We first reported on Space Tales, a new retro-inspired RTS title from developer Saigon Dragon Studios, in October, 2025. We now know that it will launch into Early Access on Steam on March 11th. The Early Access release includes the first eight story missions, the introduction of a new enemy faction, and replayable survival mode variants for each mission. The launch trailer debuts today.

After Early Access, the Space Tales team will head down to completing the remaining campaign chapters and expanding late-game content, including the remaining 5 campaign missions, larger, more chaotic battles as the story escalates, and a third enemy faction designed to further elevate tactical challenge and narrative stakes. They will also continue to balance updates, quality-of-life improvements, and make community-driven refinements.

“Early Access is the beginning of the journey,” said Matt, Game Director at Saigon Dragon Studios. “Players will experience the opening arc of our story and face The Kill Bots for the first time. From there, we’ll expand the universe, escalate the conflict, and deliver the epic sci-fi campaign we’ve always wanted to build.”

At launch, Space Tales will include:

8-story missions introducing the main characters, the central antagonist, and the foundations of the game’s universe

Survival Mode variants for every campaign mission, increasing replayability

Two enemy factions: the deadly alien Nexera and the relentless mechanized Kill Bots

Modular HUB base building with full access to all core units and mechanics

Alien boss encounters that can be defeated and captured to become powerful battlefield units
