Several members of Born Ready Games, the studio behind the space sim Strike Suit Zero, have come together to form a new company called Edge Case Games. Their first major project is another space odyssey called Fractured Space, and it will be ready for Steam Early Access later this year.
As the team describes the game:
Fractured Space is a multiplayer, team-based space combat game putting you at the helm of colossal capital ships. Each multiplayer match offers an intense team battle, rife with deadly exchanges between craft but underpinned by a grander strategy. Take advantage of your ship’s unique abilities and weapons to exploit your enemy’s weakness, take control of the map and work together to eviscerate your opponents. With the moment-to-moment intensity of a shooter, but driven by the bigger-picture thinking of a strategy game, Fractured Space is at the forefront of a new frontier for the genre.
You'll be able to register for early playtests by signing up here. After the Early Access period, the game will officially launch next year using a free-to-play model. Meanwhile, check out a couple of developer diaries from before Fractured Space was formally announced.
