Remnant protocol isn't just a flight sim: Think XCOM meets TIE Fighter, with rebel command strategy layers that see players forging alliances, researching new tech, and manufacturing ships of all shapes and sizes.

If all this sounds like your cup of tea, you can wishlist Remnant Protocol now on Steam to stay up to date with the game's development until it drops in March next year.
