Free Stars: Children of Infinity

An Epic Space Adventure

You are the captain of a mission to the farthest reaches of space, where you'll discover thousands of exotic worlds and dozens of alien denizens. Some are friendly, some are terrifying, and some are just plain weird.

It’s up to you to decide how to acquire allies, confront threats, and ultimately protect a universe still recovering from the onslaught of the terrible Ur-Quan overlords in this long-awaited sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters.

• Return to the Free Stars universe with the long-awaited sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters, embarking on a fresh adventure for fans both old and new.

A Wide-Open Universe

In Children of Infinity, humanity and its allies will voyage to an uncharted region of space, with hundreds of undiscovered stars. With an incomplete Star Map and fragmented clues, you will undertake a vital mission to discover the source of intergalactic tremors that are threatening the fabric of HyperSpace.

The universe is big, but you won’t be alone. You will meet a cast of colorful alien characters with their own unique personalities and motives.



Some will be willing to help you and will need your help in return. Other species may be less friendly. The choice of how to interact with them is always yours, and every alien is different from another. Get ready to be amazed, alarmed, and amused.

Every star on the map contains a procedurally generated planetary system. Many of them are uncharted, and several are quite strange. Your planet scanner will show you what to expect, and you will need to learn which planets have the resources you need.



Many planets deserve a closer look. You and your crew will navigate these untamed worlds in the planet lander, avoiding hazards, collecting resources, and investigating new mysteries.

A Deep HyperSpace Mystery

Your story starts with a discovery from the far reaches of space, three years after you and your allies have overthrown the terrible Ur-Quan masters.

The New Alliance of Free Stars has detected an unnatural breach in HyperSpace, and it is only getting worse. This revelation throws you and your allies into a new adventure, towards an uncharted region of the galaxy filled with mystery.

Battle Enemy Starships

Space isn’t all discovery and diplomacy. Alien encounters can easily start with a bang. The fast-paced, inertia-driven combat will feature more than 30 different starships, building upon the classic Super Melee action from The Ur-Quan Masters. Each starship has unique powers and characteristics, reflecting one of many distinct alien captains. This new game will feature all new ships and aliens, along with every ship from The Ur-Quan Masters (except the Slylandro Probe, for your safety).



No starships are created equal. Should you invest everything into a single, powerful battleship? Or do you want to spread your resources across a fleet of scrappy specialists? Every starship has its strengths and weaknesses, and you can get an edge by picking the right match-up, or by mastering your weapon of choice.



The standalone combat mode – Super Melee – returns for you to practice your combat skills, playing the game against a friend or AI combatant. Super Melee now supports more than just one-on-one play, with combat between multiple players, and unique modes where you battle against onslaughts of enemies.



Combat is challenging. You can avoid a battle by trying to flee, negotiate, or even delegate. Whether you're unsure of your combat skill or simply prefer to advance the story quickly, Cyborg Mode allows you to cede control to an AI and help you win.

Multiplayer: Co-Op, Competitive, and More

The adventure is more fun with friends! Seamless drop-in multiplayer allows other players to join you and be part of the story.

For players who want competitive action, play online Super Melee matches in classic one-on-one battles. Or try special modes made for multiple players, with plenty of new twists.
