Fractured Space contains solo and co-op modes on top of its competitive multiplayer core.Īs sad as this news is, I do applaud Edge Case for their plans to make the game truly free, at least until it becomes impossible to keep the servers running. In the case of Fractured Space it seems especially unfortunate because it casts a long, dark shadow on the 'big spaceship' genre as a whole, considering that Dreadnought was very similar, albeit less fully featured. Dreadnought's studio had to make major cuts after a rough launch, Dirty Bomb will no longer be developed or expanded, and Wildstar and its studio are both gone. This announcement comes just after a spate of similar stories among free-to-play developers. Servers will remain online for "the foreseeable future".

#FRACTURED SPACE PIONEER GUIDE UPDATE#
As of the next and final episodic update to the game - Infection - premium currency is being removed from the game, and all items will be made purchasable using the in-game currency. Announced on Steam today, the studio are officially ending development on the game and moving on to other projects. The latest to take a hit to the warp core is Fractured Space, Edge Case's free-to-play MOBA-like take on capital-class space combat. October continues to be a rubbish month for free-to-play games, especially niche ones.
