Are You Ready To Command A Starship?

At E3 2014, Independent publisher Grey Box has announced a collaboration with Berlin-based studio Yager to create its upcoming aerial armada action PC game, Dreadnought. Players will take on the role of a mercenary spaceship captain with no loyalties to tie him down, fighting for glory amidst a galaxy of chaos in a war-torn futuristic era.

"Dreadnought harkens back to the PC space combat game we developed when we first started out. In the years since, we've been developing and testing some incredible ideas that now perfectly come together in Dreadnought. Grey Box has been an amazing partner and we're incredibly thankful they share our vision for what Dreadnought will become."
- Mathias Wiese, Art Director and Co-Founder, Yager

The battleships in Dreadnought are massive, coming in various shapes and classes. You will command one of these battleships, assuming complete control, from balancing power among specific sub-systems to selecting and customizing weapons, engines, armor, abilities, crew and your ships' aesthetics. And, should you find something to be lacking, you can collaborate with the development teams to help determine what comes next.

"We all have that dream of sitting in the Captain's Chair. It’s an awesome feeling to control something so huge and powerful, and that feeling is present in Dreadnought. Our goal is to nurture that feeling at all costs by working with players to fulfill the creation of their dream armada. With the game announced, that feedback starts now. It’s going to be a lot of fun."
- Tony Medrano, Creative Director, Grey Box

Dreadnought is powered by Unreal Engine 4 technology, is targeting the PC, and is set to enter public testing in early 2015. For more information, check out the official Dreadnought website.
