The breakout popularity of Escape from Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown is starting to inspire other developers, and one is taking the concept into space. Marauder is a game currently in development by a small UK-based team of developers, and it casts players in the role of a cutthroat space pirate in an alternative post-WW2 universe where humanity decided to to head to space in Sherman tanks.
In Marauder, you'll either join a crew of fellow space pirates or go it alone in a zone full of derelict spacecraft and asteroid mining colonies. The idea is to get aboard, steal anything that isn't nailed down, and get the hell out of dodge. The trouble is, these locations aren't exactly vacant: as in Escape from Tarkov, you may find either computer-controlled NPC enemies, or heavily armed players who are after the same loot that you are.
Marauder is set in a unique sci-fi universe that the developers say is part post-WW2, part dieselpunk - and the weapons aren't the usual high-tech energy beam weapons we've come to expect in sci-fi settings. Instead, the designs are based on real-world weapons like the PPSh-41 (which should be introduced into Escape from Tarkov before long) and Colt 1911 pistol.
