Please Note: We will be closely reviewing and improving this system over the coming weeks based on players’ experiences, and we would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback (Links are available below). Thanks!


The latest Patch Notes are detailed below. This update is now available on Android, iOS, Steam and MacOS.

Players can also expect the anticipated return of the Interstellar Independence Event! This year sees the struggle continue to new frontiers, with plenty of new rewards!
