In the Black. Nuclear-Powered Space Combat.

We love space shooters. We all played the hell out of X-Wing, Wing Commander, and that entire generation of amazing space combat games. That’s why we’re so excited to be creating the next game in that rich lineage:IN THE BLACK., a hardcore team-based PvP multiplayer space shooter in the vein of X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter.


All About Combat. Realism Done Right.

Hardcore PvP multiplayer space warfare focused on pure, unadulterated tactical simulation combat.
