On May 18, 2023, an exhilarating announcement was made by Pentapeak Studios, a branch of 2bytes Corp. The revelation was regarding Space Gears, a cutting-edge sci-fi strategy game expected to redefine the genre’s landscape by pushing beyond the boundaries of traditional gameplay.
Space Gears unfolds in the 22nd century and assigns players the roles of explorers and leaders venturing into the colossal task of terraforming Mars. The players are also charged with managing Martian resources, embarking on various research initiatives, and constructing advanced mechanized units. The game sets itself apart by marrying strategic gameplay with MOBA elements, creating a dynamic battlefield that’s designed to hook players with its compelling storyline and immersive gaming environment.
One of the standout features of Space Gears is its high-stakes, adrenaline-charged battles reminiscent of the climactic face-offs in iconic strategy games. The game also boasts an array of meticulously designed mechs, each creation being the product of a global team of skilled artists. Furthermore, players can delve into extensive terraforming missions, establish Mars bases, and engage in real-time warfare, adding layers of complexity and excitement to the gaming experience.
Executive Producer at Pentapeak Studios, In-won Lee, conveyed his excitement about the project, saying, “We are thrilled to be launching Space Gears and introducing it to strategy game enthusiasts worldwide after a year of rigorous development.”
To ensure a top-tier gaming experience, Space Gears harnesses the power of the Unity 2022 (HDRP) engine. The result is stunning visuals that bring the Martian landscapes, bases, and mechs to life. While Space Gears is a clear choice for fans of strategy, battle, and sci-fi games, it also marks the birth of a new IP. As part of its promotional strategy, 2bytes Corp. will be presenting Space Gears at global playtests and Steam Next Fest, inviting players to add the game to their Wishlist and partake in the game during these events.
Space Gears stands as a testament to Pentapeak Studios’ commitment to introducing complex gaming genres that have been less explored in the Korean gaming scene in recent times, with a focus on the global gaming market. The game will be made available for a global playtest from June 2 to 5, 2023, showcased at Steam Next Fest in June, and is set for early access on Steam in the third quarter of this year.
