  • Disco, Doom, and the Deep Black — RetroSpace Blasts Onto All Platforms!

    Disco, Doom, and the Deep Black — RetroSpace Blasts Onto All Platforms!

    Glitter meets the void — and things are about to get weird. Developer The Wild Gentlemen and publisher Kwalee have launched RetroSpace, the immersive disco-punk space horror adventure, out right now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

    The Station Ate the Stars

    Step aboard the Aurora 5 — a gleaming retro-futuristic space station swallowed whole by a sentient black hole. Corridors twist, timelines fracture, and the crew has been replaced by something far less welcoming. You’re just a humble janitor woken from stasis with nothing but a wrench, a mysterious black hole, and a station that keeps jumping between eras. Your mission: survive, uncover the truth, and maybe — just maybe — keep humanity from vanishing entirely.

    Disco-Punk Horror — Style With Substance

    RetroSpace blends immersive-sim freedom with bold 1970s flair — think chrome, neon, and questionable sideburns — layered over genuine cosmic dread. Play however you choose:

    • Sneaky Chap — hack, sneak, and manipulate the station’s systems to turn security against your foes
    • Mutant Action Hero — wield powerful Mutamods: grow tentacles, boost your strength, and twist reality — but be warned, every mutation carries unpredictable side effects

    Death Isn’t the End — But It Leaves Scars

    Fall, and the station clones you back to life. Yet each return isn’t perfect — recover your gear from your previous body, face lingering consequences, and watch the station shift as the black hole warps time around you. Nothing stays the same for long.

    Launch Pricing — Get It While It’s Bright

    RetroSpace is available now at £16.99 / $19.99 / €19.99, with a special first-week launch discount live right now across all platforms.

    The music is playing, the void is calling — will you dance with the dark?

  • Space Janitors, Discopunk, and Black Holes: ‘RetroSpace’ Blasts Onto PC and Consoles This October!

    Space Janitors, Discopunk, and Black Holes: ‘RetroSpace’ Blasts Onto PC and Consoles This October!

    Get your bell-bottoms, plasma cutters, and ’70s moustaches ready! UK publisher Kwalee and developer The Wild Gentlemen (the creative minds behind Chicken Police) have officially dropped a massive announcement: their highly anticipated immersive sim RetroSpace is officially launching on October 1, 2026.

    The retro-futuristic horror title is coming to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, bringing a heavy dose of disco-punk mayhem to current-gen platforms.

    What is RetroSpace?

    Described as a love letter to classic immersive sims like System Shock and Deus Ex, RetroSpace drops players into the boots of a 3D-printed clone janitor aboard Aurora 5—a sprawling space station that has unfortunately been swallowed by a sentient black hole.

    With reality warping, time jumping back and forth, and bizarre plant-animal hybrid mutants roaming the corridors, you might just be humanity’s last (and most unlikely) hope for survival.

    Key Features to Expect:

    • Stealth vs. Full-Blown Action: True to the immersive sim genre, there is no single “right” way to play. Hack security turrets, lurk in the shadows, craft distractions, or go guns-blazing using burning alien body parts as improvised weapons.
    • Wild “Mutamods™”: Upgrade your janitor with powers like tentacle arms, mind control, or shadow-melding skills. Just watch out—mutations come with unpredictable and irreversible physical and mental side effects.
    • Metroidvania Space Station Design: Explore the interconnected halls of Aurora 5, uncover shortcuts, and retreat back to a (mostly) peaceful central HUB when the cosmic horror gets too overwhelming.
    • Death, Rebirth, and Clones: Dying isn’t the end. Aurora 5 will simply print a fresh clone of you. However, new clones can suffer from “degenerations,” and you’ll have to track down your previous corpse to retrieve your lost equipment.
    • Groovy ’70s Aesthetics: A low-poly visual design combined with 1960s/70s retro-futurism, discopunk tunes, dark satirical humour, and plenty of iconic facial hair.

    When Can You Play?

    Mark your calendars for October 1, 2026. Whether you prefer sneaking through the dark on PC, tackling mutants on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, or taking the disco-punk horror on the go with the Nintendo Switch 2, RetroSpace is shaping up to be one of this autumn’s most unique releases.

    A free playable demo is currently available on Steam for PC gamers eager to take an early tour of Aurora 5!
