Warped Universe: A Meta-driven Sci-fi Looter Shooter You deploy onto a planet consumed by the Void. Push through the corruption, neutralize the cosmic threat, secure vital resources. But here's the thing. That mission didn't just help you. The Residuum you obtained just powered a facility on that planet. That facility, once completed, just gave a permanent buff to every player in the game. Meanwhile, someone else on the other side of the galaxy just discovered a new planet, unlocking more global buffs. Hundreds of these objectives, every season, all feeding the same universe. You run the mission. The whole galaxy feels it. That’s Warped Universe. A co-op* PvE looter shooter where the community drives the entire universe forward together. Note: Solo missions launch with Early Access. Squad co-op arrives in an early post-launch update. Every mission you run, solo or grouped, feeds the same shared universe. Explore. Defend. Upgrade. Empower. Explore: Discover uncharted sectors and hidden planets. Defend: Protect hundreds of seasonal objectives from the Void, a relentless alien enemy. Upgrade: Collect Cores and Sparks to evolve and power up your custom Echo Suit and Ship. Empower: Secure facilities to unlock permanent global buffs for everyone. If You Like These Games, You'll Feel At Home In Our Universe Every mission in Warped Universe can be played as real-time third-person action or turn-based tactics, on the ground or in space. Play it the way you want, every time. The PvE loop will feel familiar if you play Helldivers 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Warframe, or Destiny 2. Space flight will feel familiar to those who play Everspace 2, Star Wars Battlefront, or No Man's Sky. For fans of turn-based tactical games like XCOM 2, Phoenix Point, Fallout Tactics, and Aliens: Dark Descent, every mission can be played turn-based as well as real-time. We took what we love about those games and built something new where everyone matters, and every mission counts. Early Access - What's Here Now Solo ground combat and space exploration. Nexus Station social hub with players gathering between missions. Planetary facility progression. A seasonal solar system the community unlocks together. Real-time action or turn-based tactics, your choice each mission. Squad co-op for 1 to 4 players arriving in an early post-launch update. What Makes It Different A Shared Destiny Every mission feeds the bigger picture. Complete objectives, extract Residuum, activate and defend planetary facilities. The buffs don’t just go to your squad. They go to everyone. The more the community plays, the more the solar system opens up. Every facility you finish unlocks a permanent power-up for the entire community. Work together to guide the expansion. Play Your Way Bring your shooter friend. Bring your tactics friend. Bring the friend who just wants to fly through space. Everyone plays the way they want, and it all counts. The solar system expands based on what the community accomplishes together.
