A big milestone! It's coming out this year!

Today is a very special day for me.

After countless hours of development, many setbacks, endless decisions, and above all, a great deal of passion, I can finally announce:

Startelf will launch in Early Access on Steam in Q4 2026!

When I started developing Startelf, I had one clear goal: I didn't want to create just another football management game. I wanted to build a manager that feels different.

A manager where every club tells its own story. A manager where every decision has consequences, and every career unfolds in its own unique way.

Today, I'm one big step closer to achieving that goal.

A Brand-New Steam Page

To celebrate this announcement, I've completely redesigned the Startelf Steam page.

You'll find brand-new screenshots, updated information, and a much better look at what awaits you in Startelf.

Every screenshot represents a small piece of what I've been working on over the past few months—and I still have many more ideas that I can't wait to share with you.

Club Philosophies – The Heart of Startelf

What truly defines a football club?

Is it the trophies? The budget? The players?

Or is it the club's identity, history, and long-term vision?

That question lies at the very heart of Startelf.

Club philosophies are the game's core feature, ensuring that every club feels genuinely unique.

Managing a global powerhouse is a completely different experience from leading a youth development club. A traditional club presents different challenges than an investor-backed club. And a trading club requires an entirely different approach from any other.

Each philosophy changes your objectives, your opportunities, and the challenges you'll face.

You don't just take over a club.

You take over a vision.
