Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jul 20

Ironward, working with Starlance Studios, released the PC real-time strategy game ZeroSpace into Early Access on Steam on July 20, 2026. The game was announced with a July 20 launch date in June, and a demo was made available on Steam ahead of that date. The Early Access version includes 13 campaign missions, cooperative play, and a Galactic War mode where player results reshape the galaxy map.

ZeroSpace was developed with input from former StarCraft professional gamers CatZ and Scarlett. The game features four races, six heroes, and 14 mercenary factions. It incorporates RPG elements such as dialogue-driven story changes and faction politics. Japanese localization was in its final stages at the time of the June announcement.

The Early Access launch price was set at 4,600 yen with a 10% launch discount running until August 4. The game is described as a next-generation RTS aiming to reduce genre friction through shortcut commands and modular faction combinations.
