Free Stars: Children Of Infinity

Free Stars: Children of Infinity is a direct sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters — the sci-fi cult classic that's been titled "one of the greatest games of all time" and inspired countless other creators in the video game industry, including the visionaries behind celebrated space games such as Mass Effect, No Man's Sky, and Stellaris.  Set three years after the defeat of the Ur-Quan hierarchy and its Sa-Matra battle platform, a new discovery draws the captain into an old mystery. Hope and conflict continue to be at odds in the universe, and a new threat surfaces that may change everything.

As the newest captain in the Alliance of Free Stars, players will load up their starmap and explore a massive, living universe with hundreds of star systems and thousands of planets. As they navigate these many worlds, they'll meet alien species whom they can befriend (or offend due to their human ignorance), uncover untold aspects of the story with each new discovery, and collect resources to upgrade their starships and fleets. Players needn't face the various hazards and creatures of the galaxy alone; Free Stars: Children of Infinity will support online cooperative play among friends, plus competitive PvP Super Melee matches.
