Starfinder: Afterlight’s First Public Beta Playtest Begins on March 19
Epictellers Entertainment announced today that the first Public Beta Playtest for Starfinder: Afterlight will begin on March 19. Players can now register via Steam to take part in the playtest and experience the party-based RPG for the very first time. It offers a small section of the game designed to showcase and test key features, including combat and exploration.
The Public Beta Playtest showcases a 45-60 minutes introduction to the game, with three pre-made characters to choose: Human Soldier, Vesk Envoy, and Shirren Operative. After crash-landing in the Entertainment District of Hivemarket on Akiton, players will meet their first companions and begin investigating the fate of Captain Khali. They can explore this part of the city, interact with the world and experience the turn-based combat system.
This is also the first opportunity for the community to hear part of the game’s voice cast, including Neil Newbon (Preach), James Alexander (Sterling), Carolina Ravassa (Captain Khali), and Roger Clark (Narrator).
“We’re very excited to let players experience our game for the first time through this small glimpse of our adventure”, says Ricard Pillosu, CEO and co-founder of Epictellers Entertainment. “This Public Playtest will provide valuable feedback as we refine our systems ahead of our Early Access launch and continue improving our vision for the game”
Starfinder: Afterlight is set to release in Early Access in 2026, with a public demo planned for this summer. Players can wishlist the game on Steam, join the official Discord, follow the developers on Bluesky, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and visit the official website for more details.
