Threats come from all angles and Boundary makes astronaut combat more akin to dogfighting where angle of attack and position can make the difference between life and death.

  • Weapon customization system that allows players to upgrade and modify weapons to best suit their playstyle with stocks, grips, scopes, barrels, and ammo types 
  • A varied selection of multiplayer maps that are heavily inspired by real life industrial technology and space exploration
