Our V1.4.0 content update is finally here with the freshly-minted Decked Out Update. Here's what to expect with this (literally) huge update: Features Decker Grinder Decker, aka "Salvage, Dicer, or Last Boss," has been called many things in its various aliases within VOX, but none of those roles were ever player-controllable. That’s about to change with the Decked Out Update, where we’ll put you in the hot seat of this big beauty. Here's a taste of the unique awesomesauce Decker will bring to the table: Big Guns: 2 Large mounts and 2 Fixed. Good luck with the bindings!

- Big Bang Update - 30 November 2022
Big Bang Update With 2022 slowly coming to an end, team Space Bullet have decided to kick things up with a bang. Today we’re releasing our Big Bang Update for Vox Machinae, and boy-oh-boy it’s a doozie.

- Hoverbrawl Content Update - 29 June 2022
Hoverbrawl 2.0 is Here Today. June 29, 2022 Our latest content update is out now so let’s talk about it's main feature; Hoverbrawl 2.0. Yeah you read right, we’ve taken our frustrating soccer-style game mode and are making it tolerable great! Heck, even the bots weren't quite sure how to play the old one. That’s why we’re building out a whole new core concept to hoverbrawl and unifying the mechanics in an all-hands effort to make it the most fun mode in VOX. In the old version of hoverbrawl the ball wasn’t exactly the easiest thing to bat around. Not only did it hover frustratingly too high to interact with terrain/players, it was also difficult to get going in the direction it needed to go. How is hoverbrawl 2.0 different/better? Read on to find out! Key Improvements: The Carrier To put it simply, we’re going to let players carry the ball around by tethering to it. Any player who gets…

So here it is, out there for all to bask in its final glory. What’s Coming Next? Though the game has finally received its stamp of v1.0 finality, we’re really only just getting started with our post-release roadmap. Our first content update is coming soon, and here’s just a few sneak peak highlights of what to expect when that drops: HoverBrawl 2.0 - Think of this as a brand new take on the concept; featuring completely redesigned gameplay mechanics driven by a renewed focus on making it the most fun mode o…

- Vox Machinae + Campaign = Soon - 3 February 2022
Feb 03, 2022 - We hear people like stories... Ok so the truth is, we’ve been secretly developing an epic solar system-spanning singleplayer story campaign for Vox Machinae for over 2 years now. What a relief to finally get that out there, such a load to get off of the ol’ chest. What’s that? You want to know all the details of what you can expect to see from this new chapter of Vox Machinae and how we came to this point? Well you came to the right place, here’s the lowdown. Here's What We're Going for: Story Scale The scale of Vox was always meant to be massive. Massive mining grinders that were housed in massive hangars, and serviced by multiple crews. Massive operations, possible only due to oversized conglomerates whose reach spans galaxies.
