What is Jumpgate Evolution?
Jumpgate Evolution is a Massive Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) set in a science-fiction persistent world. Jumpgate takes all of the highly successful elements of the space action genre and brings them into a fully online universe accessible by thousands of people simultaneously from around the world.
What is an MMOG?
MMOG stands for massively multiplayer online game. MMOGs allow thousands of players to adventure and socialise together at the same time. In Jumpgate Evolution, you will be one of the thousands of players interacting with each other every day. This creates a living environment populated by people across the world.
Will you need an internet connection to play Jumpgate Evolution?
Yes.
How many languages will the game be localised in?
In addition to being available in English, the game will be fully localised into French and German.
How does Jumpgate differ from other MMOGs?
Jumpgate differs from other MMOGs in many ways. While most current generation Massive Multiplayer Online Games take advantage of traditional turn-based combat systems, Jumpgate utilises a fully immersive "twitch-based" system which allows the player to engage combat in a ship-to-ship action orientated style. Jumpgate is also highly accessible allowing it to run on a range of low spec PCs, and has an endless stream of content with an innovative mission generator mechanic so players will never find themselves having nothing to do. All of this, as well as massive scale player vs. player battles, advanced Artificial Intelligence and a starter experience that requires no complicated tutorial allows Jumpgate to take the MMO space genre in a whole new direction.

Yes, you will be able to play Jumpgate with keyboard & mouse, joysticks and game controllers.
