We are excited to announce that Terra Invicta will release into Early Access this month, on September 26th!
This has been a long journey, and we're enormously grateful for all the support and excitement about the game from the community over the past years of development. We're equally excited to be taking this next step together, and look forward to finally getting to show you everything we've been working on!
You can check out the release date announcement trailer below, and please feel free to join us on Discord to chat about the game! https://discord.gg/HscsDuy
Upcoming events and Next Fest demo returns
Hi all!
Terra Invicta has just finished its time at Gamescom, and we've got a run of other great events coming up this month -- PAX West, Tokyo Game Show, and TactiCon.
Among other things, we'll be bringing back the Steam demo to Terra Invicta to participate in these events. It is now available on the Steam store page to download (on the right sidebar).
One important note: The Demo has NOT been updated since Next Fest. That means that a ton of stuff fixed in the main game (crashes, bugs, glitches of all kinds), as well as all the new content, have not been added to the demo.
This is the same demo as was released months ago -- so please bear that in mind when playing. The dev team is hard at work finishing up the main game, so we won't be updating the demo again, at least not before release.
We'll have more news to share about Terra Invicta soon. In the meantime, feel free to join us at Discord! https://discord.com/invite/HscsDuy
And if you'd like to join us for PAX West, you can find us September 3rd, Saturday, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM US Pacific time at the PAX Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/PAX
Terra Invicta's demo will be streamed on the store page in Steam Next Fest! Come join us to check out the stream, download the demo, and wishlist our game!

We have exciting news today -- A Terra Invicta Demo, allowing you to play through the first 7 years of the campaign, is now available for download on the Steam page.
The Demo does have some limitations: you can only play as the Resistance, you won't be able to save/load, and some alien lore and stuff is removed to prevent spoilers as to the nature of the alien threat.
It's something of a soft launch; we're putting the demo out early in part to hear if anyone hits any major issues during play, so we can go in and fix them early in the demo period. We've tested and tested, but sometimes things slip through. Feel free to let us know how things are going!
In terms of release, we are delaying for a bit longer, but the game is still coming this year, and we think the demo will showcase how well the game has come together. But polish and balance are critical for a strategy game especially, so the dev team will be hard at work making sure Terra Invicta lives up to your expectations.
Terra Invicta was featured in Hooded Horse’s Publisher Showcase at PAX East. The publisher showcase revealed new content and announcements across Hooded Horse’s strategy games, including a special message from John Lumpkin, Creative Director of Terra Invicta.
Terra Invicta is coming along great and in late beta testing, but we’ve made the decision to delay the release until Q2 2022.
All major features are in, but for strategy games especially, late-game balancing, AI work, and similar final tasks are critical to player enjoyment and have unpredictable time requirements. This delay will ensure there is no pressure to rush the game before it is fully ready, and we can take the time needed to ensure the game lives up to your expectations.
If you are interested in learning more and seeing some things we've been working on, we've got a delay announcement trailer showing a new set of human ships, as well as alien megafauna, to share:
