G:Into The Rain - Chapter One in the Arc Saga

G is the first of three prologue stories to the console game Arc. It is set several decades before that desperate race against time. Set between 3919-3920, G introduces humanity to The Rain - an enigmatic cloud of gas, minerals and ice many times the size of our own solar system. Observed for many years, it has finally drawn close enough to be explored and claimed. Join with one of 10 corporations and chart the riches of The Rain or check in on the corporation leaderboards to see how much has been explored so far.

F - Chapter Two in the Arc Saga

Currently in development, F is set roughly ten years after the story told in G. The exploration of The Rain has turned to exploitation as the ten corporations race to squeeze every ounce of profit they can from the remarkably rich environment of gas and ice and rare minerals.

Game play in F is completely different from G though the two games share a common world setting. F is a 3D game that puts you in the pilot's seat of a corporate collection tug. Assigned to a mobile collection platform you must drive icteroids, condensates and rare ingots of gold and palladium.

Making matters worse are pirates, competitive corporations and the wickedly dangerous nature of the work itself. Load the well up too quickly and you risk blowing a hole into subspace.

E - Chapter Three in the Arc Saga

So far, just about everything about E is well under wraps...all except the name. For now we can only say that E is set another decade into our storyline and will be very different from its kissing cousins. But...maybe we'll share just a hint...sub critical-mass nukes.

As The Rain rolls more and more into the solar system, it's getting thicker and thicker. What were once intriguing balls of snow and gravel have grown to threatening icebergs. The people of Ptah must organize a defense even as they continue to cut one another's throats to get at the deep riches of The Rain.

Arc - The conclusion

Arc is a fast-paced race against time as your mining ship is shanghaied into a desperate plan to evacuate a dying planet. Play as a pilot, gunner, or any number of other positions on a ship built for cargo, not for refugees; the choice is yours, but pulling this off will take a well-integrated team, each who knows their specialty and each able to work together.

When it's all said and done, Arc will be an exciting console game that ties off this epic story line without giving you time to catch your breath. Keep an eye out here for more on this exciting game as we move forward in the series.
