[h3]Space Pirates, get ready to breach! [/h3]
It’s time for blast off! Marauders has officially launched into Early Access. Thank you for assisting us in the preceding Tech Tests over the past few months, your feedback and participation has been invaluable.
[h3]What is Marauders?[/h3]
Marauders takes place in an alternative 1990s where The Great War never ended, Earth has been industrialised to its breaking point, and most have fled to the stars.
This deep space shooter sees players take on other squads and AI enemies in a stellar sci-fi battleground of hulking frigates, bullet-riddled space prisons, and decaying agricultural hubs.
During each match, players hunt for valuable loot and gear to add to their ever-growing inventory or swap for cold hard cash on the black market, all while breaching and stealing others' ships and earning a notorious reputation among the stars.
At early access launch, Marauders features over 40 specialised contract missions and additional unique raid locations, with an extensive roadmap of content to come over the months ahead.
