Fractured Online was a sandbox MMORPG by Dynamight Studios that reached full release in July 2024 after a long early access. Its worlds were separate planets with a day-night cycle, roaming monsters and settlements built by players.
Combat played like a single-player action RPG, with manual aiming and dodging. Its 400-plus abilities were unlocked through knowledge, partly by defeating enemies, and before heading out you chose which set to memorize. Every item was player-crafted, traders hauled goods to distant markets, and cities had elected governors. Competitive PvP took place on asteroids reached through stargates.
The servers went offline on June 15, 2025: Happy Cauldron Games, the new owner of the studio, chose to rebuild the game, and characters were not carried over. The rebuild became Fractured Conquest, a buy-to-play MMO about ongoing war between three factions.
