Guide to Fragmentary Order's ARG-driven founders program: how cor3.gg ranks players, what early-access placement looks like, and what is still unconfirmed about the late 2026 closed alpha.
Rant Gaming is the independent studio building Fragmentary Order, founded by Nikita Buyanov as a separate company from Battlestate Games with a roughly 130-person team and visual direction by Aaron Beck.
Hardcore sci-fi multiplayer first-person combat simulator from Rant Gaming and publisher Cor3, created by Nikita Buyanov. Set in 2251, players remotely pilot disposable clone soldiers called Replicated Entities through contested zones across the Solar System under the CORIE framework. Built on Unreal Engine 5, with a closed alpha targeted for late 2026.
Timeline of how Fragmentary Order was announced, from the January 2026 cor3.gg ARG riddles through the April 12, 2026 lore trailer drop.
High-level overview of how Fragmentary Order plays: a hardcore combat simulator built around a four-step loop of infiltrate, complete objectives, scavenge, and extract alive. Player versus player combat through remotely piloted clones, complex health and weapon systems, large maps with vehicles alongside smaller close-quarters maps, and a neo-economic progression of credits, faction reputation, and unlocking new layers of the world.
Replicated Entities (RepEnt) are the disposable clone soldiers players remotely operate from secure bunkers in Fragmentary Order. Covers the controller frame, disposability, PvP model, and CORIE risk economy.
CORIE is the global system through which warfare, technology, and economics are structured, monetized, and traded as commodified risk in Fragmentary Order. Operated by Core under the principle that value is defined by risk, it underpins contracts, payouts, and the strategic struggle over distributed CORIE nodes as rival factions emerge.
Map design direction announced for Fragmentary Order: large zones targeted at roughly four to five times the size of the largest Escape from Tarkov maps, smaller close-quarters maps planned alongside them, vehicles confirmed for traversal of the bigger spaces, and contested zones spread across the Solar System with Mars referenced in early coverage.

The Fragmentary Order universe is set in 2251, more than two centuries after humanity narrowly avoided a near-collapse in the early twenty-first century. The megacorporation Core unified the surviving world governments, drove Solar System colonization, and pioneered the advanced biotech that underpins the game's clone-soldier gameplay. By 2251, Core's monopoly is fracturing and rival factions are emerging to seize control of the CORIE framework.
Core is the dominant megacorporation of the Fragmentary Order universe. It rebuilt humanity after a 21st-century collapse, unified world governments, drove Solar System colonization, and operates the CORIE framework. By 2251 it is fracturing internally as rival factions emerge to seize CORIE nodes.
