"Some EVEN bigger news for Beyond These Stars"
Hold on tight to Kewa because we have some news!
Since our last Dev Blog, A LOT has changed, and a fair amount of these changes were shown in our most recent Demo. But we are about to announce the biggest change of all…
We will be skipping over Early Access and going straight to a 1.0 release for Beyond These Stars, THIS YEAR! (Cue the Peep Celebrations!)
You folks may have a lot of questions, and we totally get that, so let us explain.
While preparing for what was planned to be an Early Access release, we found that many of our systems were complete enough to meet our requirements for a 1.0 release. After LOTS of discussions in-house, we’ve decided that with a final, strong push on content and gameplay, we’ll be able to have a completed version of the game in 2026.
We know you all have been waiting patiently to enter the world of Beyond These Stars, and we're so excited that you'll be able to experience it in a fully realised form, rather than just a chapter of it, with a 1.0 release.
Here's a little sneak peek at some of the things you'll see in 1.0 that you wouldn't have seen in the initial Early Access Launch:
- You’ll have the full Galaxy to explore on the back of Kewa
- A bunch of new complex endgame buildings
- Several new mechanics that make interactions with your peeps much more interesting
- More space to build your Peep civilisation
- Spaceships and Planets for your further exploration
- More planets to settle (oop, planets to settle?? 👀)
- The full fleshed out story of Kewa and the Peeps
- Aliens to meet, quests to take, and lore to discover!
- And so much more!
We’ll be bringing back Dev Blogs very soon, so you can follow along the journey with us to 1.0. We are so SO excited to share those changes and what's coming with you.
Of course, this is some Kewa-sized news, so if you have any questions, feel free to join our Community Discord and ask away!
