Hello everyone,

Today we want to share an important update about the future of ISG, and more specifically about the long-awaited third expansion.

After many months of dedicated work developing and refining this massive new chapter of ISG, we’re excited to announce that Expansion III is planned for release in 2026.

Development is progressing steadily, and this expansion is shaping up to be exactly what we envisioned it to be. We're also building upon everything we’ve learned from both your feedback and our own evolving design goals.

While we’re not ready to announce a specific release date yet, we can say with confidence that the expansion will be out in 2026, unless something very unexpected prevents it. That said, our priority remains quality, depth, and long-term impact — and that means taking the time needed to do it right!

Expansion III is designed to push ISG into a new level. Without going into too much detail just yet, it will introduce:

• Expanded lore and narrative elements. Uncover hidden histories and cosmic mysteries that reshape the way you view the galaxy.

• New strategic systems and technology. Use new systems and acquire powerful technology capable of significantly altering the balance of power across the galaxy.

• Epic new content. Discover and experience surprises in every corner of space, with enhanced challenges, capable of putting even the most powerful empires to the test.

Over the course of ISG’s development, we’ve learned that revealing too much too early can create expectations around systems that are still evolving. At this stage, we prefer to clearly communicate the direction and ambition of Expansion III, while saving more concrete details for when they are fully ready to be shown.

As development continues, we’ll gradually start sharing:

• First visuals and screenshots

• Deeper looks at new mechanics and systems

• More information about the new content, lore and technologies

From the very beginning, our goal for Expansion 3 was to deliver something truly epic, and we believe this version delivers exactly that — with new layers of complexity, challenge and replay value that reward both new players and seasoned veterans.

Alongside Expansion III, we’re planning a free update, as usual, that will release at the same time and complement the expansion’s new systems.

At the moment, however, there are no additional updates planned before that release. That may change, but for now our development efforts are fully focused on Expansion III and on making sure both the expansion and its accompanying free update reach the level of quality and depth we’re aiming for.

Your passion and feedback continue to be a huge motivation for the team. Expansion III is being developed with great care and respect for the time and dedication you’ve invested in ISG.

We’ll be back with more news as we move closer to release. In the meantime, you can also sign the ISG newsletter[interstellarspacegame.us2.list-manage.com] to stay on top of all the major news.

See you among the stars,
