Why you might like it
- Currently still fully playable — this is genuinely current, time-sensitive news: developer Star Gem confirmed the game will shut down on October 10, 2026, but remains completely accessible with no restrictions until then.
- A free-to-play space-combat MMO with strong PvP ship battles, co-op PvE missions, and large-scale Sector Conquest territorial warfare.
- The final summer (2026) includes free in-game events and unlocked paid content as a farewell to the community, per the developer's announcement.
- Long-running title (since 2012) from Gaijin Entertainment with over 200 sectors in its open-world conquest map.
Things to consider
- Scheduled to close permanently on October 10, 2026 — new account registration was already disabled starting May 14, 2026.
- Monetization has been fully disabled since June 1, 2026, as the team focuses only on keeping servers stable through closure.
- No word yet on any successor or revival plan; treat this as a closing chapter rather than a game to invest long-term in.
- Best suited right now to players wanting to experience its final farewell season rather than start a long-term MMO journey.
