*DEMO NOW ON STEAM! WISHLIST NOW. EARLY ACCESS PLANNED FOR EARLY 2026. FULL DETAILS BELOW.*
Nuclear-powered space combat in the 23rd century. In The Black® is a hard-science, Newtonian space combat simulator from developers behind X-Wing, MechWarrior 2, and Crysis. Experience high-intensity, physics-driven combat across the Solar System in both single-player contracts and online PvP.
The In The Black demo remains online and continues to receive regular updates as development moves toward Early Access (planned Q1 2026). The latest patch adds improved tutorial combat, input-system upgrades, and two new Alienware-themed Shrike ship skins, including a limited Halloween edition.
A weekly livestream hosted by the studio’s founder airs every Saturday at 11 AM Eastern across major streaming platforms, covering development progress, feature updates, and community Q&A.
