Synthetic physical forms allow humans to pursue an existence in space and have opened the door to immortality.
This future is not without danger and the very substance of humanity will be tested in the distant regions of space known as the fringe. Out in the Fringe, factions of humanity race to explore space, claim resources, and create new technologies to tip the balance of power; with this race for new power, all of humanity is plagued by conflict with the remnants.
Out in the lawlessness of the Fringe humanity faces its greatest enemy: itself.
Across the fringes of space, augmentation and enhancements have created humans who are almost unrecognizable to those on Earth. The Puresect, Neostate Alliance, Exceedant States and the Eriscent each represent a different interpretation of transhuman values. They vie to conquer space in the hopes of shaping humanity in their own image.
In ship to ship battles, your precision maneuvering and sharpshooting skills are the difference between victory and defeat. The physically-inspired close range combat will require strategic management of your ship's systems. With each burst of weapons fire, high speed turn, and shield deflection, your ship will expend power and build heat. Find holes in your enemy’s defenses and go in for the kill. Every battle you engage in will play out differently.
Bristling with tech that makes it practical to live, travel, and fight in space, 24th century spaceships are able to maneuver and perform unlike any craft in this century.
At sub-light speeds your spaceship can rotate around its center of mass while maintaining momentum in its original vector. This freedom allows your craft to attack enemies in any direction and provides true multi-axis combat. The darkspace drive allows a pilot to rapidly decelerate their craft, drift, slide, or dodge a short distance away to avoid enemy fire.
Customize your flight mechanics to use only keys and move with the mouse, or utilize more advanced mappings and peripherals like flightsticks. Experience a flight simulator devoted to giving users the most empowering vision of future vehicular control.
Discover the right balance between combat, science, and industry to suit your own particular play style or that of your team. You can select from a variety of loadouts, ship types and a warehouse of choices for weapons, drives, shielding, armour, sensors, reactors, and a whole lot more.
The universe is a big place and is filled with lots of opportunities, each of them needing the right tools for the job. Transverse will feature many ship classes and configurations, ranging from small single seat fighters, all the way up to large multi-crew vessels. Each of these ships plays a distinct role with further customizations allowing players to create specializations within those roles.
To be immortal, you must first be human.
No longer bound to our limited flesh bodies, our consciousness can be transferred from a mortal body to a synthetic host, which can take on multiple forms. Our first passing is a special one - a new coming of age - as we transcend from mortal to immortal and we take on our new transhuman lives. Age, disease, and genetics no longer play a role in limiting our futures.
Combat, science and industry. Lawful or unlawful. The role you choose is defined by your actions. With each working in harmony, you will need to rely on one another to be successful. You can choose to destroy your enemies, protect your friends, explore the intricate folds of darkspace, salvage derelicts, create specialized weapons, smuggle contraband goods, or steal them from others.
Mastery builds gradually, and despite being a long, difficult journey, in the end the reward is always worth it.
In the Transverse, the way to victory follows the same path. Advancement comes from performing the activities you enjoy most, and as you play you gain experience points to spend on proficiencies.
Proficiencies, along with experience, are divided into General, Combat, Industry and Science categories, which regulate the equipment you may use. Demonstrate your cunning by selecting the optimal character proficiencies to become the best at what you do.
In the Transverse your actions define the universe. Your decisions, combat, missions, trading, and discoveries are the driving force for the creation and expansion of the Transverse. You and thousands of other players will shape the universe and craft a unique, shared story.
The key elements to success are reputation, money and good contacts. In the Transverse, performing services in the form of contracts to help other players is the quickest way to reach your goals.
Human civilization's journey into the fringes of space has only just begun. The Sol system has retreated into a closed society that does not tolerate disruptive influences. On the Fringe, players rule themselves, creating player run factions with their own laws and governance.
Players can choose to stay near the bounds of newly settled space, or take the risk to push into new space, and profit from undiscovered rewards and resources.
You, along with other players, are the driving force in the economy. All goods fuel the delicate balance of supply and demand in the Fringe. Every action you take has consequences.
There are no NPC stores, no pre-established mines, and no manufacturers. With the humble colonist goods granted upon entry into the Transverse, it's up to you and other players to establish the economy for the star systems beyond Sol.
Band together with other players to create private entities in search of wealth and fame. Recruit investors, distributors, and customers while you design and sell advanced technology as a powerful interplanetary mega corporation.
Control space by forming your own solar alliances and setting your own laws to police that territory. Alliances can be formed by companies and individuals and range from small mercenary teams to massive sprawling interstellar republics. Your alliance can be a force for good, protecting colonies and industry, or one of malevolence, carving out a repressive empire and exterminating the undesirable sects of humanity. Out in fringe space your alliances can unite with humanity or revel in its destruction.
Our goal is to be as transparent as possible. We aim to provide regular updates on the status of various team’s work and on the cool new features and content that are in production. To keep you informed about the big picture, we’ll update on the status of our current and future plans, what’s in the current test pipeline, and on our overall development progression.
The team looks forward to sharing their hard work with you! By working together throughout the development of Transverse, players can help shape the future of the unfolding Transverse universe.

The open-ended architecture of Unreal Engine 4 gives us the freedom to make our game exactly how we want. UE4 is built for multiplayer – this combined with our in-house backend starts us out of the gates running.
Fast prototyping is critical to solid delivery. UE4’s blueprints system allows us to get to work quick. Designers can experiment with gameplay features and get fast feedback, ensuring movement, combat, and all aspects of play feel balanced.
UE4’s advanced, node-based material system gives us the power to create intricate, high resolution materials with dynamic effects. With cutting edge particle technology right out of the box, visual effects are taken to the next level of realism; players will really get the sense that they are in a huge, zero gravity environment. To top it all off, customizable post-processing effects dynamically set the mood wherever players explore.
The gold standard in game engines, UE4 allows us to make a big, multiplayer universe with incredibly rich and highly detailed environments.
Immersing players into the universe doesn't end with amazing graphics and rich gameplay. Modern technology and innovative peripherals allow us unprecedented realism and interactivity, and we plan to test and incorporate these technologies to bring you a deeper, richer experience.
In the upcoming months, we'll provide more information on how this will unfold.
