Earth From Another Sun is now Pax Autocratica
Same Steam app, different game. If you backed or bought Earth From Another Sun and cannot find it, this is where it went.

What actually happened
Earth From Another Sun was pitched as an open-world MMO shooter with a Solana-based in-game economy. It spent years in development on the same Steam app ID that now serves Pax Autocratica. Rather than ship it, Multiverse rebuilt the game around a different premise entirely.
| Earth From Another Sun | Pax Autocratica | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Open-world MMO shooter | Single-player colony sim + FPS roguelite |
| Servers | Server-dependent | Runs offline |
| Guilds | Yes | Removed |
| PvP | Yes | Removed |
| In-game token economy | Solana integration | Removed |
| Co-op | n/a (MMO) | Planned for Early Access, not present today |
| Colony management | Not the focus | Half the game |
Why this matters if you are new
Three practical consequences for a player arriving today:
- Old coverage is wrong. Anything written about this game before 2026 describes a product that no longer exists. Videos and previews titled Earth From Another Sun may show mechanics that were cut.
- It explains the co-op question. People assume multiplayer because the game used to be multiplayer. It is not, today.
- The Web3 concern is resolved. If you avoided this game because of the crypto angle, that angle is gone.
If you already owned it
Because it is the same Steam application, an existing purchase of Earth From Another Sun appears in your library as Pax Autocratica. If it is missing, check your library filters before assuming anything — a renamed app sorts under a different letter.
Frequently asked
Is Pax Autocratica the same game as Earth From Another Sun?
It is the same Steam application, renamed and substantially redesigned. It is no longer an MMO and no longer has a blockchain economy.
Why did Earth From Another Sun change its name?
The studio pivoted away from the open-world MMO design. The stated reasoning was that an MMO sandbox brought server load, latency and grind that did not work financially or as a game.
Does Pax Autocratica have NFTs or crypto?
No. The in-game token economy tied to Solana was removed as part of the redesign, along with guilds and PvP.
