Why you might like it

  • A sandbox sci-fi MMORPG from Raph Koster (lead designer of Ultima Online, creative director of Star Wars Galaxies), entering Steam Early Access on August 18, 2026.
  • A genuinely deep terraforming sandbox — reshape mountains, reroute rivers, and permanently transform ecosystems through player action in a persistent, shardless galaxy.
  • Classless, open-ended progression lets you be an explorer, crafter, politician, or warrior — or combine roles freely.
  • Successfully Kickstarted in 2025, raising over $816,000 from backers, showing genuine community demand for the project.
  • Built by a studio led by genre veterans with decades of MMO design experience behind them.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Just entered Early Access days before this listing was researched, so expect an unfinished game with rough edges, bugs, and evolving systems.
  • Playable Worlds underwent layoffs at the start of 2026, raising questions about the studio's long-term financial stability during development.
  • PvP and faction systems are not yet in the game — they're planned for the eventual 1.0 release, so the current experience is PvE/crafting/exploration only.
  • Even industry observers who admire the concept have expressed concern that Early Access launched while the game still felt closer to an alpha build.
  • Pricing starts at $29.99 for the base Early Access tier, up to $79.99 for the top tier, which is a real cost commitment for an admittedly unfinished game.
