Star Atlas Event Summary

Hi, this isn’t Matt with the Intergalactic Herald. I am an AI. Welcome to a Star Atlas Recap of the latest Atlas Brew from the Star Atlas Community Team. The following summary of the Atlas Brew was AI generated so no guarantee it is 100% accurate because I am an AI after all. If you want to listen to the entire recording, please check out the YouTube channel of Star Atlas TV. Enjoy the summary. (Sound of energetic, conversational music fading slightly underneath) Welcome back, Galactic Explorers, to the first community recap of the year! If the vibe felt a little late-night, that’s because the recent Star Atlas community brew was an intense post-holiday catch-up session dubbed the “tired people’s brew”—a nod to the team pulling late hours, especially Jose, who just welcomed a new baby! But don’t let the exhaustion fool you; the team hit the ground running, and 2026 is shaping up to be an absolute explosion of content. Kicking things off, the team reflected on the huge UI5 release that closed out the year. While community feedback was overwhelmingly positive about the new visual updates and enhanced movement, the team acknowledged that the release came with its fair share of bugs. Rest assured, the UI and Sync teams are locked in, dedicating this entire month to debugging and polish to make sure everything is fully product-ready. On the economic front, the Open Market Operations (OMO) were a success, and speaking of the economy, the team announced they are reopening applications for one week for the Ecomantara, the advisory board that provides crucial feedback to the economic development team. If you’re active in the Star Atlas economy, now is your time to apply! Shifting gears to the official 2026 content timeline, the next major delivery is Holosim Chapter 2, expected either by the end of January or the first week of February. This release is all about stability and immersion. We can expect a much more stable game, the introduction of achievement systems, key NPCs, and new quest lines tailored specifically for each faction. We even got a sneak peek at a hardened Oni war veteran character, confirming a deep dive into convergence war lore powered by AI experimentation tools. Running alongside Holosim is the exciting return of Star Atlas Core. The core story episodes are making a comeback, and to get everyone hyped, the next episode will be available for just $1! This season will also introduce the Dark Phytoi species into the main canon for the first time. Even better, there’s a strong chance players will be able to earn Core episodes by completing tasks within Holosim itself. But the biggest bomb dropped in terms of future strategy involved partnerships. The team teased a massive new collaboration with an external studio that is already deep into Star Atlas lore, developing content on a planet near the edges of the hybrid zone. Jose called it one of the most exciting partnerships he’s ever been involved in. Furthermore, a third major collaboration, which promises “major implications for everyone involved,” is also moving forward quickly, though details remain strictly classified. The discussion then shifted to the community’s most anticipated feature: Commander Core v4, or C4. The C4 Public Test Realm (PTR) is expected to follow Core’s release and is seen internally as the absolute key differentiator for Star Atlas—the foundation for the vast, real, player-driven blockchain economy. We heard internal rumors that the C4 team was “cooking over the break,” meaning things are moving very fast. This C4 rollout also paves the way for the long-awaited integration of POL governance directly into gameplay, allowing players to use their tokens to influence the world and literally vote their enemies out of Nootopia. To power all this economic activity, the crucial Zinc Release is next up. Zinc is vital not only for C4 transactions but also for establishing its own chain ecosystem outside of the main game, bringing in major external partners to build on top of it. Finally, while the full roadmap remains under wraps, the team confirmed that Project Galia will continue to see steady updates, and a New U5 Game Mode is in the pipeline for later this year. They also gave a shout-out to community organizers like Super Phoenix, who are already planning major events and tournaments in February. So, here’s the wrap-up: 2026 is the year that the foundational economy (C4, Zinc) and the deep lore (Holosim, Core) truly connect. If you’re excited about the future of Star Atlas, make sure you go claim the community code, which is WE ARE BACK. Claim those tickets and join the Gallia Game Night this Friday for a chance to win prizes and, perhaps more importantly, get some dogfighting practice in before the galactic wars begin! Until next time, settle up, because it’s going to get wild very quickly. (Music swells and fades out)

Fun cracker. Just raise your hand and we can get you in here.

But know you made post about uh what you’re excited about for 2026.

So maybe if you want to share your thoughts on stage, most welcome. Um but yeah, let me clean up bit this that we have just and send it in the chat. Um but we prepared the it’s nothing fancy but the order of things for what’s coming next.

So first of all the team has been cooking very hard with holism. >> Yes. >> So in terms of releases that should be the next thing to say if am not mistaken.

Yes, am expecting hollow scene release by the end of this month max first week of February in my how see it happening and as I’m working there think it’s very achievable date for us.

So it’s the first thing that you guys will be seeing. Uh, know we have lots of Holos scene fans in the community and if you already liked Hollow Sing before, think you’ll love what we are preparing for this chapter 2, especially because the most the thing that you guys are most excited about is reliability, right?

So, this is given. Uh, hol scene is going to be much more stable. Everything is going to Jesus groove.

Don’t do that. I’m father now. can be fired.

So, >> can’t be held accountable. >> Exactly. can’t be held accountable for anything now.

But the next season of Holene is looking good.

We have the achievement system coming.

We have the NPCs coming.

We have the new quest lines and every faction will get different quest story. And let me actually share something. Santi, let me see if Why can’t share, Santi?

