Mankind has survived the biggest tests of time and finally achieved the technological advancements and intellectual capacity to explore worlds beyond our own stars in the upcoming MMO adaptation of the award-winning Asteroids retro game with Asteroids: Outpost. The old-school retro arcade game Asteroids may not seem like the traditional title to convert to an MMO space but Atari promises to rewrite the books with a flurry of fresh and exciting features alongside innovative ideas and advanced mechanics.

Mankind has pushed its presence to the very edge of our solar system as space vessels explore ever crook and cranny with the hopes of locating resource-rich planets, asteroids or other valuable resources that can be sold or traded with other players and NPCs. Mars has been populated with thriving colonies that helped to extend humanities expanding empires into the dark reaches of space.

As humanities reach in the universe increased, as did its need for resources, consumables and fossil fuels. With the Earth's natural resources nearing depletion, industrialists are experimenting with entirely new ways to harvest rare and valuable materials as players explore the massive Asteroid Belt discovered in our solar system, as it quickly became the number one source of all the resources humanity needed to survive.
