If you've ever wanted to colonize a world while giant alien creatures are trying to kill you, then StarRupture may be the game for you

Near the end of July, Creepy Jar hosted a playtest for StarRupture, which attracted over 158,000 players as they explored Aracadia-7, a penal colony world where the inhabitants have their work cut out for them. Players need to maintain their colonies as well as factories for their corporate overlords, while also staying on guard for any direct threats from the indigenous creatures. But the biggest threat may be Ruptura, the talking star that gives everything on the planet its life.

According to Creepy Jar CEO Krzysztof Kwiatek, the decision to push StarRupture's early-access release to early 2026 was to give the developers more time to refine the game based on the feedback from the playtest.

"We're extremely pleased with the reception to the first open playtest of StarRupture," said Kwiatek. "Our concept for this game is a unique blend of existing genres--base building, exploration, combat, and survival--and players clearly enjoyed it. We're thrilled that players noticed and appreciated this fresh take on the genre and mechanics they know and love."

StarRupture will begin its early-access release on January 6, 2026, and it's currently available to wishlist on Steam.
