Star Trek: Outposts Unknown is a base-building and exploration strategy game set in the Star Trek universe, developed by Magic Fuel Games and published by Playstack. It is scheduled to launch on October 20 via Steam for Windows and Mac, with a demo already available.
Star Trek: Outposts Unknown entered the news cycle at the PC Gaming Show 2026, where Playstack and Magic Fuel Games presented the first Star Trek game devoted entirely to outpost construction and exploration, without a combat or diplomacy focus. The reveal placed the action in the 23rd century, parallel to the era of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and promised a completely original story rather than an adaptation of an existing plot. Players take the role of a captain who explores the Zehari system and builds bases on unknown worlds.
Two months later, at the Future Games Show during gamescom 2026, Playstack confirmed the release date of October 20 local time and specified that the game would launch for Windows and Mac through Steam. That announcement also reinforced the original-story element. A demo has been available on Steam since the initial announcement, and the reveal trailer showed base construction footage.
Alongside the game coverage, a separate product line surfaced in the same period: EXO-6 announced two 1/6 scale Mr. Spock figures from Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. These figures are unrelated to the video game, but both were reported in the same month as the launch date confirmation, offering collectors two distinct Spock moments from the film. The two stories about the game chart a clear path from announcement to a concrete October release window, with the demo as an ongoing point of access for players.
