ZeroSpace is a cinematic sci-fi real-time strategy game built around three pillars, featuring a story-rich campaign with RPG-style choices, a persistent cooperative Galactic War, and a competitive Skirmish Mode.
The title combines classic RTS base-building and army control with campaign and part-member structure, inspired by narrative RPGs like Mass Effect and Baldur’s Gate.
ZeroSpace will be available to try in the Steam Next Fest in June, with early access planned to launch in Q3 2026 on Steam.

Key Features
Story-Rich Sci-Fi Campaign
A cinematic single-player campaign where player choices, crew relationships, and faction alliances affect the story. The campaign includes main story missions, hero loyalty missions, and side story arcs, with dialogue trees and choice-driven outcomes.
Persistent Galactic War Co-Op Mode
ZeroSpace includes a shared Galactic War mode where players contribute to a larger seasonal conflict across a persistent galaxy map. Mission variety includes co-op, PvE, single-player activities, 2vAI, 2v2, scenarios, and 1v1. The mode is similar to Helldivers 2, but with more factions and an RTS core gameplay mode.
Faction & Army Customization
Players build their strategy by combining main factions, mercenary factions, specialists, heroes, units, and buildings. ZeroSpace will have four main factions, seven mercenary factions, over 14 specialists, and more than 150 units and buildings.
Modernized RTS Controls & Quality-of-Life Features
ZeroSpace is designed to preserve the depth of classic RTS games, while reducing unnecessary friction. Many players have already expressed how it’s hard to go back to other RTS games without these QOL features.
Competitive VS Designed with RTS Veterans
1v1 and team-based versus modes designed with the help of RTS veterans, including prominent StarCraft personalities like CatZ, Scarlett, GiantGrantGames, Maguro, and PiG.

The Studio Behind ZeroSpace
Starlance Studios is a remote, independent studio building ZeroSpace out of a long-running love for classic real-time strategy games like Command and Conquer, StarCraft, and Age of Empires.
ZeroSpace began as a solo development effort by Marv Gouw, before growing into a team of roughly 15 people alongside additional part-time contributors.
Starlance Studios has recently been joined by Aaron Kambeitz, a co-founder of Relic Entertainment and lead artist on the sci-fi classic Homeworld. Under his art direction, ZeroSpace has found its visual soul.
