Brand-new trailer gives a peep through the porthole before launch
Publisher Kalypso Media and in-house developer Realmforge Studios have today announced that pre-orders for Spacebase Startopia on Nintendo Switch™ are go! Before the airlock opens on the 24th of September, players can secure their tickets for the lively space sim’s launch at a 10% discount via Nintendo eShop.
A brand-new gameplay trailer gives Nintendo Switch™ players a glimpse of the celestial hustle and bustle they can look forward to when the game touches down later this month.

Alongside the 10% discount, those pre-ordering Spacebase Startopia for Nintendo Switch will receive 8 different in-game alien statues with various skins for the cute ‘Fuzzy’ droids and Recycler building at release.
Spacebase Startopia arrives on the 24th of September for Nintendo Switch and is available now for PC, Xbox One/Series X|S, PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5.
Spacebase Startopia Information
Spacebase Startopia captivates with its original mixture of economic simulation and empire building strategy paired with classic RTS skirmishes and a good dose of humour. And as if maintaining the three space station decks, entertaining the eight alien races and defending against enemy invaders weren’t enough of a challenge, the dynamic narrator AI is not going to mince matters and commentates events in a friendly but sharp-tongued manner.
Spacebase Startopia Features
