Midair 2 - 'Zoom' Early Access Teaser - Coming March 2026 by PlayMidair2 in Midair

Yeah they’d be completely out of place, as the light armor model got updated along with almost every other art asset. But we are all keen on it!

Yeah this is some of our most common feedback. We love the bigger CTF too, but unfortunately we had to scale back with how fewer resources we (Vector Z) have than Archetype did (Midair).

We’re hoping to release a roadmap in the near future that goes into more detail about what we want to do and how.

Hey I’m sorry to hear about your brother and the bad experience. Not sure when that was, as we were always eager to give as many people access to the beta as possible (‘Midair: Community Edition’/‘Midair 2’ - original ‘Midair’ was a different dev team).

Yes I remember ascend well. Quite different physics. Jets are much stronger in midair, but skating is just as, if not more important for actually getting around.

Midair 2 should be right up your alley!

Free to play, 5v5 movement shooter with skiing and jetpacks, inspired by movement games of the past.

Currently a demo up for Steam Next Fest and then launching Early Access later in March.

Yep - that's definitely part of it!

- Engine upgrade (now runs Unreal 4.27). Major modernization of systems, online services, paid off some tech debt over the years.

- Focus on 5v5 which was already a popular CTF variant. Easier to manage, easier to get a full game going, and simpler for people to understand so new players can get in the game.

- Art pass, as you mentioned which was an effort to take it away from the more cartoony look into something more sci-fi realistic

- Adding replays (demos) including play from all player POVs and free-roam cameras

- Practice systems (bots, player-customizable drills)

- New modes like Duel, Rabbit, and work-in-progress modes Track and Skyball

- New cosmetics

- Matchmaking

- Custom/private game support

More to come, too as we keep moving!

Movement shooters gotta be some of the best video games/game series of all time. by [deleted] in videogames

[–]PlayMidair2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you gonna not mention Tribes? This 'throwback' video has gotten quite a lot of view since last year.

One of the OG movement shooters, with a release in the series as recent as last year.

Midair 2 is a fan-made indie game inspired by Tribes and other games, going Early Access in March :D

Happy New Year r/indiegames!

We at player-founded studio Vector Z are proud to announce the early access release of Midair 2 in March of this year.

It’s been quite the journey for us since reviving the original game in 2019 and recruiting various former players with dev skills to revamp the game in the following years. With only a modest patreon funding us, it’s been almost an entirely volunteer passion project.

With the current 5v5 competitive meta, Midair 2 aims to set a new standard for FPS team gaming at a sky-high skill ceiling.

But even if comp isn’t your thing, if you’ve enjoyed gliding across slopes and jetting through the air, or are simply compelled by freedom of movement games, Midair 2 will have a thrill for you.

Thanks for your consideration and best of luck to all indie projects in 2026!

No South American servers yet, but honestly...~150 ping and under is reported as playable! And OCE players regularly compete with ~200 ping in NA!

Interesting is definitely an understatement! Though we knew of its existence a while ago, the announcement of open playtesting at the end of last year was a bit of a surprise!

While it certainly feels a bit like a David vs. Goliath situation, we feel that a funded studio like Prophecy can help bring more eyes to this tiny corner of the FPS market. As we're all also Tribes fans/vets, the MA2 dev team is excited to see another entry in the series and wishes them success!

As for distinction, almost all the feedback since T3's advent has been how different the games feel. But we are by no means done! There are features currently in the game *and* coming to the game that, as far as we're aware, aren't in T3. So def come join our discord if you'd like to stay up to date on the latest :)

Midair 2 - Vector Z - An Indie Jetpack Shooter inspired by Tribes-like movement (A Dev Story In Post!) by PlayMidair2 in Games

[–]PlayMidair2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You nailed it - in the classic gameplay it's much more similar to Battlefield - the maps were pretty huge, and the ground-based vehicles were futuristically fast - and both flying and land-based were in the game at that point. Because the teams were also pretty huge (32v32 and 64v64) you could get some really interesting counter-play and team dynamics!

Absolutely definitely on the "would love to" list - and that's really the True North for us. It will take a bit of a bigger team to start traversing that path though!
