Powerplay Early Access Roadmap

Powerplay is finally coming to Early Access! Welcome aboard, commanders. This marks the beginning of the game's journey, and we're committed to expanding the game with new content, features, and improvements shaped by your feedback. Here's what you can expect from us going forward:

Steam post imageNote: this roadmap contains the high level objectives. Many routine improvements will be added, in particular when it comes to QOL, balancing, general feedback, and localization to other languages.

Is early access right for you?

If you enjoy a solid single-player RTS experience, skirmish battles against the AI, and creating your own maps, you'll find plenty to enjoy in Early Access.

That said, the game currently features one playable faction. This is an intentional decision: our priority is to balance the core gameplay before introducing additional factions. We believe it's important to get the first faction right, and your feedback will play a huge role in making that happen.

If you decide to join us in Early Access, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Every suggestion, bug report, and balance discussion helps shape the future of Powerplay

Thank you

I would like to thank everyone who helped bring Powerplay to Early Access. I'm thinking of the team, and of the many generous commanders who have continuously played the game and shared their feedback. Your support has helped steer the game in the right direction.

It's hard for me to fully grasp how much the game has changed over the past few months, let alone over the past three years. I'm looking forward to continuing to work on this game for years to come. See you soon, Commanders!
