From the days of the voxel-based battle builder Ace of spades, people have longed for a spiritual successor to the cult classic. While many games like Crackdown 3 and Battlefield 2042 promised players destruction and mayhem on the same scale as the game mentioned above, all that came of it was disappointment and mistrust. Fortunately, at the same time that some of these AAA games were being produced, there were two brothers who had a specific goal in mind. They wanted to create a game that combined the voxel-based properties of Ace of Spades with the fast-paced gunplay of Battlefield. Fast forward two years after the initial closed beta launch in 2020, and sector edge is currently in Steam Early Access.

From the mind of 2 brothers from Sydney, Australia, sector edge is a 12v12 skill based FPS with fully destructible environments. Originally releasing a closed version of the game in 2020, the idea was to take the Battlefield building blocks and merge them with the Ace of Spades building blocks. It combines the battle build of Ace of Spades with the loading system and highly-skilled gunplay mechanics of the Battlefield series.

Using a proprietary engine and assets, the development team brothers vercide they have shown that their first and foremost priority with Sector’s Edge is to make sure the game feels right when players log in. Added to this is the fact that they have over 24 dedicated server locations around the world. Clearly the team sees this as a long-term investment for them. Anyone who wants to demolish a 10-story skyscraper should head over to Steam right now to start downloading and playing. For others, this is definitely a game to watch in the near future.

Sector’s Edge is currently available in Steam Early Access for Windows PC.
