The next upcoming space sim hails from the Kalypso Media asteroid belt where the comet, Realmforge Studios, passed through like a... well, comet. Resulting in an unknown space phenomenon that is the creation of a videogame for us lowly humans, but that's okay, because as lowly humans, we'll take just about anything from space, because space is cool. Scientists have dubbed the phenom "Spacebase Startopia", and it arrives on Earth sooner than you think.

The Hubble has some unique footage we'll get to shortly, but here's the official scientific explanation of the "Wow! signal" they received:

Spacebase Startopia sells players the galactic dream: managing their very own donut-shaped space station. Overseen and assisted (when she feels like it) by the base's sarky on-board AI, players will play Commander to their floating home-away-from-home, kitting out the station's three unique decks with a variety of galactic gadgetry whilst tending to the wants and needs of a diverse array of vacationing extra-terrestrial lifeforms. In multiplayer, up to 4 players can work together to build the galaxy's greatest getaway or seek oblivion unto their rivals with daring feats of economic sabotage.

Commanders in training can now pre-purchase the digital version via the Kalypso Store, Steam and the Microsoft Store or pre-order the physical box product at participating retailers.

Expect a sighting on March 26 for PC, Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Series X|S with a Switch version to follow down the track.

Now, about that WoW! signal and the vision captured. Check it out embedded below.
