About the Game

MERIDIAN is a cinematic on-rails space shooter inspired by classic arcade starfighter games, combining fast-paced aerial combat, dramatic sci-fi storytelling, and stylish anime-inspired characters.

Pilot the SF-A7B Lancer, a high-performance Stellar Fleet fighter capable of shifting between atmospheric flight and high-speed space combat. Fly across planet surfaces, dive through orbital battlefields, destroy enemy fleets, and uncover the hidden truth behind the fall of the Meridian constellation.

Long ago, Meridian was home to advanced civilizations powered by a mysterious artifact. But when other constellations came to claim its power, Meridian collapsed in a devastating war. Years later, a new enemy rises from the ashes, convinced that the Stellar Fleet is hiding the artifact—and they will destroy everything to recover it.

At the center of it all is Meridiana, the daughter of the Stellar Fleet’s highest-ranking captain. A gifted pilot kept away from real missions by her overprotective father, she must finally step out of mission control and into the fight. But the deeper she goes, the more she discovers that the war, the artifact, and her own existence are connected.

Key Features

High-Speed On-Rails Space Combat
Dodge enemy fire, lock onto targets, destroy capital ships, and fight through intense scripted battles designed for speed, precision, and spectacle.

Dual Flight Modes
Use the Lancer’s AeroShift System to adapt between two configurations: wide-wing atmospheric flight for planet-side missions, and compact Vector Mode for fast, efficient space combat.

Cinematic Missions Across Space and Planets
Battle through asteroid fields, orbital warzones, ruined civilizations, enemy bases, and breathtaking planetary landscapes.

A Character-Driven Sci-Fi Story
Follow Meridiana, Adam, Rico “Rabbit” Vex, Kael Vorren, and Admiral Cassian Aurelius as they face the return of an enemy born from the ashes of Meridian.

A Dangerous New Threat
The Ashen Covenant believes the artifact was never destroyed. Led by the ruthless Veyr Khar, they are determined to tear down the Stellar Fleet and reclaim the power they believe was stolen from them.

Arcade Action with Modern Presentation
MERIDIAN blends accessible pick-up-and-play combat with stylish visuals, cinematic camera work, squadron banter, boss encounters, and mission-based progression.

The Stars Remember

The fall of Meridian was supposed to be the end of the war.

It was only the beginning.
