We’ve been following the release of Space Tales, a retro-inspired RTS title from developer Saigon Dragon Studios. The last news about the classic strategy game was that it had entered early access on Steam with a lot more development planned. Now, Space Tales is gearing up to release as a full game, out of early access, on August 19th, 2026.
After entering Early Access earlier this year, Space Tales has continued to grow through regular updates, player feedback, and focused improvements to the game’s RTS foundations. The full 1.0 release will complete the story-driven campaign, expand its strategic challenges, and deliver the most polished version of Saigon Dragon Studios’ first original title.
“Early Access gave us the chance to build the final version of Space Tales with our players,” said Matthieu Courdavault, Game Director at Saigon Dragon Studios. “Every update helped us improve the game’s feel, fix friction points, and provide what players wanted. Version 1.0 is the complete campaign and the strongest version of the game we set out to make.”
