'Into the Stars' Gets Release Date - Screens

Into the Stars is an Unreal Engine 4 powered open-world space survival simulation.

We’ve been under attack for 10 years now. Every 6 months a new group of them arrives set on destroying our planet and now few of us remain to defend what’s left. The massive ships we’ve built in hopes of escaping them have all gone, save one. As the captain of our final vessel, you must guide an inexperienced crew on a journey fraught with mystery and danger. The fate of the fleet is uncertain and you could well be our last hope. How will you fare once you set out Into the Stars?

Take the role of Captain as you explore a massive solar system in search of a new home for humanity. Outfit your ship, hand pick your crew and set off on a journey where you must scavenge resources, shelter civilians and outrun a hostile alien force in order to survive.

Your ship, the Ark 13, is the last to leave our besieged planet and you are at the helm. But before you set out, some decisions must be made: Which modules will you choose to take with you and who will manufacture them? What resources will fill your limited cargo holds and which crew members will you take under your wing?


“Since launching into Early Access we’ve received solid feedback from the gaming community, and with their help we’ve fine tuned Into The Stars’ massive world to provide a compelling experience,” said Ben Jones, development director at Fugitive Games. “With distinctive gameplay and replayability that will challenge players for hours, we think the final version of Into The Stars will thrill those who supported us through Kickstarter and Early Access, as well as anyone discovering the game for the first time.”

To mark the occasion, Into The Stars is available this week at 33% off during its final sale in Early Access.

Once in flight, your responsibilities as Captain will push your limits:

  • Monitor the condition of your crew, civilians and modules
  • Ensure a steady flow of resources for your Modules
  • Explore derelict ships and dangerous planets with Landing Parties
  • Engage aliens of all types in Trade and Combat
  • Navigate a solar system filled with celestial bodies, asteroids and mines
  • Evade a pursuing enemy determined to destroy you

The soundtrack for Into The Stars was written by legendary composer Jack Wall, renowned for his music scores in titles like Mass Effect, Call of Duty and Lost Planet.

Into The Stars will be available for $19.99.
