, the Terran Conglomerate, the Sirius Dominion and the Orion Protectorate. Work the neutral territories, deal with the outlaw syndicate, or wait for contact with the enigmatic Shyv'Kahn. Your standing with each faction decides which doors open and which close.

MADE BY HAND, MADE TO LAST

beyond.frontiers is built from scratch with 25 years of Blitz3D experience: a distinct look, a lean engine and a world with character. It comes with a built-in benchmark and community leaderboards, remappable keys and 3D positional sound.
