Starlance Studios, in partnership with Ironward, has released its PC real-time strategy game ZeroSpace into Early Access on Steam as of July 20, 2026.
Starlance Studios and Ironward launched ZeroSpace into Early Access on Steam on July 20, 2026, following an announcement in June that set the release date. The game is a real-time strategy title that incorporates RPG elements such as dialogue-driven story changes and faction politics. Development included input from former StarCraft professional players CatZ and Scarlett, a detail highlighted in both stories.
The Early Access version includes 13 campaign missions, cooperative play, and a Galactic War mode where player results reshape the galaxy map. It is priced at 4,600 yen with a 10% launch discount until August 4. The game features four races, six heroes, and 14 mercenary factions. A demo was available on Steam prior to launch, and Japanese localization was in its final stages as of the June announcement.
The two stories together establish that ZeroSpace represents Starlance Studios' current focus: a competitive-oriented RTS designed to reduce genre friction through shortcut commands and modular faction combinations, with a strong emphasis on community input from the StarCraft scene.
