“Starborne: Frontiers” Takes Off on Steam, New DLC and Halloween Event Teased

The intergalactic strategy universe of Starborne: Frontiers is ready to pull you in for real. After much anticipation, the full version has officially landed on Steam, and it’s not just the demo this time! This release comes hot on the heels of a successful testing phase, and fans of deep sci-fi strategy have been eagerly awaiting the chance to dive into the full experience.

For those unfamiliar, Starborne: Frontiers is a space-based strategy game where players command fleets across an expansive galaxy. Combining tactical decision-making with empire-building, it’s a unique offering in a genre filled with cookie-cutter clones. What sets it apart is its distinct focus on both grand-scale galactic conquests and the gritty, intense skirmishes between diverse fleets. Whether you’re fortifying your territory or launching calculated strikes against your rivals, Frontiers keeps you engaged with its balance of micro and macro-strategy elements.

DLC Bringing Even More Content Soon

While the base game is now fully available, the developers at Solid Clouds aren’t resting on their laurels. They’ve already teased some exclusive DLC bundles designed to further enhance your spacefaring journey. Although details remain under wraps, it’s clear they’re aiming to keep content fresh—an important move for a live-service game where replayability and community engagement are key factors. Keep an eye out on Steam for more information as it’s expected to drop soon.

Get Ready for a Spooky Space Halloween Event

Of course, that’s not all. Just in time for the spooky season, Starborne: Frontiers is bringing a limited-time Dracula-themed bounty event. Players will have the chance to participate in special Halloween missions, hunting down terrifying (and likely loot-heavy) enemies inspired by the bloodsucking legend himself. While the press release didn’t dive into specifics, one imagines there’s a good shot at gaining some rare rewards for anyone brave enough to take on these haunting adversaries.

How to Succeed Early in the Game

If you’re just starting in Starborne: Frontiers, here are a few tips to ease your way into becoming a master strategist:

  1. Diversify Your Fleet: Crafting a balanced fleet is key. Specialize your ships in different combat roles—some should focus on tanking, while others handle long-range strikes. This makes sure you’re prepared to face a variety of threats.

  2. Don’t Ignore Crafting: Resource management is critical in Frontiers. Constantly upgrading your ships through crafting and resource allocation will keep you ahead of the curve. Neglect this mechanic, and suddenly those enemy fleets will feel a lot more intimidating.

  3. Join an Alliance Early: Strength in numbers matters. By joining an alliance, you’ll get access to group missions and bonuses that can bolster your progress significantly. Plus, having a network of allies in a game based around territory can make all the difference between expanding your power or losing it.

  4. Timing Attacks: Patience is an underrated skill in this game. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike an opponent can maximize the impact of your offensive. Timing those moves between NPC threats and rival player activity can turn the tide of any battle.

Available Now on Multiple Platforms

If you’re not a Steam user, fear not. The game is also available on mobile for iPhone and iPad users here, perfect for strategizing on the go. Whether you’re exploring the galaxy from the comfort of your PC or between meetings on your phone, Frontiers offers a consistent, polished experience.
