ZeroSpace is available in Early Access on Steam as of July 20, 2026. It is a real-time strategy game that blends traditional RTS mechanics with RPG elements like dialogue-driven story choices and faction politics, developed with input from former StarCraft professionals.
Starlance Studios and Ironward launched ZeroSpace into Early Access on Steam on July 20. The game, priced at 4,600 yen with a 10% launch discount through August 4, is a bid to modernize the RTS genre by incorporating dialogue-driven story changes and faction politics. The Early Access version includes 13 campaign missions, cooperative play, and a Galactic War mode where player results reshape the galaxy map.
The project was developed with input from former StarCraft pro gamers CatZ and Scarlett, a detail that surfaced in the June announcement alongside the July 20 launch date. The game features four races, six heroes, and 14 mercenary factions. A demo has been available on Steam, and Japanese localization was reported to be in its final stages at the time of the launch announcement. A May announcement had already confirmed the July 20 Early Access window and shown a trailer blending gameplay and cinematic sequences.
