OUT TO THE BLACK

Out to the Black is an online, multiplayer, persistent-world space game inspired by the classic Asteroids — rebuilt from the ground up for the modern web. No downloads. No installs. Just open your browser and fly.

The galaxy runs 24/7. There are no matches, no lobbies, no waiting. When you sign in, you're dropped into a living world where hundreds of asteroids drift under gravity, AI-controlled ships patrol faction territories, and other players are mining, fighting, building, and competing for the top of the leaderboard.

Choose a faction. Upgrade your ship. Claim asteroids. Build defenses. Climb the ranks. Or go rogue as an Outlaw and answer to no one.

• Persistent World — The galaxy never stops. Your progress, your structures, your rank — they're all waiting when you come back.
• Four Factions — Concordium (law enforcement), Unbound (free traders), Bone Collectors (the swarm), and Outlaws (lone wolves). Each with unique abilities.
• Ship Customization — 8 upgradeable stat categories. Build a tank, a glass cannon, a mining rig, or a balanced all-rounder.
• Three Weapons — Bullets for damage, harpoon for towing and faction abilities, mining laser for resources.
• Base Building — Claim asteroids, build ANTI-AIR turrets, defend your territory. More structures coming.
• AI Autopilot — Set your ship to Mine, Patrol, Defend, or Build while you focus on strategy.
• Dynamic Events — Gravity storms, Blood Moon purges, and hit-list bounties keep every session unpredictable.
• Play Anywhere — Desktop and mobile. Same game, same galaxy, same experience. No app download required.
