Archetype Studios has announced that its fast-paced jetpack shooter that is heavily inspired by Tribes, Midair, will release as a free to play title on Steam on May 3rd. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team has released a brand new trailer that you can watch below.
In Midair, players will be able to use movement to their advantage, outwit their enemy from every angle, build defenses, and fully customize the way they play.
The game will feature up to 16v16 large-scale infantry and vehicle combat, and according to its description teamwork will be essential.
“In Midair it’s critical that you coordinate your assaults for maximum effect. Take down their automated defenses one by one or sneak past the guards and destroy the generator to cripple their base and expose their flag for a quick grab.”
Enjoy!

I presume this is an MMO ?
Wish they made a single player mode as well, because I really enjoyed playing the story Campaign on “Tribes: Vengeance”.
Tribes: Vengeance was a decent first person shooter, imo, and the story mode was also quite lengthy as well (five playable characters).
Not an MMO just a Multiplayer FPS in that style of Tribes.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.
Tribes 1 and 2 were great. Tribes: Vengeance did have an interesting story, but Vivendi killed it before it even got a proper patch. -_-
Tribes: Ascend was an interesting T2 “remake”, but…failed.
Yeah, I’ve heard that the first two titles, Tribes 1 and 2 were actually pretty good, but since I don’t play Multiplayer/online mode, I never bought those two games.
I’ve only played Tribes: Vengeance from this series.
Tribes 1 (or Starsiege: Tribes) would be quite rough today, but it had some really nice maps and a great sense of speed. Tribes 2 limited the speed tricks if I recall correctly, but had more and better controllable vehicles, lots of new gadgets and the game itself had its own e-mail system, Clan pages, etc. all from inside the game. Those were the days (of 2001 :P). 🙂
Now if I’m not mistaken, we have TribesNext which is Tribes 2 revived, but I haven’t checked it in years.
Graphics are lacking but I’d forgive that if the performance is good. If it runs like Ascend or better then that’s a win and I won’t complain. Will try it out. In terms of gameplay, how is inheritance in this? I got used to the 100% inheritance fusor in Ascend and I don’t feel like going back to partial inheritance, it just feels wrong.
I know inheritance has been a big topic of discussion since the very early days. Currently I think the basic weapons have different levels of inheritance (100% for chaingun, maybe 50%? for ring launcher) but to be honest it’s been several months since I’ve logged in, so all that might have changed by now.
game is terrible and crashes a lot
