The original Pixel Starships has experienced quite an interesting journey. Initially met with a lukewarm reception, it was perceived as a heavily monetized RTS inspired by FTL's concepts. However, over time, a more receptive audience and numerous outstanding free updates have solidified its status as a beloved title among sci-fi RTS enthusiasts.
That's why fans will be delighted to learn that the sequel, Pixel Starships 2, has officially opened pre-registrations. Featuring a completely new visual identity alongside the deep strategic systems and fast-paced starship combat the series is known for, this installment represents the next evolution of Pixel Starships (with a deliberate nod to Star Trek fans).
For those unfamiliar with the series, Pixel Starships follows an FTL-inspired format where you strategically place modules to design your starship's interior layout. After constructing your vessel, you recruit and assign crew members before piloting your custom flagship into combat across space and planetary surfaces.
What purpose does a deity have for a starship?
Pixel Starships delivers all these elements within an expansive open galaxy to explore while forming strategic alliances with other commanders. Although the new 2.5D graphics in Pixel Starships 2 - which merge classic pixel aesthetics with 3D environments - might not immediately appeal to series veterans, they introduce a refined layer of visual polish to this acclaimed strategy title.
Development of Pixel Starships 2 has been underway for a considerable time. For deeper insights into what to anticipate at launch, explore our exclusive interview with founder and studio director Xin Zhao discussing Pixel Starships 2's development and features.
