In a groundbreaking development, the tabletop role-playing game Starfinder, published by Paizo, is now making its way into the digital gaming realm with 'Starfinder: Afterlight.'
Starfinder: Afterlight, a new turn-based sci-fi role-playing game (RPG), is set to launch in the near future, developed by Epictellers Entertainment. The game is based on the Starfinder tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) universe and is scheduled to enter Steam Early Access in 2026.
The game promises a captivating single-player experience, where players assemble a crew with unique personal stories and baggage. In Afterlight, players are tasked with saving the galaxy, much like in the second edition of Starfinder. The combat system in Afterlight is turn-based, similar to Starfinder's second edition, offering a strategic and immersive gameplay experience.
Epictellers Entertainment is venturing into video game development with this sci-fi title, marking their first foray into the world of Starfinder. The Kickstarter campaign for Starfinder: Afterlight is expected to launch soon, giving fans a chance to support the development of this exciting new game.
Starfinder: Afterlight's narrative focus and branching storylines are reminiscent of the recently announced RPG for The Expanse. Neil Newbon, the voice of Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3, will direct the voice cast for Starfinder: Afterlight, ensuring a high-quality and engaging audio experience.
It's important to note that Afterlight's combat system differs from The Expanse RPG and BioWare's Mass Effect, which are third-person shooters with tactical elements. Instead, Afterlight offers a more traditional turn-based combat system, fitting well within the modern indie RPG model: Kickstarter first, followed by Early Access to gather player feedback and support.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Kickstarter release date and other exciting details about Starfinder: Afterlight. The cosmos awaits!
