Qooland Games has announced that its flight based sci-fi MMO Warborne Above Ashes is now available to pre-download, ahead of the September 19th launch date.
Warborne Above Ashes is already doing pretty well, all things considered, as it’s landed in the top in the MMO and War categories after its Steam Next Fest appearance. The developer has released a new trailer for the game to celebrate the pre-download status, which shows off some new footage of the game in action, including combat and exploration.
The team says that Warborne Above Ashes aims to break away from “traditional MMO tropes” and suggests there’s no grind to this one, and you can just jump in and play.
Here’s some of the key features:
- 24/7 Real-Time PvP battlefields: Warborne Above Ashes delivers 24/7 large-scale PvP warfare, where battles unfold in real-time, day and night. Whether you’re hunting monsters, raiding rivals, or contesting territory at odd hours, the game’s systems are built to keep players engaged any time of day.
- No Story Quests, No Grind – Jump Straight In: Breaking from traditional MMO tropes, Warborne removes rigid classes and long progression walls in favour of immediate PvP access. Players can jump straight into combat without slogging through lengthy quests or grind-heavy levelling. The game supports flexible builds: over 40 unique Drifters to recruit, mix 100+ gear pieces across 12 sets, choose vehicles + dozens of tactical items. One hero can experiment with every playstyle – no separate characters required for different roles.
- Massive scale, No Fixed Modes, No Rule Limits: The engine supports huge, cinematic battles: up to 200 players can clash in a single session while the game maintains responsive controls and fluid gameplay. That scale doesn’t mean smaller groups lose out – solo players and small squads can still find niches and meaningful objectives. Victory is often about creativity: combining skills, terrain, fortifications, gadgets and vehicle tactics to outmanoeuvre opponents. Whether leading a warband or fighting solo, every player has the chance to make an impact. They can ride behemoths, command war machines, and rally their warband.
- Player-driven Global Economy: Warborne’s economic system is designed to be player-driven. A worldwide, cross-region auction house links Asian, European and American servers for seamless trading, letting players profit from a truly global player base. Crafting, research and trade are integral — riches can be made through commerce as well as combat.
- Why it matters: Warborne Above Ashes represents a clear rethinking of MMO PvP for a crowded marketplace: faster access to combat, player-defined economies, persistent faction warfare and freedom from fixed roles. For PvP fans who’ve grown tired of slow progression and cookie-cutter classes, it promises a highly competitive, always-on arena that rewards experimentation and audacity.
Warborne Above Ashes is coming to PC on September 19th.
