Miner Wars\u00a0is a\u00a0space-based simulation shooter that\u00a0combines a\u00a0single player story\u00a0game and an MMO.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The Miner Wars franchise branches into two different products: Miner Wars 2081\u00a0(that features single-player and multiplayer) and\u00a0Miner Wars MMO\u00a0(its\u00a0massive multiplayer online version). The first game is due for release in\u00a0Q1 2012 and it is part of Space Sector’s Sci-Fi\/Space Games You Can’t Miss in 2011 list<\/a>. The MMO Miner Wars is targeted for release sometime later. The beta is scheduled for\u00a0Q4 2012.<\/p>\n

Yesterday Miner Wars’ devs launched a pre-sales campaign for their MMO (almost a full year before the MMO goes beta). They are offering 2 years of subscription after the game comes out for a price of $19.99 USD. They also promised to give “access to the pre-alpha of MMO [that] will be most likely given to our loyal customers earlier, in Q2-Q3\/2012<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Devs’ reasons for launching the pre-orders so soon include:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

– To determine peoples\u2019 interest in the MMO compared to single\/co-op. We may start focusing on the MMO development sooner, so fans will also receive MMO pre-alpha sooner.
\n– To support the developers (funds would enable us to hire a larger team, make the game earlier and better).
\n– To shape how the MMO will look like (not all design details are set in stone) with the help and feedback from our community of gamers.
\n– To generate more interest from our investors to invest additional money in to the MMO.
\n– And to let you save some money with the pre-sale discount price!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Single-player\/standard multi-player (Miner Wars 2081) is now in pre-alpha stage and available for free download<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can pre-order Miner Wars MMO at the\u00a0Miner Wars’ official website store<\/a>.<\/p>\n
