What this product is and who it is for

Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos is a downloadable space combat simulator published by Atari. The game delivers action and simulation gameplay in the Badlands cluster, set 100 years after the original Independence War. It carries an ESRB E rating for animated violence and mild language. Online multiplayer supports up to eight players across DeathMatch and Capture the Flag modes.

What to check on your existing setup before ordering

A Steam account is required for activation and installation of the online game code. The Windows version demands at least Windows XP or Vista, a 1.8 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, and a DirectX 8 compatible 3D graphics card. DirectX 8.0 and 2 GB of available storage space are also mandatory. An optical CD or DVD drive must be present for the game to start, and activation is blocked in numerous listed countries.

What this replaces or upgrades

This title follows the first Independence War, advancing the storyline by a century with a new protagonist seeking vengeance against the Corporations. The innovative interface allows 90 percent of functions to be programmed on a joystick, keyboard, or both, offering deeper control customisation than its predecessor. Players wanting a classic Newtonian physics space sim with robust multiplayer will find the jump worthwhile.

Questions about this item

What comes with the online game code for Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos and is a Steam account needed?

The purchase delivers a downloadable Steam code for model 39051; a Steam account is required for activation and installation, and no physical media is included.

Which version of Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos should I choose if I only see model 39051 listed?

Model 39051 is the single downloadable edition published by Atari; there are no alternate capacities or bundles shown, so this is the only version to select.

Will the 1.8 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM minimums let the game run on a modern Windows PC?

The minimums target Windows XP or Vista with a DirectX 8 graphics card and 2 GB storage; modern systems far exceed these specs, though the launcher still requires an optical drive check to start.
