ZeroSpace has officially launched in Early Access on Steam.
The Orion Sector is open. Jump into the campaign as Prefect Aster, hold the line against endless waves of Grell in Survival, climb the ranked ladder, compete for territory in Galactic War Season Zero, or test new strategies in skirmish. Download the game and begin shaping ZeroSpace on the road to 1.0.
If you are enjoying the game, the most helpful thing you can do is leave a review on Steam. Positive reviews have the single biggest impact on visibility for us on Steam. Higher visibility brings in more players, and that support is what allows us to keep improving and expanding the game.
Campaign Act 1: 12 missions as Prefect Aster of The Protectorate. Your decisions carry weight across the story.
Galactic War: 10 co-op missions in a persistent, seasonal mode where alliances compete for control of the Orion Sector.
Survival: Team up with a friend and hold out against endless waves of Grell.
Ranked: 1v1 and 2v2 ladder.
Skirmish: 1v1, 2v2, and free-for-all against friends or AI.
Four factions are fully playable at launch: The Protectorate, the Grell, the Legion, and the Xol (the new synthetic civilization available for the first time). Six mercenary factions can be mixed in to expand your army options. The Xol are in an earlier stage of development and will join ranked matchmaking once community balance feedback is incorporated.
Supported languages at launch: English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian.
We will be shipping regular updates throughout Early Access. The image below highlights some of the upcoming changes and features currently planned. Updated roadmaps will continue to be released as development progresses. For the most current information, join our Discord.
Season Zero runs from July 20 through August 2.
Players choose one of three alliances led by Winter, Neo, or uThermal. Every co-op match contributes influence for your chosen side, expanding territory across the galactic map. At the end of the season the alliance with the highest score crowns its creator the first Galactic Emperor.
Participants unlock exclusive portraits and titles. The winning alliance also helps determine the global reward for all players and influences the theme of a future season. A community clip contest is open for players who capture standout moments (Medal.tv and similar tools work well) - top submissions featuring the creators can win cash prizes.
To celebrate our Early Access launch, twelve legendary RTS veterans are going to compete in the First Contact Invitational for a combined $13,000 prize pool.
The competitors are:
Harstem, MaNa, GiantGrantGames, Nathanias, PiG, MarineLorD, TheViper, Lowko, JimRising, UpATree, White-Ra, and JuggernautJason.
From July 20 through August 8, they will race up the ranked ladder. A dedicated invitational leaderboard ranks them against one another, with ladder placement awarding both seeding in a final tournament and cash prizes.
The final tournament will take place Sunday, August 9 at 6:00 PM CEST / 9:00 AM PDT, broadcast live on Wardi’s stream.
Format: 12-player Swiss stage (best-of-2), top four advancing to a playoff bracket with best-of-3 semi-finals and a best-of-5 grand final.
Many of the invitees will stream their ladder games. Join the ladder yourself, follow their streams, and submit your best clips for the community contest.
To everyone who backed the project, tested early builds, or followed along through development: Thank you.
ZeroSpace exists because of that support. We are excited to finally share it with you and to keep building it together from here.
See you in the Orion Sector.
