Our Plans Are Changing...

Beyond These Stars · published 9 Mar 2026, 21:08 UTC

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Since our last Dev Blog, A LOT has changed, and a fair amount of these changes were shown in our most recent Demo. But we are about to announce the biggest change of all…

We will be skipping over Early Access and going straight to a 1.0 release for Beyond These Stars, THIS YEAR! (Cue the Peep Celebrations!) 🎉

You folks may have a lot of questions, and we totally get that, so let us explain.

While preparing for what was planned to be an Early Access release, we found that many of our systems were complete enough to meet our requirements for a 1.0 release. After LOTS of discussions in-house, we’ve decided that with a final, strong push on content and gameplay, we’ll be able to have a completed version of the game in 2026.

We know you all have been waiting patiently to enter the world of Beyond These Stars, and we're so excited that you'll be able to experience it in a fully realized form, rather than just a chapter of it, with a 1.0 release.

Here's a little sneak peek at some of the things you'll see in 1.0 that you wouldn't have seen in the initial Early Access Launch:

  • You’ll have the full Galaxy to explore on the back of Kewa

  • A bunch of new complex endgame buildings

  • Several new mechanics that make interactions with your peeps much more interesting

  • More space to build your Peep civilisation

  • Spaceships and Planets for your further exploration

  • More planets to settle (oop, planets to settle?? 👀)

  • The full fleshed out story of Kewa and the Peeps

  • Aliens to meet, quests to take, and lore to discover!

  • And so much more!

We’ll be bringing back Dev Blogs very soon, so you can follow along the journey with us to 1.0. We are so SO excited to share those changes and what's coming with you. ❤️

Of course, this is some Kewa-sized news, so if you have any questions, feel free to join our Community Discord and ask away!

Check out the release date trailer below… Recovering from uncertain times, your Peeps find themselves on the back of Kewa - a lonely Space Whale journeying across the universe. Building a c…Community12 Aug 2026Dev Blog #29 - Keeping Kewa HappyOne of the most important things you need to be taking care of during your travels in Beyond These Stars is not just your Peeps, but Kewa themself! Kewa is a sentient being, a giant Space Whale with needs and wants of their own. We learn this close to the start of the game when Kewa ‘zoots’ through space and takes the Peeps far from their home planet. A unique part of our game design is that Ke…Community20 Jul 2026Dev Blog #28 - Settleable PlanetsToday we’re going to take a look at an exciting part of Beyond These Stars that goes far beyond the demo gameplay. In Beyond These Stars you can go, well, beyond the stars! You may be hesitant to leave the comfort of Kewa but beyond the stars (see what I’m doing here) there are habitable planets for you and your Peeps to settle! Once you unlock the ability to travel with Kewa, you’ll gain acces…
