Star Sonata 2

Star Sonata 2 is a free-to-play space sandbox MMO from Landauer Games, blending action combat, RPG progression, and empire creation. Unlike many MMOs, combat is directly piloted rather than queued, with players manually dodging fire as they explore, trade, pirate, bounty hunt, or build persistent bases, colonies, and empires, competing for the Emperor's Throne. Originally a long-running client-based game, it released a free-to-play Steam version on June 12, 2020, and continues to receive substantial content patches as recently as mid-2026.
