After two years of development, our first major PC project is officially released.It’s hard to describe how much this moment means to us. What started as ideas, prototypes, experiments, and a lot of work has finally become a game you can buy, download, and play today.In Frontier: Path of Shadows, you’ll follow Jay and the crew of the Simurgh through a fractured corner of outer space, get caught up in conflicts between rival factions, fight tactical battles, make difficult choices, and uncover the mystery of the strange alien being connected to Jay — the Symbiont.We’ve spent two years living wi

We have some great news: Frontier: Path of Shadows is launching on September 10!With release less than a month away, we’re putting the finishing touches on the game — and we’ve just updated the free Steam demo so you can try some of the improvements right now.What’s changed?A faster start and more freedom from the beginningThe previous demo could make Frontier feel more linear and story-focused than it really is. Exploration and player choice are a big part of the experience, so we’ve reworked the opening to bring that across much sooner.You’ll now reach open space almost immediately. From the

When people in the Core Worlds talk about technology, they usually imagine the latest reactor design, a new warship, or another breakthrough in artificial intelligence. In reality, most of the technologies that define our lives today were invented centuries or even millennia ago. We do not live in an age of constant revolutions, but significant discoveries are still being made.Energy That Powers CivilizationsAny world capable of supporting large-scale industry or maintaining a space fleet relies on three key technologies: fusion power, planetary energy grids, and stellar energy collectors.The

Artificial intelligence has become one of humanity's greatest achievements, and one of its greatest mysteries.They cannot be programmed, copied, or replaced. Every AI is a unique individual whose creation demands enormous resources, time, and expertise. In this article, we explore the nature of artificial minds in the 25th century: from the birth of an AI personality to its role within the society of the Oecumene.The Nature of MindThe emergence of artificial intelligence did not bring humanity any closer to understanding itself. If anything, the opposite happened. The more advanced our technol

The Centaur Corporation Union is the most technologically advanced power in the Oecumene and the homeland of Alice, one of the first companions you'll meet during your journey across the Frontier. To better understand the person who will accompany you through the fringes of known space, it's worth taking a closer look at the society that shaped her.A Nation Ruled by CorporationsThe Centaur Corporation Union is a state built around humanity's largest corporations. They provide security, drive scientific progress, manage the economy, and define the nation's political direction.In Centaur, pragma

Steam Cyberpunk Fest has begun, and we're excited to be part of it!In Frontier, cyberpunk begins at the edge of explored space. Advanced neural implants, living crystalline technology, distributed computing, and the growing gap between those who control technology and those left behind shape everyday life across the Frontier. Throughout the festival, we'll be sharing more about the world of Frontier, from neural augmentations and living crystalline technology to factions, and the ideas that shaped our universe. If you're interested in grounded sci-fi, tactical RPGs, and worldbuilding, we'd lov

Very little happens on the Frontier by accident. Behind every pirate raid, lucrative contract, trade route, or sudden political intrigue stands one of Epsilon’s major powers. And if you're planning to spend any amount of time in the sector, it pays to know who you'll be dealing with.House NoPeople on the Frontier say that House No makes money even when nobody is buying anything. Officially, this noble house operates in the entertainment business. It oversees casinos, restaurants, media networks, and other perfectly legal pleasures for the wealthy citizens of the Oikumene. In reality, No’s infl

One of the strangest discoveries out on the Frontier is an ancient crystal symbiote. Ever since meeting it, Jay's life has gotten more complicated and the number of problems and people chasing him has gone way up.The symbiote is an ancient lifeform, trying to understand its host and the world around it. And the longer they share a body, the more they shape each other.As you play, your decisions gradually shape the symbiote's personality. It watches how you handle negotiations, resolve conflicts, explore the world, and treat other people. Over time, the crystal starts mirroring your traits and

As the squad makes its way across the Frontier, they'll come across all kinds of places—from lost colonies and trading posts to worlds scarred by war. Every single one of them has its own story and its own set of problems, and you can bet you'll get dragged into both.Catalina IVIf Catalina IV ever shows up in your navigation log, check your ship's insurance. Twice. A powerful engine, a stray energy pulse, or even a noise that's just a little too loud can stir up a storm. And the lightning here? No joke. One strike can knock a ship right out of the sky.The planet is almost entirely covered in o

Traffic control reports increased activity on the routes leading into the Epsilon sector. Our analysts link it to Frontier: Path of Shadows taking part in Steam Next Fest!If you haven't made it out to the Frontier yet, this is your perfect excuse to round up a squad and head for the edge of inhabited space. Expect procedurally generated tactical combat, tough choices, and a mysterious crystal symbiote that can turn a routine job into the start of something much bigger. During our run-up to the festival, we've fine-tuned the balance, squashed a ton of bugs, and made a bunch of improvements base
