Dual Universe is a sandbox first-person MMORPG set within a seamless Sci-Fi universe made of millions of planets. The world is entirely editable, and the game focuses on massive scale emergent gameplay based around exploration, voxel building, trade, politics and warfare.

NOTE: DUAL UNIVERSE IS CURRENTLY IN PRE-ALPHA DEVELOPMENT

Thanks to procedural generation algorithms, there is no limit to the number of planets and star systems we can generate. As the game grows, so will the Universe, players will discover planets gradually as their spaceships take them further and further from the Arkships. So to answer the question: the Dual Universe is as big as far as you can travel.

Emergent gameplay: Dual Universe is a sandbox first-person MMORPG set within a seamless Sci-Fi universe made of millions of planets. The world is entirely editable, and the game focuses on massive scale emergent gameplay based around exploration, voxel building, trade, politics and warfare.

Planets may range from a few hundred to thousands of kilometer in radius, so even exploring the surface of just one planet is a big task and would takle a long time to circumnavigate without the right equipment.

Building: Thanks to voxel based technologies, players will be able to build starships, buildings, cities and satellites.

Economy: Universe is realistic and influenced by the masses. Initiate a market exchange, harvest resources and sell them, start an industrial empire, do marketing and logistics, create a bank or your own company

Scriptable ships/constructs: For advanced players, the ability to script any ship/construct (LUA) to redefine how it is controlled, from navigation to weapon systems. You can even script your own A.I. to assist you!

FreeWifi!!: Oct 11, 2013; Okay, that's true. Good point, Marquess. Point for you. But you get a point taken away for being a dick. So, back to zero.

For one this isn't an mmorpg because there are going to be something like a billion planets and the likelihood of actually meeting someone else without planning it out outside the game are slim. Also isn't this just going to be a fancier No Man's Sky?
