Hades' Star Roadmap Update - December 2025

By
During 2025, Hades' Star completed its 8th year of global operations. Counting various pre-release betas and live tests, the game has existed in some form for more than a decade. Creating a game that can be viably supported for many years, decades if possible, was a clearly stated goal of mine from the beginning. It feels surreal that the goal has been so far accomplished - thank you to the countless players who have supported the game over the years and have made this possible.  For me personally, 2025 marked the end of several years of turbulent personal events and uncertainty. Throughout these challenges, I have reflected a lot on what motivates me, and what I personally want to be working on in the years ahead. These reflections led me exploring a lot of different areas, both inside and outside games. I realized I have not lost my passion for space games, and for a while had been considering a new space strategy game, focusing on Exploration, something Hades' Star touches o...

Welcoming new players to the Hades' Star community

By Hades' Star
Hades' Star has been one of the most popular mobile space games since its launch, more than 8 years ago.  We owe this success to our players, who from the very beginning organized in friendly, supportive communities, both inside the game's Corporations feature, and externally on Discord. These communities have helped countless new, overwhelmed players learn the game and progress much faster than they would on their own. They are the main reason new players stick around as much as they do - many of them for years. To all the players who worked hard to maintain this positive community: Thank you! Going forward, we will be working on features to increase visibility of this community to new players. Starting last week, we have started completely reworking how Recommended Corporations work in game. This feature is important because it's the first point of contact of a new player with our community. The Corporations these players see need to be actively engaged in helping new pla...
