Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA release information

  • The last Launch Rehearsal test will be from October 14 until October 16.
  • The existing Hades' Star apps (iOS, Android, Steam and Google Play Games PC) will be the first to be updated to Dark Nebula, on October 30 at the earliest. Unforeseen issues can delay this for many weeks.
  • The separate Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA app on Android and iOS will be released 2 or more days after the existing app is updated. There are only small visual differences between the old and new apps, including window borders and loading screen. Valid reasons to change to the new app include liking the UI or loading screens better, or having pre-ordered the new app on Google Play (launching your account from the new Dark Nebula app will be the only way to claim the 500 Pre-registration Crystals). If the above doesn't apply to you, you can keep using the existing Hades' Star app.
  • Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA will launch on Xbox and PlayStation on November 15, 2023 at the earliest.
  • In preparation for the DARK NEBULA update, you will see the following changes to Hades' Star during October: 
    • Season 59 will be the last Blue Star season before Dark Nebula release. Leaderboards will be disabled between the time Season 59 ends and the time Dark Nebula launches.
    • Season 50 will be the last White Star season before Dark Nebula release. Leaderboards will be disabled between the time Season 50 ends and the time Dark Nebula launches.
    • New White Star searches will be disabled starting October 20 and until Dark Nebula release.

  1. Looking forward to it. Thanks. Note that it would be good to see an update on what tweaks you made in response to feedback and your own test results from the first trial weekend... hopefully that's on the radar.

  2. So first GC gets wiped out, and now White Star too. Seems like you’d be trying to keep people interested rather than stripping everything away from them and running them off. Perhaps you’re going for an attrition thing.

    1. Wow. Way to take criticism. Showing some real class there. That is pushing me to quit too and I'm a top 200 player. If the dev can't handle critique the dev wrong fix the parts of the game that people hate... which will be alot by the sounds of it.

    2. That was not actually a dev, check their name again

  3. I've never seen a Dev take a very popular game and gut it like this. Dark Nebula sucks. It's not fun. Entire Corporations are moving to different game platforms to stay together.

  4. I can't imagine this being worth playing on Xbox and PS5, vs playing on phone when bored, but i hope you can prove me wrong.

  7. I appreciate the explanation of rationale on things and suggestions on play style you have designed modules around. I do criticize the new chokehold on Hydrogen. I feel it was too extreme, even if I agree some abused mechanics in HS. And with RS I feel the time limit is too constrained and the need to constantly be clicking and multitasking I find functionally difficult as a person. I’m not a fast reflex 13yr old kid. I know you tried to compensate with auto stealth for instance, but I don’t feel it is enough. It’s too hardcore. I would like to have made more positive comments, but time is needed for me to formulate a more complete opinion.

    I find it hard to stomach that DN drop is now a joint venture with TurntSMELLO's Halloween drop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=del3B-5jalg

  9. How do I install the pre release? It's not in Google play.

  10. Wa-y To K-ill a game! You actually had something here, and instead have just shot yourself in the foot. In your break down you state: 'Valid reasons to change to the new app include liking the UI or loading screens better, or having pre-ordered the new app' Are you high bud? Like literally... When I came across Hades Star I though cool, someone who's making games for gamers, but after keeping up with this 'DevLog' your motivations are apparent. DN is a joke. I hope it's the long lived cash cow you envision it to be.

  11. Hope DN is as fun or more fun than HS. Would hate to see HS tank due to this

  12. It is sad that the devs are running off so many long time players. I wish they would have just patched the white stars again.

  13. It’s terrible now…RUINED a good game.
