Captain Hardcore News

[p]Hey everyone, after so long, I can now officially confirm that Captain Hardcore launches on Steam in Early Access on January 22nd, 2026.[/p][p][/p][p]There is a brand-new, spicy trailer on the Steam page and on my Captain Hardcore Discord server for you to check out!
[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Hitting this milestone feels surreal. It finally feels like everything is coming together. Between today and early access release, I’ll be entirely focused on polishing, fixing, and refining - taking everything that’s here and pushing it to the highest possible quality for Early Access.
[/p][h3] Why Early Access?[/h3][p]I know this question will come up a lot. Well, the sex sandbox portion of the game is complete and polished. Putting the game in early access allows me to gather even more player feedback while continuing to refine and expand these systems.
[/p][p]I plan to expand the game during Early Access with additional environments, clothing, hairstyles, and further story content.

There are many more things to come. I will see you in the space soon. Here are additional images and patch notes for the latest additions to the game, which will be available in the early access release!
[/p][h3][/h3][h3]Captain Hardcore - Early Access Full Change List/Additions:
[/h3][h3]New Story Mission: The Broken Core[/h3][p]This update introduces the first primary narrative mission in the game:[/p][p]Mission 01: The Broken Core[/p][p]Without spoiling anything, this mission:[/p]

• [p]Pushes the story forward in a more focused way[/p]
• [p]Introduces your crew members, the ship's AI, and the antagonist[/p]
• [p]Sets up what comes next narratively[/p]

[h3]Completing The Broken Core transitions the game into a new phase, where the ship, SASI, and sandbox systems become part of an ongoing narrative framework rather than disconnected content. This is the foundation on which the rest of the story will be built.

Expanded Sandbox & Simulation Content[/h3][p]Alongside the story mission, this build includes a large sandbox expansion featuring: 7 new environments, over 130 new clothing items, 11 hairstyles, 6 voice profiles, and new systems to explore.
[/p][p]After completing The Broken Core, SASI will direct you to continue your research while she works on decrypting recovered coordinates. The next game update will continue the story from this point.
[/p][h3] Arena Trial Mode[/h3][p]Accessible on Planet X, Arena Trial Mode is a combat-focused sandbox where you face procedurally escalating enemy waves in an endless trial of survival. Enemies, pressure, and pacing intensify over time, creating a high-skill combat experience. This mode is an early implementation and will receive additional features, tuning, and content during Early Access.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Story & Progression[/h3]
