About Wayward Beyond

Wayward Beyond is a space sandbox RPG with procedurally-generated elements. You will be immersed into a retro-future themed galaxy during its frontier era far beyond the reach of our Milky Way!

Chart Your Stars

In Wayward Beyond, the choice is yours - how you want to play, who you want to be, and where you want to go. There is no wrong way to play as you pick which pillars of the game to engage with.

Create

Express your creativity and shape the environment. You can build space ships and stations, craft powerful items and customize gear, engineer interconnected ship systems, architect automated manufacturing plants, and delve into TTRPG-style character builds.

Explore

Find a galaxy of procedurally-generated events and elements packed with environmental storytelling, providing variety, emergent gameplay, and replayability. You will find asteroids, derelict stations, crashed ships, alien stars, and more.

Trade

Buying, selling, or bartering you can make your own way. Localized economies with supply and demand allow you to invest, transport, and trade whether you are after financial success or supplementing progression.

Battle

Engage your enemies in gravity and zero-g environments whether by foot, jetpack, or ship. Using your own hard earned, created, discovered, or stolen armaments you can find yourself in melee, small arms, or ship-vs-ship combat - or the sorry victim of an alien chasing you through a derelict station.
