Since Starbase was announced back in 2019, the game’s Early Access release has been delayed a total of five times. Frozenbyte’s current target date is July 29 and it looks like the team will finally be following through with their plans because they’ve just released an exact release time and pricing for the voxel space MMO.

According to the announcement on the official forums, the game will officially hit Early Access on Thursday, July 29 at 8am PDT and will be available at $34.99 on Steam with a 10% discount during the game’s first week.

“When Early Access begins, the Starbase universe will be a blank canvas ready to be populated. While many new core gameplay features such as the tech tree, crafting, ship easy build mode and station easy build mode will be available on release day, we want to be clear about the state of the game at launch. Starbase launches into Early Access in a clear alpha stage, however the core features are well established and there's fun to be had for sure. Now is the time to finally open up Starbase to a bigger population and see how everything comes together. The scale and scope of the game will quickly start to show as we update more massive features to the game every two weeks in August and September, like Capital Ships and Station Siege mechanics!”

The team has also revealed the complete 2021 development roadmap which includes the addition of a long list of new features and systems in the months following the game’s Early Access launch. “After a short period of tranquil mining, ship and station designing and building, as well as relatively small scale pvp engagements, the post-launch period will quickly start to heat up,” teased Frozenbyte. “The August updates will introduce Moon Bases & Mining and the massive-sized Capital Ships, while the September update that introduces Siege Mechanics will send the world into full-scale calamity, as player stations will become fully destructible and capturable.”
