Moros Protocol News

Venturing to deep space? Unsure of what you'll find out there? Then don't go unprotected! Here at Ares Incorperated, we believe that an Orphean's best friend is his weapon. Don't be caught by alien infectants with your pants down, carry an Ares Inc. weapon today!

Good day, Orpheans!

Let's chat about one of the most integral parts of Moros Protocol, your arsenal. Weaponry is everywhere on the Orpheus. From swords, shotguns and shocking pistols!

[h2] WEAPONS [/h2]
Weaponry throughout Moros Protocol ranges from explosive, to electrical, to slashing and more! In these dev diaries, we're going to explore some of the weapons you will find in upcoming playtests and tease some weapons of the future.

[h3]Charging Thunder ⚔️[/h3]

This trusty melee weapon is the first thing you will pick up in Moros Protocol. It is the only thing that will protect you when you play the game for the first time! A standard crew vibro-blade replete with a nano-sharpened edge that can charge to increment its damage output.

[h3]Master Enforcer 🔫[/h3]

Developed as standard issue for crews expecting to require above average firepower, this reliable handgun comes with nano-enhanced ordnance to avoid weapon jamming and lower recoil.

[h3]Nano Ravid 🔫[/h3]

A sleek rifle designed for the upper echelons of command, it blends high tech nano-polymer ordnance with elegance in looks. Fueled by a high-pressure plasma canister, it allows 20 shots per reload.

[h2] AUGMENTS [/h2]
Weapons aren't the end! Augments can be found all throughout the ship. These enhancements can be attached to your armour or your weapon to give it a boost. Here are a few examples!

[h3]Health Modifiers ⬆️[/h3]

Increase your Max HP with these augments, each more powerful than the last. You have Kevlar Padding, Armor Padding and even a Torso Exoskeleton.

[h3]Stamina Modifiers ⬆️[/h3]

You'll need to stay steady and quick on your feet if you want a chance to defeat the Darkphage. Picking up augments that increase your max stamina means you'll never be caught off guard. These include Adrenaline Control, Muscle Fibers and Joint Actuators.

[h3]Additional Jump ⬆️[/h3]

Finally, there's plenty of platforms around the Orpheus. Gaining the high ground doesn't mean it's over, Orphean. However, with an augment like Antigravity Push, you can climb almost anything.

You will be able to find all of these weapons and more in the upcoming playtest this weekend (starting 11th of April). Be sure to sign up once it goes like at 4pm BST.

The monster stood in a pool of blood. Not a drop was his. Death followed wherever he went. For all the horrors that he was, he was nothing compared to what came after.

Here's your mission brief, Orphean.

Starting on the 11th of April, we plan to have our first playtest. You'll be able to play through the introduction of the game with plenty of weapons and augments.

The first boss you'll face in your playthrough is one of the Darkphage's most vicious soldiers, Big Brother. Do you have the skills to defeat this monster?

The hardest thing about Deep Space? Sometimes you hear a creak or a snap in a random part of the ship, and the only person you have to blame is an engineer a million miles away. That and the constant barrage of alien lifeforms trying to rip you apart.

Good day, Orpheans!

Thank you for all your support throughout our recent update. We're so excited to finally bring Moros Protocol in 2025. There's so much to talk about while we build to the final version of the game... so, we plan to do weekly dev diaries every single Thursday! This means you'll get insights into development and leave suggestions to help us shape Moros Protocol into the deep space boomer shooter of your dreams.

Today, we're going to talk about the team behind the game, Pixel Reign.



The studio was founded in 2018, however, Nick Larin the founder has been working on games since 1999. Nick worked as developer for "Darkfall 2: The Unholy Wars". He then worked on many mobile games (most of them not online anymore). Pixel Reign started with the creation of a game named Robbie Swifthand. They collaborated with a Greek mobile studio to make Neonverse. After that, tons of mobile games again as B2B (dark times) while slowly starting the Darkverse project.



Darkverse was a personal project Nick worked on 2009-2011, A 2.5d spaceship game which was never finished. You can watch some footage from the original game here!

But the story and world were fleshed out, so the team decided to create a game in the same universe as a prologue to that game. That's how Darkverse: Rogue came to be, which is now Moros Protocol.

Moros Protocol started as a side project back in 2019, while the team were working on external projects to help sustain the studio. Around September 2022 we were able to focus more on the project and we slowly were fleshing out the version you saw last year. Now, with the help of Super Rare Originals, the team has grown!



When asked what he was most excited for players to jump into, Nick said this
"Personally I just love when people get to experience a world I created or worked on, and see how they approach everything in their own way. This is something you can only do in videogames, where you see others literally "live" through an experience you created."

We're so excited for Moros Protocol to release later this year! We look forward to seeing you next week for another Dev Diary!

[h2]Upcoming Playtests[/h2]
We announced last week that we plan to have consistent playtests on the road to launch. Those will kick off very soon right here on Steam. We'll release a full schedule into our discord very soon (will update Steam later). Be sure to join our discord to get the latest updates on Steam Playtests and an easy place to leave feedback for the devs and find fellow Orpheans to get hype.

At the end of all things, in the darkness of infinity... we must rely on the Orpheans to protect us. This elite force is the first bastion against the enemy. No matter what foe you come against. But if they fall, and there is nothing else, your only task is to activate the Moros Protocol. Gods protect you.

Good day, Orpheans! 🫡

We're excited to announce that...
[h2]Moros Protocol will release in 2025 🚀 [/h2]

[h2]Hello, Darkverse: Rogue fans![/h2]

As we head into the holiday season, we have some exciting news to share. After much thought and reflection, we’ve decided to rename our game. This new name ties deeply into the game’s lore and our creative vision.

Moros, in Greek mythology, is the personification of impending doom and fate—a force that no one can escape. It’s a concept that perfectly reflects the tension and stakes at the heart of our game. This change also honours our Greek heritage of our team and the mythological inspiration that’s been a guiding light for the project.

The new name of the game shall be...


While this year has been a quieter one for updates, rest assured that Moros Protocol has been evolving into something truly special. We’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to refine the game and bring our vision to life.

Mark your calendars, because 2025 is going to be an incredible year for us—and for you, our players. A big announcement is on the horizon, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

From everyone on the team, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season. Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to embark on this new chapter together!



Stay safe,
The Pixel Reign Team
