From the steppes to the stars
For years you’ve built power stations, laid railways, managed supply chains, and forged a thriving socialist republic. Now the horizon stretches further than ever — all the way to the cosmos.
Hooded Horse and developer 3DIVISION have announced that the award-winning, hyper-detailed city-builder Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is expanding beyond Earth. The brand-new Space Program DLC lands 23 November 2026 — and the celebration is doubly sweet: the base game has officially passed 1 million sales worldwide.
This is more than a new map or a few extra buildings. It is a complete, endgame-scale overhaul that turns your industrial powerhouse into a cosmic superpower — inspired by the real Soviet space race, from Sputnik 1 through the Vostok programme and beyond.
Build a space programme from the ground up
Rockets don’t just appear — they are the result of an entire nation working in unison. Every component, every fuel tank, every circuit board must be manufactured, transported, assembled, and tested before it ever reaches the launchpad:
- Research & Development — Universities design blueprints and unlock new technologies; progress is steady but requires serious investment
- New Industries — Specialised electronics, advanced alloys, synthetic fabrics, and precision machinery — all built in new production chains
- Propellant Production — Manufacture the exotic fuels and cryogenic liquids needed to break free of gravity
- Logistics on a grand scale — Move massive rocket sections by rail and road from factories to assembly halls, then to purpose-built launch complexes
- Launch & Orbit — Send satellites, probes, and crewed missions into space — and reap the scientific and strategic rewards
A 1960s campaign — focus on the future
The expansion includes a dedicated narrative campaign set in the 1960s, designed to let you master these new systems without the usual early-game struggle. Your republic is already prosperous, stable, and well-developed — so you can pour your full energy into one historic, glorious goal: getting humanity into space.
Why this matters — 1 million players and counting
Crossing the 1 million sales mark is no small achievement for a deeply specialised, complex strategy title. Workers & Resources has earned its following the hard way: through meticulous detail, authentic economic simulation, and a refusal to simplify. Players don’t just place buildings — they manage the flow of resources, the education of the workforce, the balance of domestic production versus foreign trade, and the heartbeat of an entire nation.
That depth has struck a chord. And now, with Space Program, the team at 3DIVISION is delivering exactly what the community has been asking for — a fitting, spectacular conclusion to the republic’s journey.
