Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Due to the explicit level of player agency in Warped Universe, significant testing needs to be done in the Early Access of Season Zero to fine-tune game balance. Also, with Warped Universe’s unprecedented combination of gameplay, extended balance time is needed to get itemization correct across all gameplay genres.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While the exact duration of our extensive balance pass is uncertain, we estimate that Warped Universe will remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. Season Zero will go through multiple iterations as we refine key systems, including Random Map Systems, Itemization, Stat Balance, and Multiplayer gameplay across all game modes.”

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

“Warped Universe is designed as an ever-evolving ecosystem, where the state of the universe is continually shaped by player choices and actions.
Season Zero marks the beginning of this journey, and the systems and mechanics we explore during Early Access will help guide on-going development. We plan to continually refine and expand Warped Universe through updates, introducing new features and mechanics based on player feedback and ongoing iteration.
With our multi-genre approach to gaming and commitment to player agency, we aim to expand gameplay possibilities over time, offering players even more ways to experience Warped Universe.

With our multi-genre approach to gaming and our commitment to player agency, our ultimate goal is to add more game genres over time, giving players even more choice in how they experience the Warped Universe.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version features a full introductory mission that takes the player through all four gameplay genres, action and turn-based, on the ground and in space and leads the player to a social and mission hub, called Nexus Station. On Nexus Station there is a map system and portal where players can warp to planets to complete various combat and non-combat missions.”

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

“Warped Universe will be free-to-play once the game is out of Early Access.”

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

“We actively monitor and engage on all of our social media pages and hold regular Warped Talk Q+As on Discord and YouTube, where developers share updates and show recent progress, giving the community an opportunity to give direct feedback about anything and everything Warped Universe.

Being a part of the Warped Games Discord channel is the best way for players and community members to get in touch with developers. We’re a global team and always have team members online ready to answer questions and take feedback.”

About This Game

Warped Universe: A Meta-driven Sci-fi Looter Shooter

You deploy onto a planet consumed by the Void. Push through the corruption with your squad, neutralize the threat, secure vital resources.

But here’s the thing - that mission didn’t just help you.

The Residuum your squad obtained just powered a facility on that planet. That facility when completed just gave a permanent buff to every player in the game. Simultaneously, another player exploring a sector discovered a new planet for even more global buffs. And there's hundreds of these objectives to be completed each season.

That’s Warped Universe. A co-op PvE looter shooter where the community drives the entire universe forward together.

Explore. Defend. Upgrade. Empower.

Explore: Discover uncharted sectors and hidden planets.

Defend: Protect hundreds of seasonal objectives from the Void.

Upgrade: Collect Cores and Sparks to evolve your custom Echo Suit.

Empower: Secure facilities to unlock permanent global buffs for everyone.

IF YOU LIKE THESE GAMES, YOU’LL FEEL AT HOME IN OUR UNIVERSE

The co-op PvE loop will feel familiar if you play Helldivers 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Warframe, or Destiny 2. Space flight will feel familiar to those who play Everspace 2 and Star Wars Battlefront. For the fans of tactical games like XCOM 2, Fallout Tactics, and Gears Tactics, we offer the ability to play all missions as turn-based as well as real-time. We took what we love about those games and built something new where everyone matters, and every mission counts towards the seasonal system objectives.

EARLY ACCESS - WHAT’S HERE NOW

Co-op ground combat and space exploration for 1–4 players. Social hub. Planetary facility progression. Seasonal solar system where the community unlocks new planets together. Multiple ways to approach every mission.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

A Shared Destiny

Every mission feeds the bigger picture. Complete objectives, extract Residuum, activate planetary facilities. The buffs don’t just go to your squad. They go to everyone. The more the community plays, the more the solar system opens up. Every facility you finish unlocks a permanent power-up for the entire community.

Play Your Way

Bring your shooter friend. Bring your tactics friend. Bring the friend who just wants to fly through space. Everyone plays the way they want, and it all counts. The solar system expands based on what the community accomplishes together.

Independently Developed

Built by a team of 12 with credits on Jumpgate, Auto Assault, LEGO Universe, and Dragons & Titans. No publisher.

  • Seasonal Content – Expanding solar systems, evolving gameplay, and new challenges every season.

Nexus Station

The Nexus Station is the central hub for players in Warped Universe, functioning as a vibrant social, strategic, and operational base. Within the station, players will find a variety of features that enhance both gameplay and interaction. The real-time 3D solar system map allows players to track planetary progress, monitor operational facilities, and scout for regions of space to expand the Oracle’s reach.

Workstations throughout the station allow players to acquire new equipment, apply cosmetics, and add upgrades to enhance their arsenal in preparation for what lurks beyond.

WHAT’S COMING

Season Zero is just the beginning. We have major gameplay expansions planned that will fundamentally change how you approach every mission. Follow us for reveals.

SEASONAL SOLAR SYSTEMS

In Warped Universe, seasonal gameplay will keep the experience fresh and ever-changing. As players complete missions and collect Residuum, they’ll construct new planets and establish various facilities to unlock technologies, all while defending their creations from the Void’s relentless threat.

Each season introduces new solar systems, missions, and technology to explore with lore updates that bring new environments, combatants, and cosmetics.

SEASON ZERO

This is the beginning. New planets, new enemies, new facilities. Your progress matters. What the community builds in Season Zero shapes everything that comes next.
