About Avorion

Avorion begins in the aftermath of a galactic catastrophe. Centuries ago, an impassable ring of torn hyperspace fabric erupted at the centre of the galaxy, a barrier ordinary hyperspace engines simply cannot cross. Since that Event, no one has reached the core regions, and strange rifts have scattered across the galaxy while an enigmatic alien race, the Xsotan, appeared at its heart, seemingly able to traverse the barrier that stops everyone else.

Rumours also swirl about a mysterious new metal called Avorion, which surfaced in the galactic centre around the same time as the aliens and appears to be what they use to build their ships. Your journey starts as a nobody at the galaxy's edge, working steadily inward toward a core that grows more dangerous, and more rewarding, with every jump closer.

As an action simulation, Avorion borrows sandbox ideas from games like X and Freelancer, folds in cooperative multiplayer, and hands you the tools to design your own vessels. Ships are made of freely scalable blocks that can be procedurally generated, and they realistically shatter into pieces wherever enemy fire strikes during space battles. On PC, it's an indie space sandbox built around exploration, construction and combat.
