Did Tribes Universe evolve into Ascend, or is that a project you want to revisit in the future?
Our studio is a huge fan of the previous Tribes games. So after we acquired the rights to Tribes our first goal was to get the movement and physics and combat feeling right. When we made enough progress toward that goal we decided to release a pure match-based shooter ahead of any MMO and that shooter became Ascend. We do still intend to further explore the Tribes and Starsiege IP with future projects, but right now our Tribes dev team is working only on Ascend.
I’m sure many of you have questions, so here are a few quick highlights for Tribes Universe:- Three Tribes (factions)
- Full clan (agency) support
- First person view (third person for some vehicles)
- Full vehicle support (ground and air)
- Full persistent world with territory control (no instances)
- PvP focused
- Huge outdoor maps (about 10x the area of sonoran desert)
- Large scale fights (100+ players)
- Jetpacks, skiing, lots of weapons, etc
