Completely NEW Space Games - Coming In 2025

[@kdog3908]

I want Falling Frontier so bad. However, I want them to take their time and make it awesome, even more.

[@buk1237]

I've had it on my wishlist since 2021!

[@Scimarad]

The familiar feeling of getting excited for something and then hearing the words "This is a multiplayer game..."

[@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Exact opposite for me. The empty "sandbox" games are just that, empty. For some reason they're almost always single player. What's worse than being in a boring empty game? Being in a boring empty game by yourself.

[@slaphead90]

@@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Which is pretty much how most niche indie multiplayer game are - empty. Not even single player content to keep you interested.

[@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@slaphead90 That's objectively untrue because in multiplayer games the multiplayer IS the content. Multiplayer with good progression loops will always be better than single player. They have constant revenue stream and staying power. Something single player games don't have outside of a tiny handful of outliers.

[@slaphead90]

@@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa And that only works if there are actually other players.

[@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@slaphead90 all the more reason to actually make a good game then huh?

[@Cramblit]

Falling Frontier, and Era One look awesome

[@NoTimeLeft_]

Aiming for 2026. These games look amazing. I hope NTL can match this level of awesomeness.

Space Engineers 2 early access release announcement is occurring tomorrow (Dec 19). I’m hoping the announcement is actually when it’s going to drop. The gameplay I’ve seen so far looks ready to test out.

[@Elwaves2925]

It's definitely one I'm interested in, as long as it solves the main problem I had with the first one.

[@Bruh-zx2mc]

@@Elwaves2925 What *is* Space Engineers 2 doing differently? My biggest gripe with their marketing is that it just looks like they're selling the first game again, but slightly shinier. I've not yet seen anything from Keen actually explaining what SE2 does differently.

[@lordflashheart3680]

@@Bruh-zx2mc i can’t speak to gameplay but so far I’ve seen: a brand new game engine, a new physics engine, scalable universal gridding and a new building system. Volumetric flowing water on planets and of course it will be multiplayer. I haven’t seen any discussions on PvE or challenges, etc. yet so I’ve no idea what that will look like. Very early days still.

[@Elwaves2925]

@@Bruh-zx2mc I don't know what they're doing differently, aside from what the OP says above but that's why I'm keeping an eye on it - to find out. What I want is a proper sandbox mode. I love building in games but the one in the first game was so annoying as you were constantly attacked. If there was a way to disable that I never found it.

[@MikhailFedotov]

The first one looks interesting. But can't judge the game only by seeing a cinematic trailer. So, I wonder what kind of game it will be.

[@CanadianFabe]

if only more people had that attitude

[@Bruh-zx2mc]

>Cinematic >Not gameplay footage >Open world MMO Yeah this is going in the big budget crap pile.

[@Tbonethe1nfinite]

@@Bruh-zx2mc Exactly. Whenever I see a cinematic trailer I just cringe. Focus on *actual* gameplay, not false advertising... it's so stupid.

[@oriwan3786]

Lets see which Titel really is going to be released, so many cancelled sci fi space games, my expectations are really low. Btw what happened to Falling Frontier?

[@Buchnerd_Souly]

Also a DLC for Star Valor has been announced, it will feature Base Building in the game :)

[@saintuk70]

nice one..

[@copperqwaser2468]

Hoping for space games that are not rts

[@dvsteve71]

Space Engineers 2 live stream tomorrow... not on the list?

[@Driahva]

"Unified game world" bah. Verse looks interesting but I'm already turned away from it just by that. Here's hoping for a dedicated server or at least solo/coop mode.

[@andrewshandle]

The single, shared universe in shared Verse Project is a _massive_ red flag. Unless the player base is going to be like 200 concurrent players, a modern space game will it be unable to pull this off without massive restrictions (like restricting who can go where due to where other players are located) and enormous costs on the backend. This will be so easy to break if they attempt to release the game with a single shared universe.

[@danburycollins]

Wait... Was that a dragon in remnant protocol? You can't just show us a dragon and not explain..? 😂

[@billbaggins1688]

Are any in VR?

[@hamishdundee385]

Biggest question... how many are full VR?

[@slaphead90]

I'm laughing your comment, not because I want to be disparaging, but only because I'm fully aware that devs are simply not interested in VR anymore. I'm sure you've heard of these, but I'm going to list them anyway - House of the Dying Sun, Rogue Stargun, Lunar Flight, Battlegroup VR, and if you can deal with pure atmospheric flight then VTOL VR is probably the best VR game in existence.

[@csfelfoldi]

@@slaphead90 VR used to cost an arm and a leg. Hence the low interest in a small market, but the newer ones are becoming more reasonable in price so I'd say give it 5 years and every other game will have VR support.

[@poolhallshark]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@csfelfoldi]

Verse project just looks like another one of those Unreal asset fakes, I wouldn't hold it in much regard.

[@kromkake666]

Total scam

[@Scroll_Lock]

Verse project looks to be promising way too much. Another money maker that never produces anything but a series of minimally playable demos? One massive universe with no loading screens? Wishful concepts shouldn't make it as far as they do but you can make money off of them. Gaming is incredibly more profitable than cinema and I've been watching both nosedive for a while now.

[@slaphead90]

I don't want to be impolite here, because obviously this isn't your fault, but I'd be curious to know out of all the "upcoming" games you've previewed over the last two or three years have actually been released? I'm still waiting for Falling Frontier, originally to be released at the end of '22, and then '23, and then '24, and now simply coming soon - a perfect example of total vapourware. I think a lot of devs in this space really need to think about when they announce a game. Getting people excited about a game only works if that game is two or three months from release. Any longer then people will forget about it, and when released, if it ever is, it'll meet very poor sales.

[@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

We need games that focus on ground combat, space combat and community created stories that is all played in multiplayer. When is this game going to come out? And no, I don't mean Star Citizen I mean a real game. Not a tech demo designed to sell ship PNGs and engine licensing. All I want is a game that I can pilot a ship and go down to planets to do missions that feels like it could be out of Star Trek. Is that too much to ask? All these companies could do it but no one does. Makes no sense.

[@danceswithsheep3058]

I agree except for multiplayer which of course precludes community stories.

[@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@danceswithsheep3058 multiplayer makes games have staying power. It could even just be co-op.

[@HypePerformanceGroup]

Oh brother. Just spend the $40 to play Star Citizen, they’re going to make $ with or without you and nobody has a made a space game even close to Star Citizen.

[@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

@@HypePerformanceGroup Did you not read the whole comment? Star Citizen isn't a game. It's a tech demo.
