Gamescom 2026 Is Here!
Gamescom 2026 officially starts today!
One of the biggest gaming events of the year is kicking off in Cologne, and we’re excited to see what’s coming out of the show this year.
It also feels like a pretty good time to celebrate some Steel Ark news of our own, especially since the Sandbox & Automation Demo Update is now live!
After a long wait, you can finally jump in, explore the expanded world, build your own automated production lines, set up turrets, expand your train, and see what we’ve been working on.
And if you’re attending Gamescom this year, keep an eye out for all the amazing games, developers, and announcements coming out of the event!
Gamescom is here. Steel Ark is here. Let’s go.
