'Hyperspace' Is A New Sandbox MMO Full Of Exploration, Warfare And Cosmic Possibilities

by Rainier on Feb. 22, 2022 @ 2:37 p.m. PST

Set in an all-new universe, Hyperspace is a free-to-play science fiction massively multiplayer online (MMO) sandbox game with a unique play-and-earn, player-owned economy.

Take risks or play it safe - be a Hunter, Miner, Explorer or Trader, master a huge variety of professions and make the galaxy your own in a massively evolving sandbox filled with emergent gameplay that allows players to experience it their own way.

Hyperspace has removed the traditional pay-to-play, subscription and pay-to-win video game models and combined free-to-play with the optional ability to earn a living as you play the game and forge your own path solo or with friends. 

How you choose to live in Hyperspace is up to you.

Drawing from the classic aesthetic of the golden era of 1970s science fiction, Hyperspace gives players the freedom to choose their own life and style of play - whether they want to be a galaxy-spanning explorer, a high-tech craftsman, or a rebellious intergalactic outlaw.

Hyperspace tells a tale of galaxies on edge and rife for exploration and domination. When an experiment to create a stable wormhole between two galaxies went wrong they were instantly merged into one. Eons later and as four economic territories vie for control, the impacts of that devastation still ripple through the new galaxy as the disparate species struggle to get along. Yet there are still opportunities to get out there, discover the past and make a better future. Or at least make a tidy profit on the side.  

Hyperspace players can create their character based on one of eight playable races, each with their own expanded lore and culture within a much larger universe, and participate in several activities with classes which include; Hunter, Gatherer, Explorer, and Trader, allowing them to customize their experience to suit their style of play. The space-themed gaming experience transports players to an expansive galaxy that’s filled with thousands of star systems, multiple territories, and four galactic currencies, giving users endless opportunities within an ever-evolving sandbox.


“We are very excited to announce Hyperspace. We know that this game will mean a lot to the sci-fi gaming community, because it means a lot to us as fans of MMOs and science fiction ourselves.  Our goal is to bring old school classic cosmic adventure into the next generation of sandbox MMOs with a vibrant player-driven economy and hugely expansive narrative to explore. We can’t wait to show you more, and hope you’ll join us on this journey… it’s going to be something special.” - Theo Priestley, CEO - Carbon Based Lifeforms
