Marauders is a tactical first-person multiplayer shooter set in an alternative 1990s where The Great War never ended, Earth has been industrialized to its breaking point, and many have fled to the stars.

Marauders will see players step into the boots of a roving space mercenaries known as ‘Marauders’ to explore and breach hostile spaceships; salvage valuable loot, including an arsenal of iconic weapons from the last century; and do battle with other players and AI enemies in tense multiplayer combat. 

Players will be able to play solo or in squads of up to four and equip gear and weapons to increase their chances of survival while embarking on daring raids among the stars. They’ll also have to keep a close watch for others looking to do the same and end their expedition with a bullet. Should they make it out alive, they’ll be able to use their haul in further matches, put those resources scavenged toward upgrading their ship, or sell everything for a tidy profit.

Team17 and Small Impact Games have announced ‘Red Baron’, the debut and free content update for Marauders, coming soon to Steam Early Access.

Marking the game’s first major content update since its Steam Early Access launch in October 2022, Marauders’ ‘Red Baron’ update will introduce players to the game’s first boss: the titular and legendary pilot. A dogfighting ace from the game’s Central Empire faction and expert in both close-quarters battles and space flight combat, players will find the Red Baron a formidable foe, and will need to put their marksmanship and aeronautic expertise to the test to take down this deadly pilot.

In game, players will need to keep watch for the Baron as the wingman scours deep-space in their deadly Strike Frigate – a brand-new, lootable ship which will also serve as a low-light combat arena for tense, close-quarters firefights. Once spotted, they will then need to find a way onto the ship and face off against them in a brutal skirmish. If victorious, players will be able to commandeer the Baron’s powerful Strike Frigate and loot their corpse for the chance to receive rare weapons, equipment, and cosmetics.
