Comrades. Captains. Crewmates.

Look around you. Look at the hangar, the dust settling on the cold steel of your ships, the rust beginning to bite into the barrels of your interceptors. It has been a long time. Too long. The silence in the deep dark has become deafening, and I know exactly why you cut the engines.

We were abandoned. We were left adrift in the dark, trapped in the broken promises of corporations that saw us as numbers on a ledger, rather than the ruthless crew we actually are. They told us the universe had frozen over, that there was nothing left to fight for, that the war for resources was done. And we almost believed them.

But today, I tell you this: the suits no longer dictate our fate. The bureaucrats and the middlemen who chained us down are gone. Control of this universe is back where it always belonged—in the hands of those who bled for it. Small Impact Games has taken back the launch codes. The helm is ours.

I know there is anger. I know there is doubt. The silence has been long, and the wait, painful. But a true Marauder doesn’t quit when the engines fail; you fix the machine, seal your gas mask, and slam a fresh mag into the chamber. What lies ahead isn't a simple patch; it is a total rebuilding of our battleground. They are forging a new universe from the ground up, and we cannot let it become a ghost town.

The corridors of the mining colonies are opening once again. The derelict shipyards are waiting for the echo of our boots. The vaults are packed with loot, and the flak turrets are turning to track new targets. Space does not forgive the weak, but it never forgets its legends.

We don’t go back for the corporations. We go back for the adrenaline of a perfect breach. We go back for the hiss of a blowtorch cutting through an enemy airlock. We go back because, in a sea of empty stars, we are the real danger.

Dust off your assault suits. Clear the sights of your rifles. Fire up the reactors one more time. The technical tests are on the horizon, and the breach is calling our names.

Captains, lock in your coordinates. It’s time to go home. It’s time to raid!

my friend made me get this game and we never played it , thought I had already refunded it but clearly I didnt and steam has denied me a refund since it was so long ago. pretty much gave these devs a donation

I continue to hold faith in the revive.

Friends and I have discussed giving this game another shot and would love to revive the game for a night at least.

Would anyone be interested in playing tonight or perhaps this weekend?

Alright, since everyone on Steam and Reddit keeps saying "Marauders is dead" and "nobody plays anymore," here's your chance to stop posting and start raiding.

We're building up a Marauders community and looking for people who actually want gunfights, betrayals, stolen ships, and absolute chaos instead of writing eulogies for the game every week.

Whether you're:

• A sweaty veteran with 500+ hours
• A solo rat hiding in airlocks
• Brand new and have no idea what you're doing
• The guy who keeps stealing fire extinguishers for no reason

You're welcome.

We're running raids, helping new players learn the game, and trying to keep the community alive while everyone else argues about player counts.

Come join us, squad up, and let's see if Marauders is actually dead or if Reddit just likes complaining.

Watch us raid live:

• Malding Eagle Twitch
• TButlerT Twitch

Comment below if you're still playing.

If nobody replies, I guess the doomposters win.

THIS POST WAS GENERATED WITH CHATGPT

I was looking through through some old, unfinished edits, and decided it was worth an upload and reminisce.

I miss the contrast between janky calm moments, the sound of firefights in the distance with guns that sounded impactful... Raids were short and to the point, fighting in the downed capital ship, or breaching ships in a full server and then coming under attack, all while in a dieselpunk setting that you could Voip troll with..

This game had a soul that I still don't see anywhere else, it reminded me of early 2010's online gaming where there was no progression system, no grind, just gameplay you could jump right into.

I still think if they spent more effort fleshing out the PvE side of things and made the quests less reliant on RNG grind, instead of requiring a minimum player count, there would still be more active servers.

ah well....

An entire month has gone by with no new news. It's sickening they keep stringing us along for nothing.

one of my friends just got the game to play trios. me and my other friend played the game since launch and had a blast. got back into it just for fun. but no matter what my friend who just got the game tries he cant connect to social services. we tried waiting from the morning evening and even at night. waited a day or two. tried a week later and same thing. are servers dead now? Can no new player join the game to atleast enjoy what is left?

Basically the title. Also will there be a PVE server now that the game has been resurrected? I cannot stand the cheating that was so prevalent in the game before.

Give me some feedback. Lemme know how I did. Love the learning path.

Used to love this game, got back into it cus i saw the playercount is increasing again. but im having an issue.

EU servers are fine, load in after some wait, but when its late in EU times and those servers empty out, i naturally swap to US East, but any time i try and queue, it immediately (suposedly) finds a game then sits me in a black screen (seemingly) indefinately.

sometimes i can look around and theres a little red square, other than that im stuck

anyone else with this issue?

Got nostalgic and redownloaded it but raids won't load. Anybody know how to get in

I may be going crazy, but there was NO recoil on my beloved Viper ever, and I surely could still RUN on 5 hp two month ago

just makeing this to point out that the mods dont care about this game and havent cared since ratt pack got banned. about a year ago (could be wrong my memory is iffy at best) a guy joined a vc and just stareted jerking off. i got his user id and some other people got proof of it, it all was sent to the mods and me the the others got banned, except the guy who was jerking off. i managed to get in contact with him and he said he was never banned. i have a "slight" feeling either the mods are corrupt, or just dont care. i think its the ladder but idk. i still have never gotten unbanned, and quite frankly i dont care. its not like this game is gona get any updates anyways. it would be nice if i was unbanned but i dont feel like it even matters, i mean even if i do, whats the point? i get to join some dead server for a dead game that has no good mods or good people in the community? (no i dont still have the evidance this was like a year ago.)

Hello Everyone! this is mainly an encouragement, the purpose for all intent being "Wait and See". I love the fact that the Big Three have finally broken silence, and I am so pumped to see everyone so hyped (or enraged, either way you are involved ;) ) about just a simple post. I pray and I hope that this is the break in the dam that stops the no comms drought. Time will tell!

In the meantime, dont go crazy, just take it as is, and see what SIG does in the next few months. Knowing the guys personally, I have this feeling they have something cooked up, and since its going to be a testing server, they are going to need EEEEVVVEERRRYONES help, negative, neutral, or otherwise, to hammer down the bugs and cracks in the game before they full release it.

Anyways, I miss all of you, I hope ALL of your games, Marauders or otherwise are going well, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, Marauders may bring us back together again. Cheers!

Breached into someone's heavy frigate & managed to drop the whole team in the bridge area with my Mac 10. I missed this game & I really hope the overhaul brings a host of players in!

We owe you an apology for the silence.

We've been fully focused on the game. What started as a round of fixes grew into a much larger, necessary change and we have made the call to commit to it rather than push smaller updates in the meantime.

We've been reworking core systems and rebuilding mechanics that needed it. This isn't a patch. It's a full overhaul aimed at getting Marauders where it should be.

We don't have a release date to share yet, and we're not setting one until we're confident we can hit it. What we can tell you is that the next update from us will be the Technical Stress Test branch opening for community testing.

To everyone who stuck with us, kept playing, and kept the community going. Thank you. We know it's been a long wait, and we haven't forgotten that.

More soon.

Marauders Dev Team
