| Extinction Eclipse available to Android devices! | 2023-10-20 | After a couple of months of hard work porting our game to mobile, we can now announce that Extinction Eclipse is officially available for Android devices on the Google Play Store. Download now We put a lot of effort adapting the controls, gameplay and screens to work great on touch screens and we are very happy with the end result. For instance, we worked a version of the map that can be expanded from the mini map and move selected ships from there, allowing you, the player, to control your fleet easily. And of course, we adapted the tutorial for this touch controls version. The game is free to download, and you can play the first 2 missions |

| Two new features added to the game | 2023-08-03 | Thanks to great feedback from our players, we have added two new features: Auto mining Before, when mining ships finished extracting all the resources from an asteroid, they stayed idle until the player order them to move elsewhere, but now, they will look for nearby asteroids and will automatically mine them! This makes the game more dynamic and fluid. But if you prefer to micro manage your fleet, you can turn this feature off from the Settings. Automatic help When bases or ships without weapons (such as miner ships and exploration probes) are under attack, they will automatically ask for help from nearby, idle warships (fighters and battle |
| Extinction Eclipse Receives New Content in late March Update | 2023-03-27 | Hi all, Today, we’re adding another skirmish mode: Search and Rescue ! In this mode, you, the commander, need to find a rescue science vessels that are stranded in deep space, before they are found and destroyed by the Harvesters. This time, the radar signal is lost! so you will need to fly blindly to find and mine asteroids and build a satellite quickly to restore map funcionality. With the level being procedurally generated, the vessels will spawn in different positions every time you play, so you can jump back in, do battle over and over again, until you’ve mastered the art of space exploration and war! Thanks as always for your support, J |

| Extinction Eclipse Receives New Content in February Update | 2023-02-13 | Hi all, There’s many ways to play Extinction Eclipse, from starting out with your small crew and building up a mighty fleet in the campaign, to going all out on skirmish mode with our fast (or slow) paced game modes ready for you to explore the universe, do battle, destroy every Harvester on sight and survive to tell the tale. Today, we’re adding more! Enter our new skirmish mode mission called Stop the Grid, bringing you on a journey of search and destruction, where you must travel the galaxy to locate the enemy hexagons, eliminate them from stealing our sun rays, and ultimately rendezvousing safely back to base after completing your mission |
| Thank you for your support! We’ve got an update: | 2023-01-10 | Hi everyone, Launching a game as a small indie studio is always a challenging labor of love, and with Extinction Eclipse being our first major title, from development to launch, we’ve learned a lot, also thanks to you. First thing’s first, thank you so much to all the players who have already picked up the game here on Steam or on Nintendo Switch, it’s been fun to interact with different people, to read your reviews, and to work on the feedback you’ve shared for Extinction Eclipse. Moving into 2023, we want to confirm our commitment to continuing to develop the game with you, so keep an eye out for important updates, new localisations, new ga |
| Important update! | 2022-12-15 | Thanks to the great feedback received, we have now an updated version of the game with significant enhancements: Enhancements on initial position and distribution of ships and satellites. When the mission starts, ships will be grouped by type, not as randomly as before. Automatic repair. Pods will now start repairing any nearby damaged ship or building. Enable or disable automatic repair with the action button on the left. No WASD disabling while ships are being build. Queued way points. Shift-right click to define a scouting path with multiple points (similar to Age of Empires 3) Ships selection when touching Icon from ships counter Ships wo |
| Fixes in controls | 2022-12-08 | We recently received reports from players complaining that ships sometimes were not obeying commands (specially when running away from battle) so we have fixed that. When you send ships to explore, and the stumble upon enemies, they will engage, but if you command them to run away, they will not look back! Also, for the controller version, we are slowing down ships under the cursor so it's easier to select them. Finally, we noticed in many let's play videos that sometimes, the structure previewer when building a structure using mining ships disappeared. We found the cause and fixed it (it was really annoying!) Thanks for your reports! |
| Bug fixes | 2022-12-06 | Thanks everyone who have submitted bug reports! In this update, we fix some issues when selecting units with a large selection box, and also, some display issues with the smoke trails in the bullets. More content coming soon! |

The demo offers the first missions of the Preparations campaign in Story Mode, and 10 minutes of any Skirmish mode mission. Check it out, wishlist and get it today! |
| First batch of bug fixes! | 2022-11-21 | We fixed a couple of minor but annoying bugs: Audio in intro and game map explanation of ships had a weird reset, fixed now. Controller support was failing on ships selection, this is also fixed. When playing on controllers or on the Deck, the buildings positioners got stuck when you selected a different ship. We also added a new achievement for completing the tutorial! |
