Ore Bastards

The release date for Ore Bastards is July 21, 2026, for PC. This top-down space sandbox puts you in a fragile starting ship with a single goal: build a mining empire in an endless, procedural universe without being destroyed by pirates.

Success depends on managing a tight cargo hold while navigating a living economy across various space stations. The game relies on a procedural equipment system, meaning every turret, scanner, and engine you scavenge or buy has unique stats that fundamentally change your ship's efficiency. Beyond simple resource hauling, you can eventually establish your own space stations, turning a solo survival mission into a permanent foothold in deep space. It is a high-stakes loop where the most valuable crystals are tucked away in the most dangerous sectors.

Pick this up if you want a calculated, industrial take on space exploration and ship customization.
