This is where we build our future
The year is 2054. Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation. A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira – and now it falls to you, as a member of BLADE, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction.
Into the unknown...
Mira is a sprawling alien world filled with vast oceans, expansive grassy plains, towering mountain ranges, exotic jungles and more, each with their own secrets to discover and threats to face. During your travels, you’ll move seamlessly around the surface of the planet and explore many huge areas, watch their ecosystems come to life and encounter a range of unfamiliar, gargantuan beasts which can be battled to gain valuable resources.
By installing data-gather probes across each continent, you’ll help to expand the FrontierNav system, revealing more information on the world map. Different types of data probes offer a range of benefits, such as increasing your combat power, so experiment to find the types that’ll help you out the most.
Once you’ve proven yourself to BLADE, you’ll earn the right to pilot and personalise your very own Skell – a powerful machine that can fly, transform into a vehicle for fast overland travel, and wield immense strength in combat.
Build your community
Join forces with allies to better your chances of survival in the wilds of Mira. By taking the time to get to know your fellow teammates, their support in battles will increase and you’ll unlock quests for rare gear, too.
You
Yes, you! At the start of your adventure, use the vast range of customisable settings to create a character that you identify with and begin your exploration of Mira…
Unidentified lifeforms approaching!
Some of Mira’s fauna won’t take kindly to trespassers exploring their domain, so you and your comrades better be prepared to put up a fight. Draw your weapon to start a battle, strategically position your teammates around their target, and choose from a variety of special attacks and skills known as Arts to and best those beasties.

Explore in style!
Need some protection? Maybe a bigger gun? Bolster your party’s abilities and appearance by equipping different weapons and armour. If you equip gear from certain arms manufacturers, they might reward you for advertising their wares by giving you access to previously unavailable items.
Your Skell can also be customised too. Decorate it with different decals and colourways to make your exoskeleton truly your own.
