POLYSTRIKE is in development at Robin Entertainment for PC via Steam, with about 10,000 wishlist registrations logged by early September 2026 and a Japan-facing push underway.
Robin Entertainment announced POLYSTRIKE on August 20, 2026, as a top-down competitive shooter for PC via Steam. The game is 5v5 and tactical, built around objective battles over an object called the Ironfish, with sound-driven awareness and vehicles. It started as a DOTA2 custom game, and developer Mark Moshelad said Valve contacted him directly about it.
Less than three weeks later, the wishlist count passed about 10,000. The response skewed toward Japan, which at one point ranked third by country. That prompted the developer to add Japanese language support and to plan Japan-set maps, ahead of any full-scale promotion.
The two stories fix the shape of the project. It is a standalone rebuild of a custom game the developer began about seven years ago, and that earlier version drew more than 200,000 players in its first week. Development runs on Unreal Engine 5, and the vision system is dynamic and organized around information warfare. The audience the game found as a DOTA2 mode is the same audience now tracking it on Steam.
What is settled is the format, the platform, the setting of the wishlist milestone, and the Japan emphasis. What is not yet stated is a release window or date. Store page activity is the only measure reported so far.
