The Game
Your victories matter beyond the match.
You are a mech pilot. You have a faction. You have a rank. You have people who depend on you. Your reputation outlasts any single session.
The Reach: Unknown is a persistent mech war. Join one of five factions, or fly alone as a Torrath mercenary, and fight for ground on a contested world. Every match feeds a war that never ends. The community is the story.
-
01
The clan is the game
Up to fifty pilots under one name. You fly for them, and they remember who showed up.
-
02
Consequence matters
Wins and losses move the line on the map. The war keeps the score.
-
03
Honor is mechanical
How you fight counts, not only whether you win.
-
04
Weight and permanence
Mechs have mass, loadouts have a price, and the map never resets.
-
05
The universe never finishes
Most of The Reach is unmapped. Every season the front pushes into new ground.
- Free to play
- Closed beta on Windows & Mac
- iOS and Android to follow

The Reach
The nearest star to Earth, and an Earth-like world in its light.
The Archive is bound for it on a 32.63-year voyage: the first home humanity has found since Earth failed. Every faction aboard wants to claim it. Nobody has agreed on who has the right.

Archive record · The Reach
Five lands on one world, chained along one river. Where the rivers meet, every land comes closest to the others: the ground the war will be fought over hardest.

Navigation · The crossing
32.63 years. Awake.
There was no cryosleep. People lived, worked, aged, had children and died on the way, and every faction was born in those years.

Aboard · Five factions
Nobody was born into a faction. Every member chose.
-
Honor
Kashiro
“We failed because we let small things go. Precision is honor.”
-
Dominion
Valdron
“We failed because we were divided. Unity is survival.”
-
Shadow
Darvyn
“We failed because we believed what we were told. Information is the only honest currency.”
-
Pack
Gorvik
“We failed because we each looked after our own. The pack eats first.”
-
Foundation
Shenvong
“We failed because we never built anything that could hold. What holds, saves.”
Or join none of them. Decline all five and you fly Torrath: a mercenary, and free.
