After a decade of meticulous development and community-driven refinement, Maverick Games is thrilled to announce that its ambitious sci-fi RPG, Stellar Tactics, will officially launch out of Early Access on March 30, 2026.
The game will be available in its full 1.0 glory across Steam, GOG, and Humble, marking the end of a legendary journey that began in 2016. For fans of classic, deep-system RPGs, this is the “1.0” you’ve been waiting for.
A Massive Universe, Refined
Stellar Tactics isn’t just a game; it’s a sprawling digital cosmos. Developed by industry veteran Don Wilkins—whose pedigree includes work at legendary studios like Sir-Tech and Sierra—the game offers a nostalgic yet modern take on the squad-based tactical RPG.
Whether you’re a veteran mercenary who’s been following the project for years or a newcomer looking for your next space obsession, the 1.0 release brings everything together:
Turn-Based Ground Combat: Engage in strategic battles against mutations and hostile forces using a refined tactical system.
Massive Open-World Exploration: Navigate a living universe featuring over 160,000 star systems.
Classless Progression: Forget rigid archetypes. With 240 perks, you can customise your crew exactly how you see fit.
Deep Space Mechanics: Choose from 40 customizable ships for mining, trading, exploration, or high-stakes ship boarding.
What’s New for 1.0?
The transition to full release isn’t just a label change. Maverick Games has spent the final stretch of Early Access polishing the experience to a mirror shine. Players can expect:
Expanded Storyline: A compelling main narrative supported by endless side quests and bounties.
Economy & Trade: A dynamic universal commodity trading market and asteroid mining system.
Quality of Life Overhaul: Significant updates to inventory management, mission guidance, and UI polish based on years of player feedback.
The Final Polish: Fixes for jank, balance tuning, and a final pass on the game’s deep Nano-Tech gear upgrading systems.
“The result of years of hard work, refined by feedback and suggestions from the community, 1.0 has become more than I could have ever imagined,” says developer Don Wilkins.
Get It Before the Price Hike
If you haven’t jumped into the cockpit yet, now is the time. Maverick Games has confirmed that the price will increase once the game leaves Early Access. Picking it up now not only secures your copy at the lower rate but also allows you to carry your progress into the full launch.
Stellar Tactics is a love letter to the golden era of RPGs, built for a modern audience that craves depth and freedom. Set your coordinates for March 30th—the void is calling.
