We reached 100% on Indiegogo! New special Perks and Exclusive preview!

Hello amazing Somnium people!

You all did it! We reached 111% of our goal in 3 days! This is beyond any of our wildest expectations and we are forever grateful to have you all on board! We still got 2 months to go and many more people are joining our community every single day!



As a way to celebrate this we are launching a new absolutely exclusive and limited Perk - Live Forever Mode subscription. Yes, you heard it right! Only 75 of you will be able to experience this special mode inside Somnium Space in 2019. That means we will be recording all your moves and actions on your parcel then using this data to allow you spawning your second YOU as an avatar and let people talk to you even if you are not there. We know, it is a lot of "you's" in this sentence, but that's because we want you to Live Forever in a digital reality!



Those who are members of our Discord channel already know, that we are working hard to deliver the biggest and most complex update to Somnium Space in Feb 2019. In order to celebrate this goal, we wanted to share with you our work in progress on the new map. Not only it is the most beautiful environment we've ever created but performance is much higher meaning rocking 80+ fps ( Samsung Odyssey+, 140% super-sampling) all the time! Majority of things from current Somnium Waypoint you will still find there, but also much more! We can't wait to show you your new home world in VR! Enjoy the preview! Please note: This is actual in-game footage!









This is a flyover and a development preview of updated Somnium Space map!

And finally we want to announce our winner of Somnium Space T-Shirt! Snakebite has taken our campaign over to and over 100% with his purchase of 4x Small Parcels Bundle! He will be getting a T-Shirt of his choice! Congratulations and thank you!


Thank you very much for your support! Meet us inside Somnium during our weekly events!
