Starfinder: Afterlight Kicks Off Crowdfunding Next Week
Independent Spanish studio Epictellers Entertainment has officially revealed the launch date for the Kickstarter campaign of its upcoming debut title, Starfinder: Afterlight. Fans eager to support the project can mark their calendars for October 7th, when the crowdfunding efforts for the space techno-fantasy RPG will officially begin.
Starfinder: Afterlight is making waves as the very first video game adaptation of Paizo’s popular tabletop role-playing game universe, Starfinder. This unique setting masterfully blends elements of cosmic techno-fantasy with hard science fiction, promising a rich and imaginative backdrop for players to explore. The game’s story centers on a "ragtag group of misfits" from distant stars who must unite their disparate abilities to save the galaxy from an encroaching threat.
Explore a Rich Universe with Strategic Combat
Players got a glimpse of the game’s visual style and gameplay through a recent trailer, which showcased snippets of the action from its second half. The combat system in Starfinder: Afterlight is built upon the second edition rules of the Starfinder tabletop game, suggesting a tactical, turn-based experience that will challenge players to think strategically.
Epictellers Entertainment is promising a substantial and non-linear narrative, offering between 40 to 60 hours of gameplay. Throughout their journey, players will utilize the unique skills of six different companions, traveling from planet to planet. Along the way, they’ll encounter a diverse cast of characters and undertake various quests, further immersing them in the expansive Starfinder universe.
Talented Voice Acting and Modding Support Confirmed
Adding to the game's appeal, the developers have confirmed professional voice acting, with Neil Newbon — widely recognized as the voice of Astarion in Baldur’s Gate III — directing the voice talent. This high-caliber involvement suggests a strong emphasis on narrative delivery and character depth. Furthermore, Epictellers Entertainment plans to release official modding tools, empowering the community to create and share their own custom content, extending the game’s longevity and creative possibilities.
Early Access Planned for 2026
Starfinder: Afterlight is currently slated for an Early Access release on Steam sometime in 2026. The developers have also confirmed that the game will support multiple languages, including Russian, ensuring a broad reach for its global audience. For fans of isometric RPGs, science fiction, and the Starfinder universe, the upcoming Kickstarter campaign offers a prime opportunity to support a promising new venture and help bring this ambitious project to life.
