Space Tales Launches in Early Access on March 11, 2026

From the art team behind They Are Billions

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, March 3rd, 2026 – Saigon Dragon Studios today announced that Space Tales, its retro-futuristic real-time strategy game, will launch in 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.

Space Tales combines classic RTS decision-making with modern strategic twists designed to reward both tactical planning and creative battlefield adaptation. The Early Access build delivers a substantial single-player experience, offering players a deep first chapter of the campaign, full access to core systems, and meaningful strategic variety from the outset.

Following Early Access, the development team will focus on completing the remaining story chapters and expanding the campaign into a full-scale sci-fi epic. Regular content updates are planned throughout development, with a full 1.0 release targeted for the end of 2026. Player progress will carry over seamlessly from Early Access to the full launch.



Early Access Content at Launch

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 eactions: 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

A Reluctant Hero
Space Tales follows Xander Falcon, who becomes humanity’s reluctant hero after his father’s death, leading the Inter-Planetary Expansion army against the alien Nexera while uncovering dark secrets.

Alongside Vespera and Desmond, the conflict blends large-scale warfare with character-driven storytelling.

Two Factions. Two Threats. Adapt Your Strategy
Players build modular colonies, manage limited resources, and push back escalating threats across hostile alien worlds. The introduction of The Kill Bots marks a major escalation in battlefield complexity. This relentless mechanized faction forces players to rethink defensive layouts, timing, and unit compositions. Success depends on efficient expansion, careful positioning, and decisive counterattacks.

Early Access features two distinct enemy factions with radically different combat styles. The Nexera rely on alien aggression, while the Kill Bots apply relentless mechanized pressure. What works against one will fail against the other, forcing players to constantly adapt their tactics and base layouts.

Capturable Alien Titans
Large boss encounters are a signature element of Space Tales. Players will face colossal alien lifeforms capable of overwhelming even established colonies. Once defeated, these titans can be captured and deployed as powerful units, unlocking new tactical possibilities and reshaping battlefield dynamics.

Saigon Dragon Studios is targeting a full 1.0 release by the end of 2026, with regular updates pacing the Early Access journey.

After Early Access, the team will head down into completing the remaining campaign chapters and expanding late-game content:

The remaining 5 campaign missions

Larger, more chaotic battles as the story escalates

A third enemy faction designed to further elevate tactical challenge and narrative stakes

Continued balance updates, quality-of-life improvements, and 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.”
