Six years in the making and designed and engineered by industry veteran, Don Wilkins, whose previous credentials include work on Wizardry, Arcanum, Tribes and the Hobbit among others, Stellar Tactics challenges you to assemble your team, equip your ship and explore a vast and dangerous universe.

Stellar Tactics tells the story of a parallel warring species of human beings, genetic mutation, ancient alien civilizations, unprecedented power and hope. You play an elite warrior genetically modified, bred for warfare. You and your team will wake to investigate an occurrence on one of the ships that carry the remnants of your people, suspended in a deep sleep for the long sub-light journey. Your deeds will change the destiny of those you protect, and your actions will reflect in the events that unfold as you reach your destination and you are unleashed into the void.

Stellar Tactics comes with a compelling narrative of finely crafted lore specifically designed to mesh with an open-ended sandbox RPG. Designed to entertain for years to come with episodic content spanning thousands of star systems with story and immersion, the game currently has more than 200,000 solar systems and millions of planets to discover. Spend countless hours exploring, fighting, trading and building a party of seasoned veterans ready for action.

After nearly a decade in Early Access, developer Don Wilkins and publisher Maverick Games are thrilled to announce the release date of Stellar Tactics 1.0. The result of years of hard work, refined by feedback and suggestions from the community, 1.0 has become more than I could have ever imagined.

Stellar Tactics will leave Steam Early Access on March 30, 2026.
