We are crafting an open-world, sandbox PvPvE game, in an original IP.  Players will build a reputation for themselves and for their crew through everything they do, building a stronger community that is tempered through adversity.

The Raid Base team is made of developers who actively play games, and we established this studio to begin a more intimate dialogue with our players.  If you are a developer who believes that studios need to have a deeper connection with and respect for players, we would love to hear from you.
