Now that StarRupture has arrived, players are free to build up factories and (attempt) to survive hordes of alien insectoids. However, this is only the beginning. When the game launched on January 6, 2026, it entered early access. Want to know what players can look forward to as development continues? We have the answers below!

StarRupture Roadmap 2026: Update Schedule & New Content

As expected from most early access games, StarRupture isn't finished yet. Thankfully, the development team at Creepy Jar has released a detailed roadmap of their future plans. Naturally, the biggest things the developers are focused on are bug fixes, stability improvements, and other optimization patches. However, there seem to be plenty of new features, mechanics, and challenges in store as well. The team has divided up its plans into planned features, content, and quality of life improvements that we'll see pour in throughout 2026. No specific time frame has been given on when we can expect these new updates. We'll have to stay tuned for more info about release windows for not only content updates but the game's 1.0 release as well. Luckily, the roadmap does state that StarRupture will receive new content "during its Early Acces stage and beyond."
