PHANTOM GALAXIES™ is an expansive online multiplayer sci-fi action-RPG set in a vast and immersive universe, featuring fast-paced mecha combat and high-octane action, a captivating story and characters, and innovative Web3 integration. The game’s free-to-play approach aims to introduce a wider audience to the possibilities and potential of blockchain games. 

 

After an interstellar war, the Commonwealth and the Union have united to form the Ranger Squadron — a unit of elite mecha pilots devoted to protecting human colonies on the frontiers of known space. Players will take on the role of an ensign in the Ranger Squadron, piloting a transforming mechanized Starfighter to defend against the incursions of ruthless pirate factions and treacherous alien foes, from the scavenging Junkers and paramilitary Brooksea to the reviled Xanorra and vicious Sha’har zealots.

 

In PHANTOM GALAXIES™, players can generate unique characters, build and customize their transforming Starfighters to suit their playstyle, and engage in high-intensity combat in space or on the ground as they protect the human colonies against vicious pirate hordes, fend off mysterious alien civilizations, and secure strategic locations to defend humanity’s territory. Players can fight alone or team up with other pilots online. Player freedom is key, with a variety of mecha types to choose from — specializing in close, medium, or long-ranged combat and fully customizable to focus on offense, defense, or both.

 

PHANTOM GALAXIES™ features blockchain integration, giving players the option to genuinely own digital assets including player quarters, hangars to house their Starfighters, and even Planets which can be developed with a range of structures such as marketplaces to trade items and refineries for use in the game’s extensive crafting system. This unique NFT integration bridges the gap between traditional gaming and Web3 gaming to take full advantage of the overlap of gameplay and blockchain. 

 

With PHANTOM GALAXIES™, Blowfish Studios is building an unprecedented gaming experience while innovating within the Web3 space, leveraging the expertise of its parent company Animoca Brands, which is also behind the highly successful decentralized metaverse The Sandbox.

 

PHANTOM GALAXIES™ Gameplay Features:

  • Engage in fast-paced battles against enemy mechs, spacecraft, and sky-filling capital ships

  • Gain new abilities, weapon configurations, and more as you upgrade the mecha class that fits your playstyle

  • Choose between four unique mecha classes and customize your loadout to triumph on the battlefield

  • Travel among the stars, exploring sectors inhabited by pirates, scavengers, and rogue factions.

 

PHANTOM GALAXIES™ will launch on PC in early access on 2 November 2023; the free-to-play Web3-enabled version will be available through the PHANTOM GALAXIES™ website and the Epic Games Store, and the version without Web3 integration will be available on Steam. PHANTOM GALAXIES™ features language support for English, Russian, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. Players can now wishlist PHANTOM GALAXIES™ on Steam and Epic Games Store.
