Project Rebellion is a Windows platform-based game built in the Unreal Engine that will be first available as a free demo on steam. Project Rebellion takes inspiration from classic MMORPGs, especially Anarchy Online. We’ve already brought many of those old-school systems to life, with new features and mechanics still in the works.

The Story
On the frontier world of Karn-Tau, the interstellar megacorporation Ultimek initiated a sweeping colonization campaign driven entirely by the promise of enormous profit. Beneath the planet’s weathered surface lies Omnindium, a hyper-dense nuclear element capable of powering starships for centuries. To secure this rare resource, Ultimek deployed vast numbers of corporate citizens, contract laborers, and engineered workers to establish its newest corporate stronghold.
Karn-Tau, however, was not empty.
Long before Ultimek charted the system, the world had been settled by the Volklan, a branch of the Soling species who migrated there in ancient times. They lived intentionally simple lives, far from empires and far from centralized authority. Their society functioned through mutual aid, shared responsibility, and voluntary cooperation; They were fundamentally Anarchistic.
Ultimek’s arrival brought that way of life to a violent end.
Once the corporation began seizing land, strip-mining sacred territories, and forcing locals into labor camps, the Volklan armed themselves and launched a resistance. This uprising grew into a prolonged insurgency that lasted for decades and was fought across the forests, canyons, and subterranean ruins of Karn-Tau.
Ultimek refused to abandon the planet’s riches. The corporation intensified its Omnindium extraction efforts and expanded its programs in metahuman transplantation, synthetic replication, and clone reconstruction. Workers were promised a version of corporate immortality, since anyone who died in service could be restored through the company’s bio-synthetic systems. Contracts offering wealth and longevity spread throughout the galaxy, attracting Solings from distant worlds to join Ultimek’s campaign and help crush the rebellion.
The result was an era of unending conflict. Karn-Tau became a world trapped between an indigenous people fighting for their survival and a corporation determined to own the future.
Project Rebellion brings a fusion of sci-fi elements, themes, and inspirations, drawing attention to color palettes, art designs, and modular environments. In the distant future of 19,913 AD, anything and everything seems to be possible, and Syonix is committed to bring the Project Rebellion universe to life in a tangible way.
