Prepare to have your screens filled with starfire and enemies — solo developer Stathis Aposporis (founder of ProtoGames) has just premiered a brand-new gameplay trailer for Spaceborn: Awakening, the narrative-driven bullet-heaven roguelite hurtling toward Steam later this year.
What Is Spaceborn: Awakening?
Far more than just another horde-survival game, Spaceborn: Awakening wraps its white-knuckle combat inside a full-blooded sci-fi adventure:
- Answer a mysterious distress signal from a derelict space station on the edge of the known universe
- Face the corrupted armies of the Voss Praetor in waves that erupt from every direction
- Uncover the truth behind the first Spaceborn — and decide the fate of the cosmos itself
Where many roguelites treat story as window dressing, here the narrative drives your progression. Every run peels back another layer of the mystery, unlocking new abilities, characters, and possibilities as you go.
Bullet Heaven Meets Deep Progression
The trailer lays out exactly what players can expect — and it looks spectacular:
- Screen-clearing firepower — unleash cascading shots, orbital strikes, and cosmic blasts that paint the void with destruction
- Dynamic builds — weapons, Spaceborn abilities, and upgrades shift every run; commit to a playstyle and watch it evolve into something unstoppable
- Persistent Awakening system — story progress unlocks permanent powers and expanded options for future attempts
- Handcrafted vision — created by Stathis Aposporis, a developer with 12 years of AAA and indie experience, joined by collaborators for art and audio
- Demo available now — try the current build free on Steam ahead of launch
Watch It Now
The fresh gameplay trailer shows combat in motion — from tense early encounters to late-game displays of overwhelming cosmic power. It’s fast, it’s vibrant, and it’s arriving later in 2026 exclusively on PC via Steam.
