After so many years together, we can finally announce to you: Moduwar will be officially out in Early Access on June 3rd,2025, on Steam! This is a significant step forward for our team, we are finally releasing our dream game soon. But early access does not mean that we have finished the development of our game; it still needs improvement and work. We look forward to your feedback!

Moduwar dev update

I cant quite put into words what it feels like to reach the finish linewell, Early Accessfor a game youve been working on for nearly a decade. But its finally happening, and Im feeling the full spectrum of emotions. In the next update, I want to take you behind the scenes and share everything we've been working on in these final months leading up to release. And believe me, its a lot. It honestly feels like a years worth of work packed into just four months - Alon Kaplan

Campaign Deep Dive

In the single-player campaign, we already had three levels in a relatively polished state, but recently, we wrapped up work on Level 3, which weve been pouring a lot of effort into. This level marks a major turning point: it's the first time players will encounter the enemy spaceships of Moduwars main antagoniststhe ruthless Chimera.
Chimera spaceships Level 3 also introduces two brand-new creatures:

• Mogar a fearsome boss thats as terrifying as it is powerful.
• The Spitter - a mysterious new monster that still doesnt have an official namebecause the Reddit post we shared asking for name ideas absolutely blew up! With so many amazing suggestions, were still narrowing it down.

Spitter This level also contains hidden clues about the history of the humans who once explored the planetuncovering fragments of their past missions and intentions. You'll also get your first glimpse into the mysterious Free Modu, a unique faction whose story will unfold further as you progress through the game.

Live Action Cutscenes

Another major thing were working on right now is the production of live-action cutscenescomplete with actors, extras, and an absolutely wild spaceship bridge set. For us, this is a dream come true. Its our tribute to the classic RTS games we grew up loving, the ones that inspired us to make Moduwar in the first place. These cutscenes will tell the overarching story of Moduwar and finally give players a glimpse into the world weve been imagining and building for years.

New Features & Improvements

Weve made major improvements to the merging system, making it far more intuitive and user-friendly. One big upgrade: youll now see visual arrows indicating exactly where the merge will happenso no more guessing or misplacing your units mid-battle. (Yes, we know the arrows are currently red... thats just a placeholderfor now! )

Introducing Large Organs!

Last year, we introduced a powerful new mechanic: the ability to combine three turrets into one massive Turret Organ. Now, weve expanded that idea across the entire game. Every organ in Moduwar can now be combined into a large organsome are simply stronger versions of their original form, while others unlock special abilities that can dramatically shift the course of battle. Discovering what each one does is part of the fun... if you can manage to build them.
