Overview: The year is 2070.
Darkness Beyond transports players to an alien world called Eda rich with natural resources and dangerous lifeforms. Exciting first-person shooter gameplay combines with resource collection and building mechanics for a truly unique MMO gaming experience.
Players must scavenge for resources to craft tools, weapons, gems to protect themselves from the vicious alien fauna. Quests and crafting mechanics encourage players to brave the dangers of Darkest Beyond to gain experience to create more powerful items. Crafted gear and implants enhance players’ abilities, but teamwork is key.

Darkness Beyond has multiple levels of cooperative gaming. Grouping with friends to explore the environment increases the odds of survival and of acquiring important resources. On a larger scale, players ally with factions and join large-scale fights for land and resources. In Darkest Beyond, competition is fierce and the rewards are huge.

Darkness Beyond has no micro-transactions or in-game purchases. It returns to the roots of online gaming where players earn rewards through skill and determination, not dollars.

The alpha phase of Darkness Beyond runs on a dedicated server hosting up to 5000 players in a full virtual world. New developments in nerve technology let you feel, smell, and taste the world around you in a totally immersive environment. Beware of danger though because even the pain feels real with death resorting in a level reset to 1. The only way to gain back your experience is to find avenge your death. Future releases will support even more players per server with various expansions combining elements from your favorite fantasy, action, and sci-fi games. The future is now. The future is Darkness Beyond.
