Starfighter Origins hits Steam tomorrow

An homage to the space combat games of the 90s.

Blackpool-based Mad About Games Studios are releasing their next game, Starfighter Origins, on Steam tomorrow (April 25). Described as a "90s style space combat simulator" the game is set to offer 4 singleplayer game modes and over 40 missions.

"We have gone back to the roots of space combat, spending many years working in the freespace engine on mods such as The Babylon project has been a huge plus," said Lead Designer Shaun Williams. "There are many space games coming onto the market but not many single player and story driven scripted games. A lot of games are multiplayer, dynamically generated or does not focus entirely on space combat simulation." "With the incredible experience and talent of our small indie team, we are thrilled to offer what we believe is the most exciting single player space combat game to hit the market for a long time."

The game has been built with a small budget using the Unreal Engine 4 and the team is currently in talks with Microsoft over a summer release on Xbox One. A PS4 version should also be coming but is yet to be confirmed.
