Marking a significant milestone in gaming, Pentapeak Studios, a branch of 2bytes Corp., announced their ambitious project, Space Gears, on May 18, 2023. This advanced sci-fi strategy game is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the genre, standing apart from the conventional gameplay styles.
Space Gears transports players to the 22nd century, challenging them to take on roles of leaders and innovators, tasked with terraforming Mars. Amidst a race for Martian resources, players will be involved in mining, groundbreaking research, and assembling formidable mechs. Space Gears boasts a unique blend of strategic gameplay and MOBA elements, promising an ever-evolving battlefield that is both engaging and immersive
With a nod to the climactic battles of traditional strategy games, Space Gears delivers high-octane, action-packed skirmishes. An array of mechs, each bearing intricate designs by an international team of artists, forms the core of the game’s combat system. Beyond the thrill of warfare, players will have the opportunity to undertake terraforming missions, engage in real-time combat, and construct Mars bases, thereby adding depth and variety to the overall experience.
Space Gears leverages the Unity 2022 (HDRP) engine to deliver stunning visuals of the Martian terrain, bases, and mechs, ensuring the highest quality gameplay. Developed as a unique IP, Space Gears not only appeals to fans of strategy, battle, and sci-fi games but also carves out its own niche. In its pursuit to generate interest and attract players, 2bytes Corp. is showcasing Space Gears at global playtests and Steam Next Fest, urging players to Wishlist and experience the game during these events.
Space Gears signifies Pentapeak Studios’ drive to explore complex gaming genres that have been largely unexplored in Korea in recent years, targeting the global game market. The game will be part of a global playtest from June 2 to June 5, 2023, will feature in the Steam Next Fest in June, and is scheduled for Early Access on Steam in the third quarter of this year.
