Upcoming Playtests and Development Updates

ZeroSpace · published 5 Jan 2025, 19:29 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Commanders, we hope you had a great time over the holidays! We have two upcoming playtests, a closed Backer Test and a Free Demo during Steam’s RTS Festival!

Backer Playtest: January 10 - 16


This will be a closed playtest, available to backers that supported ZeroSpace at the Solar Monarch tier or higher. This playtest will feature the latest updates, and while streaming won’t be permitted during this period, we’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!

Free Demo: January 20 - 27


This weeklong demo will be available to everyone during Steam’s RTS Fest! We welcome streaming and sharing gameplay footage during this time!

As you dive into the playtests, we’d love to hear from you! Join us on Discord to share your feedback, report any bugs, and suggest ideas.

Don’t have early access yet? Consider supporting us on Backerkit! A pledge level of Solar Monarch or higher gets you instant access to the playtests, and the full game on release: https://bit.ly/ZeroSpaceBackerKit

New Legion Unit


Kraegar now has a pet! After Mondar and Torq we decided that 2 Heroes-in-one is an interesting, working concept. As expert hunters, they can clear and capture XP towers significantly faster than most other heroes, offering players a strong early game.

Kraegar's pet also has avenues to scale into later portions of the game via synergies with other legion Beasts like the Exalted Rider and an additional new beast which will be shown during this upcoming playtest!

Map Updates


For better stylization and visual clarity, we’ve updated the grass across a few maps - check out the difference on the map Tenebris!

In-Game Model Updates


The Protectorate, Marran, and Dread Raider’s in-game models have been refreshed with new textures!

Campaign Progress

We’ve been working on new campaign missions and cinematics!
