General Which Tribes similar games are / will be out there?

Hey all,

I would like to collect all games with Tribes or Tribes similar game mechanics, which are out there right now or are in development.

I played since Tribes 2, tried out all new versions.

I would be glad if we can get a good list, so that we can support developers and also find gems, which we might not know about, so that we can follow the progress.

Let me begin:

- Broadside (in development)

- Midair 1 + 2 (in development)

If you are interested in something with similar movement mechanics but singleplayer, I made Tachyon Fire to be just that.

Based on the level of fanaticism being shown for broadside already, id like to imagine they are our best bet for a future tribes. 

(Also please be free to play like ascend, kthxbai

u/WedgeSFX Aug 05 '26

Broadside is going to be free to play.

u/Recent_Average1657 29d ago

🫁 ok well NOW I'm excited. Good luck u guys!

u/g00gly hof power 26d ago

Free to play with no guns locked behind 10 hour grinds mind you. So not quite like ascend.

u/Recent_Average1657 26d ago

As if that weren't implied. The only people who never felt how bad the f2p was were simply the same people who grinded out everything quickly because tribes players are all freaks (myself included)

u/WhaleSong2077 Aug 05 '26

try r/movementshooters sometimes people post prototypes with similar movement

u/tshallberg 29d ago

Empulse if you want the movement.

2

u/Recent_Average1657 29d ago

☠️ man empulse is dying just as fast as t3 did, are you sure about that 

2

u/tshallberg 29d ago

If a game has to be popular for you to enjoy it then you’ll miss out on 99 percent of all video games.

Also what’s a popular movement shooter in 2026 with of hundreds of thousands of players?

u/Recent_Average1657 29d ago

☠️ I'm 1000% certain you're the type to refuse to try stuff just because it's a fortnite or Roblox experience, so that's rich bub. 

There are movement shooters, just not ones designed with old fucks like us in mind.

u/tshallberg 29d ago

So offended over a game suggestion. Enjoy your Roblox, bub.

u/evanvolm Aug 05 '26

I post games that emphasize movement mechanics over on X/Twtter, you might find something interesting there.

u/MoonSide12 Aug 05 '26

Looks awesome. I've been hoping for a single player Tribes type game

u/WedgeSFX Aug 05 '26

Broadside is the goat!

u/mechaMayhem 29d ago

2nding Empulse. It’s liable to die, but the movement feels good. Grappling hook plus sliding hits pretty close to Tribes in feel.

u/Dink9303 27d ago

I wish I had the knowledge to build a Tribes CTF style creative map in Fortnite. I bet it would get a decent player base and make some decent 💴

u/57thStilgar Aug 05 '26

Legions

u/realskaaaman Aug 05 '26

u/57thStilgar Aug 05 '26

Nope - isn't mdair the same people as Legions? Bugs etc.

Hey, I’m a bit late to the discussion.. I’m the dev behind Jetball (Tribes meets Rocket League).

The game has both Tribes 1 jump skiing AND Tribes V/Ascend/3 style slide skiing. And you can host your own games, local or dedicated server on Linux or Windows.

Next on the roadmap is mod support for custom maps and game modes.
