Originally published by GDW as an updated replacement for ''Traveller''{{Citation needed|date=October 2023}}, eschewing classic [[space opera]] to take inspiration from the grittier contemporary [[hard science fiction]] media of the 1980s. The first edition was named ''Traveller: 2300'', which incited both confusion and criticism since the game carried over neither the rules nor setting of its namesake. The second edition was renamed ''2300 AD'', and added some [[cyberpunk]] rules and adventures. It is presented as a future extrapolation of the speculative [[World War III]] of GDW's popular military role-playing game ''Twilight: 2000''. In the ''2300 AD'' setting, interstellar travel is relatively new, Earth is still divided into nation-states, and the most powerful nations are competitively exploring and colonizing the fifty light-year sphere of surrounding space. Mongoose Publishing released a sourcebook for the setting in 2012 that adapted it to their version of the ''Traveller'' rules.
