Combat is entirely skill based, with full-loot on death, rewarding those who master the art of war; however, every aspect of Mankind Reborn is player-driven, from the factions themselves to the economy, government and more.

Will you forge your destiny as an interstellar entrepreneur, a mercenary whose loyalty lies solely to the highest bidder, or a faction leader at the helm of the next chapter in mankind's errant journey. Economic domination, brutal conflicts and constant politicking shifts the lines of battle daily, factional feuds can last generations and megacorpations fund high tech low life in this dystopian sandbox experience. Where will you end up?

Gameplay revolves around carving your destiny in a persistent world, factions rise and fall in power and colonies swap hands as readily as a trader shifts his wares. The far frontier is often home to lawlessness and black-market dealings whilst the government struggles to keep an iron grip on the ever-volatile core worlds. A detailed economic system provides the backbone for mining, production and manufacture fuelling conflict and player greed at every turn, factions resort to uneasy alliances, or outright war, over mineral shortages and the distant threat of hostile lifeforms challenges ancient ideas of loyalty to faction or loyalty to mankind.

Using the powerful UE4 engine Mankind Reborn provides players an immersive sandbox environment, with skill-based third, and first, person combat. Players write their own story, starting out in one of the eight factions, their actions and decisions help shape the face of Mankind Reborn.

Far Frontier Studios will be integrating 8 Circuit Studios’ blockchain-powered technologies into Far Frontier’s cyberpunk MMO - Mankind Reborn. The title will soon make use of the cross-game digital assets being developed in partnership with 8 Circuit Studios, and will take the form of property that players can acquire and use not only in Mankind Reborn, but in future metaverse-powered games.

The metaverse is an entirely digital online “universe of universes” and a massive gaming ecosystem powered by Blockchain technology. The metaverse will offer an open opportunity for other game developers and publishers to create shared experiences for gamers. By using the Ethereum blockchain, 8 Circuit Studios is able to create, attribute, and safeguard digital assets — that you can own and store, along with your cryptocurrency, in a virtual wallet. Digital assets can be weapons, tools, buildings, ships and much more, that would be usable in multiple games that make use of the metaverse. Players leaving one metaverse-enabled game doesn’t mean an asset is no longer useful, as the player can bring certain assets into other games that use the metaverse, allowing the player to maximize the utility of the item.

“We are excited and happy to be developing partnerships with talented community-focused teams like Far Frontier. Mankind Reborn’s cyberpunk themes and massively multiplayer gameplay fit the idea of the metaverse in obvious, and incredibly compelling, ways,” says James Mayo, President of 8 Circuit Studios “We believe this collaboration will bring something new to gamers, and usher in a new era of cross-game experiences.“

“We are looking forward to the opportunity to expand on our cyberpunk theme by taking the bold move of contributing to the creation of an actual metaverse with this partnership,” says Christian Aguila, Founder/Lead Developer of Far Frontier. “Mankind Reborn is a fully player-driven universe that allows any player to shape the game. Once we introduce real estate that is embedded in the blockchain, not only will players will be able to own unique pieces of the world, they will also be able to take their property into other linked games as well.”
