Kwalee released RetroSpace on October 2, 2026. The Wild Gentlemen developed the game, which Kwalee describes as an immersive disco-punk space horror first-person shooter. Players control a nameless cleaner aboard the space station Aurora 5, which a sentient black hole has swallowed. Creatures that mix human, animal, and plant traits roam the station. The base price is 2600 yen, with the PlayStation 5 version at 2200 yen and the Xbox Series X|S version at 2350 yen, all tax included, and a 10 percent launch sale is running. A launch trailer is out. Players can use stealth, hacking, distractions, traps, and hidden routes to get past obstacles, and the game includes Mutamods, mutation abilities with irreversible side effects. After death the cleaner can resume as a clone.
The Wild Gentlemen built RetroSpace around player choice. Enemies attack with distinct behaviors, special abilities, and weaknesses that players must learn to survive, and Mutamods grant abilities useful for combat or stealth at the cost of irreversible side effects. Cloning after death is available, but severe deterioration from repeated cloning is a risk.
The station Aurora 5 sits inside a sentient black hole. Its creatures read as fusions of humans, plants, and animals. The art direction draws on 1960s and 1970s retro-futurism, with low-poly graphics rebuilt for modern hardware. Platforms are PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 release planned. Kwalee released the game on October 2, 2026.
