More On: Into the Stars

Powered by Unreal 4 and featuring music by Jack Wall, you might be tempted to think Into the Stars is some Mass Effect spin off, but it's not.  It's an all-new space sim by Fugitive Games featuring two former DICE leads.  

Specifically, Into the Stars is being called by its makers "an open-world space survival simulation for PC and MAC built in Unreal Engine 4."

Honestly, they had me at "space sim."

If you'd like to make sure it gets finished, you can visit Into the Stars's Kickstarter page.

January 5, 2015 ?? SANTA MONICA, Ca. ????Two former DICE leads, an established art director and a veteran designer from the Battlefield, Lost Planet and Shadows of the Damned games have combined to form Fugitive Games. Their first title, Into the Stars, is an open-world space survival simulation for PC and Mac built in Unreal Engine 4.

WHEN GOING?? INTO THE STARS

Take the role of Captain as you explore a massive solar system in search of a new home for humanity. Outfit your ship, hand pick your crew, and set off on a journey where you must scavenge resources, shelter civilians, and outrun a hostile alien force in order to survive.

Your ship, the Ark 13, is the last to leave our besieged planet, and you are at the helm. But before you set out, some decisions must be made: Which modules will you choose to take with you, and who will manufacture them? What resources will fill your limited cargo holds, and which crew members will you take under your wing?

Once in flight, your responsibilities as captain will push your limits: Monitor the condition of your crew, civilians and modules, ensure a steady flow of resources, and navigate celestial bodies ?? all while evading a pursuing enemy.
