Hold the line — the galaxy is calling. Gameforge has today unveiled Project Orion, the most ambitious content drop in the history of its legendary free-to-play space strategy MMO OGame, bringing PvE combat, wave-defence warfare, and a wealth of fresh features to the cosmos. Public testing is live right now across browser and mobile platforms, with full rollout scheduled for November.
Defend the Anomaly — Wave by Wave
At the heart of Project Orion lies an all-new wave-defence system, the first time players have faced NPC enemies in the game’s 24-year history. Commanders must secure mysterious anomaly locations against relentless, escalating fleets of computer-controlled foes — ranging from pirate raiders to terrifying Deathstars. Hold each position, repel every assault, and claim valuable loot with every wave defeated.
- 25+ mission types — from brutal fleet assaults to resource-run operations, each requiring distinct tactics and fleet setups
- Scaling threat — enemy composition and strength grow alongside your Interstellar Anomaly Scanner level; no two missions play exactly the same
- Rich rewards — earn ships, resources, Dark Matter, Lifeform XP, and even premium items for every successful defence
- Public peril — all missions are visible to everyone in the universe; rivals can contest your claim, steal your location, or attack your fleet mid-defence — PvE and PvP collide in real time
- Alliance co-op — team up with up to four other commanders to tackle the toughest anomalies and share the spoils
New Resources, New Choices
Project Orion reshapes your empire management with Lithium, a brand-new strategic resource produced by converting Metal, Crystal, Deuterium, or surplus Lifeform food. Lithium powers all Orion operations and cannot be traded or stolen — making efficient conversion and planning your key to dominance. A new Control Centre offers nine upgradeable structures dedicated to boosting your Orion capabilities, while a refreshed mission interface and tutorial guide ensure even veteran commanders find their bearings.
