Transcendence

Transcendence is a single-player, open-world game of space combat and exploration. In 2419, humanity has settled hundreds of star systems connected by stargates built by a dead alien race. A god-like hyperintelligence is compelling people to travel to the Galactic Core, while the galaxy’s Ancient Races quarantine all of Human Space. Alone aboard your ship, you must find powers and survive long enough to uncover a secret that threatens the galaxy.

Explore and survive

You travel through dozens of randomly generated star systems, adapting your strategy and making use of scavenged weapons and devices. Each playthrough differs, so survival depends on adapting to what you find. You can loot wreckage for weapons, armor and shields, or buy equipment at friendly stations. Completing missions for the Commonwealth Fleet or helping the Corporate Hierarchy with research can earn you unique high-tech weapons.

Face enemy forces

The game includes over a hundred kinds of enemy ships and stations, each with distinct abilities. You encounter the swarming tactics of Anarchist battlepods, EMP attacks from Dwarg masters and the archcannon of the Phobos dreadnought.

Earn money and take jobs

You can make money in several ways: escorting Korolov Corporation freighters, selling exotic ores extracted from asteroid fields with seismic charges, competing in the Battle Arena Maximus gladiatorial games, or selling illicit goods after gaining an introduction to the Black Market.

Included adventures

This edition includes the Corporate Command and Eternity Port expansions. In Corporate Command, you fly missions for the elite Corporate Hierarchy Operations Command and can pilot three new player ships. The expansion takes you into the corporations’ realm and into a mystery involving the chimeras, a foe that could threaten all of Human Space.

Eternity Port is a stand-alone adventure in which you play a CDM mercenary hired by the virtual denizens of Eternity Port. With an onboard AI, you gain powers in both physical and virtual worlds. When a digital hyperintelligence threatens all of Human Space, the reclusive cyber-citizens of Eternity Port are the only hope.
