Of course, you’ll have to command a crew inside these titanic frames, and manage resources such as oxygen and fuel to keep them alive. If you can, then you’ll be able to take your ship on an exploratory mission around the universe. This might pit you against pirates in inter-ship combat, so you might want to trick it out with railguns and other sci-fi ordnance. There’s more peaceful, and potentially lucrative missions to head off on too, from starting your own asteroid mining hustle to saving the crews of stricken vessels from certain doom.
Prison Architect andDarwiniadevs Introversion Software are behind The Last Starship, which theyfirst showedback in June last year. The game had been due to launch into early access sometime towards the end of 2022, but that slipped into early this year.
While we wait for a more exact date for its early access release, don’t forget that The Last Starship’s playtest is still open for now, although there will also be a public demo available from January 26th over onSteam. The game will also be part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest in February, too.
