Community12 Jun 2026New Gameplay Trailer - Residuum Missions in Warped UniverseWith the new Residuum maps included in our recent patches, we decided to make a new gameplay trailer, now added to the Steam page as well as here on Youtube: Residuum is everything in Warped Universe. It is the source of all matter and life, and you need it to expand the solar system. These missions matter because that resource gets fed into the Planet Printer built into the underside of Nexus…

Since we previously put up a spaceflight combat gameplay trailer, it's now time for a ground combat one. This is a peek into how chaotic things get when void tears open up and enemies start swarming. The fun is when everything starts to go sideways. Come experience it on May 6 when we go into Early Access. We've got more coming after launch too, like new skills that tap into the light and gravi…
May 6th is the Early Access date. It's coming fast, and if we're being honest, the studio is sitting somewhere between nervous and excited right now, probably closer to both at the same time. We're in that final stretch where you're just grinding through the list, trying to make sure everything is where it needs to be before real players are actually in the game. This month was a big balance pa…
We've made a lot of progress on space in terms of both visuals and gameplay. More environments to explore, more debris and stuff to fly around, ship trails and visuals improved, and better controls. We also have drift mode for spaceships now, which is really fun while in battle. So, we made a new gameplay trailer featuring just space flight in Warped Universe. It's the second video in our Steam…
February was all about pushing gameplay forward. This month we rolled out a complete revamp of space missions and maps, alongside major improvements to enemy AI, combat flow, performance, and just overall making the game feel better. The result is a faster, more reactive, and more continuous combat experience across both real-time and turn-based gameplay. Space has seen the biggest transformati…
We ran The Great Simulation March 11-18 and the testers delivered. For those who missed it, we compressed a full 4 month season into one week to stress test the solar system metagame from start to finish. Here's where the system landed by the end of the week: · Population: 902,104 · Power Plants: 20/20 · Farms: 20/20 · Housing: 20/20 · Spaceports: 6/6 · Research: 30/30 · Factories: 58/58 · Seas…
The Great Simulation Kicks Off Now MARCH 11-18 A full season runs about 4 months. We're doing it in one week. Progression and unlocks are accelerated so you can actually see how everything connects. Sectors, planets, pylons, exploration. Every mission feeds the system. This will help players see how their actions affect all in the Universe, and also helps the team stress test progression and ma…
We just dropped a new look at Warped Universe. We made a new gameplay trailer with footage directly from testing our latest build. Early Access is coming soon. If you haven't wishlisted yet, now's a good time. And if you want to talk to the team directly, we're always on Discord:
After taking in a great deal of feedback from testers, the primary focus of January was on adding variability to the gameplay on ground missions. Previously, we had one enemy type, and although missions were played on different facilities and planets, they felt repetitive with the same enemy type each mission. So, a major focus was on adding new enemy variants. You now have different ways of be…
The past two months have been all about strengthening the core of Warped Universe while bringing the game to life. Across November and December, we focused heavily on the new-player experience, progression systems, combat depth, UI clarity, audio immersion, and long-term engagement, laying a stronger foundation as we close out 2025. Nexus Station received one of its biggest updates yet with a b…
For the last few months we have been gearing up for Steam Next Fest on October 13–20. For PC games, it is considered one of the most important events in a new game’s marketing and exposure prior to release. Next Fest requires a demo version of the game, and for the game to not be released or in Early Access yet. We fit the bill, and worked hard to provide a proper demo experience of Warped Univ…

From the dark ruins of an ancient tragedy, a mysterious, lonely entity reaches across space and time to those who would remake a reality… After over two years of development, Warped Universe is ready to invite players to step through the portal. Heed the call. Become a Champion of the Oracle. Available for the first time to the public exclusively for Steam Next Fest, a demo version showcasing t…
We’re beyond excited here at Warped Games. Our dream of making a game is finally becoming a reality. September marked a huge milestone: for the first time, people outside our team were able to download and play Warped Universe, experiencing the full gameplay loop for themselves. Our closed beta launched last month, and the response was incredible. The first wave of testers stormed the portal an…
We recently had a chance to show off our latest demo in Germany on August 20-24 in Germany. Team Liquid had a large booth with multiple gaming stations set up for people to try our game (and a few others) for the first time. Our CEO Adam was there to answer questions and bring the crowd up to speed on our history, the team, and our vision for Warped Universe. The traffic was constant from morni…
This month has been all about momentum. Planets, missions, and the systems that tie it all together. Our third Planet (official name incoming) is well underway, with fresh terrain, environmental effects, and some seriously mind-bending rocks and trees. Facility design is expanding fast, and our mission system is starting to feel fully alive.. Players will notice smoother targeting, better feedb…
Another month in the bag here at Warped, and this month was heavily focused on gameplay and player experience. Gameplay, progression, maps, enemies, loadouts, and almost all other areas of where games become “fun” were leveled up this month. There was a point where everyone on the team started talking about how it suddenly was more fun and it felt rewarding to play. It wasn’t just testing, it w…
“The earliest builders and engineers of Nexus Station were too few to specialize. Teams were sent out for exploration and construction as necessity demanded. Now that we have a steady and diverse population, people are free to engage in any purposeful exploits which they may see fit. That is, as long as what they see fit involves fighting for their life while they build and defend our vital out…
“The ones who created me are long gone. There is very little evidence that they were ever here, except for my existence. For millennia that intergalactic culture flourished in peace. But I was blind to the predilection of sentience towards self-agency. I did not do enough, or do it right. A storm had been building, and one day it broke” - The Oracle A restless and uneasy Council of Citizens was…
“Every time I go out I’m looking for that rare Spark. That rare Core. As good as this gear is, it can always be better. Better gear means more Sparks and Cores. It’s a cycle, man.” - ECHO grunt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balancing stats in any game is tough. Balancing them in a new game, especially one as complex…
