It is also said to be home to the infamous Huron Blackheart and his piratical Renegade Space Marine warband known as the Red Corsairs as well as a large contingent of Word Bearers Chaos Space Marines and their Chaos Cultist allies who fled there and established a base on the Daemon World of Ghalmek in the early 31st Millennium in the wake of the Horus Heresy's Battle of Calth. ![]() Within the Maelstrom is a region of lawless Wilderness Space containing an estimated twenty-plus Ork Empires, numerous Hrud infestations, and countless Human pirate strongholds. Swirling with Warp-energies that permeate its worlds, this region is riddled with the evil energies of the Warp which slowly poisons those mad enough, or desperate enough, to reside within. With the difficulty of travelling through the region, this area of space became a haven to pirates, criminals and Renegades. Unlike the Eye of Terror which was created by the birth of the Chaos God Slaanesh, the Maelstrom is, as far as Imperial scholars can ascertain, a naturally occurring phenomenon. This area of space is riven with Warp Storms so intense that stellar travel in the region is virtually impossible. The Maelstrom, with the region of Imperial space surrounding it commonly referred to as the Maelstrom Zone (also known by its ponderous Administratum designation Maelstrom Adjacent Autonomous Imperial Resource Extraction Zone Grid 004-357), is a massive and ancient Warp rift located near the galactic core in the Ultima Segmentum. The moment you come up against (but not immediately engage with) a combat situation for example, will be the exact moment - like so many times prior - that the path continues to further deviate and transforms ever further into something more tailored and custom to your own unique play-style.Imperial Departmento Cartographicae map detailing the location of the Maelstrom Zone in the Ultima Segmentum. The game is built around the Toska Engine, a system that reacts instinctively to player-choice and calculates these changes based on real-time decisions. Whether you prefer to practice parkour across rooftops, fight it out on the streets or try to learn the secrets of the tale behind this robot-populated civilisation, the city of Gyre will change and adapt to the way you want to play it. Gyre: Maelstrom primarily centers this around a procedurally-generated city populated by a whopping eight million NPCs, but it's the very fact the city shapes and molds itself around your play-style that is most striking. But while Evodant may want to spin a tale on continually-advancing technology, it's the dwindled presence of humanity - and the resulting consequences that've unfolded between these two eventful periods - and the way Gyre as both a city and a game evolves that can potentially give it a huge step-up above others. ![]() And coupled with a steampunk-like backdrop, fully customizable gameplay and a structural design that evolves the further you get in, there's no denying there are already earnest amounts of material to catch the eye of even the most light-hearted of RPG followers. Canadian developer Evodant Interactive are aiming high with a game that looks not just ambitious, but sounds like it's attempting to wholly add weight and even rewrite the very purpose of the word role within role-playing games.
