Blackstar Chronicles revealed

New MMO combines space and planet-based battles.

 

Blackstar Chronicles is an MMO in development at Spacetime Studios which is combining space combat with planet-based battles. Make of that what you will.

 

The studio, which consists of developers that have previously worked on Wing Commander, Privateer, and Star Wars: Galaxies, describes Blackstar Chronicles as the single-player traditions of Wing Commander merging with the multiplayer feel of Descent.

 

"Set in the far future, Blackstar is a fresh universe full of wildly original space fighters, horrifying demonic enemies and epic drama", it adds, Spacetime Studios art director and co-founder Jake Rodgers calling Blackstar Chronicles "a very powerful product".

 

The developer's merging sci-fi and fantasy genres in its game, and promises that both space and planet-based combat will be real-time. So potentially a bit like Tabula Rasa then but with dogfighting in the stars.

 

 

 

Fly your spaceship to exotic locations, blasting through cunning enemies and dreadful space creatures.

 

 

 

Leave your ship and take up the quest, exploring mysterious planets, derelict space stations, and force your way onto enemy ships.

 

 

 

Live as one of four races, ranging from heroic humans and beautiful aliens to warrior robots and undead horrors in an epic science-fantasy universe where advanced technology clashes with ancient demonic power.

 

 

 

• A new breed of game, Blackstar resurrects the dream of online space combat with real-time spaceflight featuring fast and nimble fighter-craft loaded with devastating sci-fi weapons.
