01 / BUILD
Architecture with consequences.
Build castles, towers and outposts around the Core. Weight, support and weapon recoil matter. A failing wall can become falling ammunition.
A NEW EXPEDITION FROM ETERNIUM FORGE
STARCORE
Beautiful world.
Terrible neighbors.
Build a fortress. Bring your friends.
Protect the Star
Core.

01 / THE MISSION
Make yourself
at home.
Then defend it.
One beautiful, hostile planet.
One very important Star Core.
Mine the world around you. Turn its resources into a fortress. Venture beyond your walls for discoveries, research and a better chance of surviving the next attack.
The catch? The world keeps coming while you’re away. Build smart, fight hard, and leave something standing to come home to.
A FORTRESS IS A PLAN.
THE ENEMY HAS OTHER IDEAS.
Your world.
Your way to survive.
01 / BUILD
02 / DEFEND
A very personal defense plan.
Flames up front. Mortars in the back. Mix artillery, anti-air, energy and arcane defenses, then get into the fight yourself.
03 / PROGRESS
Give the next wave a surprise.
Research new weapons, engineering, power, armory and mechs. Every expedition is another chance to build a defense that holds.
02 / BEYOND THE WALLS
Worth exploring.
Not exactly welcoming.
Cross the Veil into regions held by hostile Hives. Go looking for resources and discovery. Keep an eye on the time.
The Verdant Hollow
Green hills. Fresh possibilities. A convincing first impression.
The Rust Canyons
Red rock and open skies. Your expedition pushes onward.
The Frostveil
A frozen frontier. Still no sign of a warm welcome.
The Ashen Maw
Black stone. Strange signals. Bring a better plan.
Pre-release in-game captures. Trailer scenes are staged; construction and day cycles may be accelerated. About the footage ↗
Night changes the conversation.
The Risen come after dark. Swarms crawl, climb, fly and burrow. Then there are the bosses. Meet the Colossus—preferably from behind your defenses.
03 / BRING THE CREW
Good friends.
Questionable plans.
Take on the expedition solo, or bring up to three friends.
Build together, split the work, and face the chaos as a team. Host on your PC or use a dedicated server. A hosting subscription is not required for self-hosted co-op.
The expedition’s Commander must be present for the expedition to run.
04 / REPORTING FOR DUTY
Your Commander.
Your kind of strange.
Medieval knight. Expedition regular. Off-duty alien. There’s more than one way to look like you know what you’re doing.
Mix hair, faces, bodies, clothing and accessories. Free starting looks include female, male, androgynous and alien options, with faces that blink, glance and react to play.
More looks. Same playing field.
Optional cosmetic collections add appearance choices without gameplay-stat advantages. Collections are planned for release; no purchase is available here.
05 / INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Someone up there
is listening.
Deployment Control would like you alive. Orbital Research would like another sample. The Oversight Council would like the paperwork completed.
Down on the surface, you have a fortress to build, a planet to explore, and one very important Star Core to protect.
Longview Station has opinions about all of it.

A few things
to know.
Details from the mission briefing.
When can I play STARCORE?
STARCORE is scheduled to enter Early Access on November 2, 2026 for Windows PC. The game is not released yet. It is coming to Steam; we’ll add a store link when the public page is available.
Can I play solo?
Yes. You can play solo or in co-op with up to four players total.
Do I need a server subscription for co-op?
No. You can host on your own PC or use a dedicated server. Optional managed hosting is separate. The expedition’s Commander must be present for the expedition to run; this is not an unattended, always-running world.
Is STARCORE planned to be free to play?
The current plan is a free-to-play Early Access launch, with optional appearance-only cosmetics. Final store details will be confirmed on Steam. Cosmetic collections do not grant gameplay-stat advantages.
What platforms are planned?
Windows PC is the confirmed target for Early Access. We are not announcing console, Mac, Linux or Steam Deck support at this time.
Is the footage real gameplay?
The screenshots and trailers use actual in-game captures at the High graphics preset with default textures. Trailer scenes are staged, including directed enemy shots and accelerated building or day cycles. They are not multiplayer performance benchmarks. This is pre-release footage; content and visuals may change.
