It has been a while since we have heard anything on Starbase, the developer Frozenbyte were releasing, what felt like, weekly updates, leading to the games early access launch last year, but they soon stopped and the launch didn’t happen, but we now know why, they were very hard at work on the game.

Today they announced that when Starbase does release, the first major community objective is to help colonise planets and moons. Of course first steps are important and where small outposts and early trading routes are the beginning, they can eventually turn into huge cities with thriving societies. Players can land anywhere with no loading screens, walk around the big cityscapes and interact with other pioneers - explore the new world! Reaching even the closest moon, however, will require a massive joint effort and ingenuity from players.

Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvärinen comments on the future: "There's a ton of things we've been working on and this trailer showcases the planets and moons. We've also been stress testing massive fleet simulations and how well our tech holds up with thousands of ships in play, and we'll release a making-of video of the massive fleet next week!"

Check out the latest trailer below, the game is set for release in 2020, but not other date has been revealed as of yet.