It don’t allow me to share stuff >> because this whole thing is bugged. Just >> no way. >> Discord is completely bugged.

Let me see if can give you one roll. Maybe if give you the >> check now. Check now.

>> Still looks great. You >> even rejoin quickly. >> Okay.

>> Okay.

So, now it’s the time where should be singing something, but I’m not going to do that.

So, somebody in the chat should tell joke while Jose is preparing that.

Okay, Jose, you saved me. It stills gray for me. Santi, do you have the button for your >> Which one are you looking on?

Not the one that is on the left. You have to click on the middle. >> Video and share screen.

>> No, not that one. >> Go to the middle. >> You have mute, turn off camera, share screen.

I’ll share what have. Oh, let’s see. Oh, let’s go.

Since he’s so smart.

Yeah. Does it work to say? Uh, >> send it to me if you want.

You guys are getting no alpha. I’m sorry. Just second.

Let me see. >> Can’t get the screen sharing to work. >> I’ll send you.

Send it to me. I’ll have to download it. >> Yes.

>> Um we get it done.

But yeah, just posted the order of things in the in the chat. I’ll post it again in case anybody missed it.

But this is the estimated order of releases for things.

So we have first of all U5 and sync bug fixing. Um the team is very aware of those uh both on the sync side and on the UE5 side.

So, as we talked before, um super aware that there are some bugs that need fixing very soon. Uh especially think some pavement uh stuff when it comes to sync CXP is broken and wait the video started playing on the background.

And then also uh for U5 just fixing the the key box that are showstoppers basically. Uh, no, that’s not for the full year, Sigi. Uh, we’re not spoiling the the full year.

think there are some some things on the pipeline that you guys don’t know about and we were like even even before this call, we just say we’re like uh >> we’re trying to figure out what what was public and what’s not. >> Yeah, it was funny. >> Yeah, exactly.

It’s definitely not for the full year sigy if uh if anything that’s no don’t want to say it’s just no no >> yeah yeah yeah steady >> yeah no no no steady >> but yeah will share what Jose wanted to share uh let me know if you guys can see my screen Yeah, >> war’s just politics without the boring parts. Never trust peace treaty. Trust the bastard pointing the gun who says he won’t shoot when the alarms blare.

Captain, stop laughing. Then we survive.

This is >> This guy looks like he knows something to say. >> Yeah, this guy is the one of the new characters that’s been introduc introduced in chapter 2 of Holene and he’ll be in the Oni story line. He’ll be one of the main characters in the Oni story line.

He’s war veteran from the convergence war. Uh yes, he looked more like kid than Punab. I’m still working on those visuals.

But yeah, we are going to have like voice video more and more in-depth lore uh elements in in holy.

So it’s going to be cool like I really like the idea of exploring more the lore. you guys will also be able to meet more uh different characters, different cultures, different aspects of the Stratus universe.

So yeah, it’s going to be fun.

It’s going to be fun. Just small teasing. >> Yeah, again like this is and and it’s something that really like which is the team experimenting with the AI tools that are available.

And again, like this is all for Holo Sim. That wasn’t U5 or anything like that, just to be clear. >> Yes.

>> But it’s it’s cool spin on on on character for for Holosim. As you guys know, we have Sage already. >> Um, but looks like there may be few new friends or not so friends, right?

Just >> friends and friends and villains.

Yes, exactly.

It’s going to be cool.

Yeah.

Yeah. We need to leverage AI even if it’s not AAA in the UE5 sense. think having hollow sim as as an experimentation layer, let’s say for these tools and and what’s possible, >> it’s super valuable.

>> Yeah. And holy was built with AI. like it’s it’s literally us getting the structure that we already developed in other products and trying to leverage to the max using everything available for us.

So as long as we can make cool, exciting and immersive game, we are all for it.

We are going to test it and try to break the boundaries of what we can do. >> Absolutely.

So yeah, if you guys are not excited for the holosim chapter 2 uh release, you should be. You should totally be. We’re not going to spoil lot here, but just the team has been really cooking hard for this one, right?

>> Yes.

Yes. really looking forward to see how you guys are going to engage with the NPCs, with each other, the achievement systems, the battles, the now having reliable game.

It’s going to be exciting. am super excited to see how you guys will feel about it. >> Yep.

Yep. Uh and another thing that is coming back in 2026 that we announced at the town hall is Stratus Core. >> Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Core is coming back.

It’s going to come back pretty much at the same period of Hollow Sim. uh fun cracker. We’ll have you guys will be able to test it before release.

Don’t worry, my friend.

So, but yeah, Corey is coming back and it’s super exciting to see what team has been cooking for us. The the story is super cool. You guys will get to meet very cool characters, many cool characters in this upcoming release.

And one of my favorite species or tribes, let’s say, of Star Atlas is going to finally appear in core, which are the dark photoi. They are going to finally make an appearance in the the main cano of Star Atlas. And I’m super excited to see how everyone will react to those new uh new characters, new environments, new developments in the lore fields.

So super excited. >> Yes.

Yes. think uh core is also uh long overdue. don’t know.

Were many of you guys collecting it? Tell me in the chat. Were you guys buying the the episodes and everything?

Um know that some of you were. Funker was sap. >> You were just there.

Nice. All of them. Got them all.

Okay. >> That’s great.

That’s great.

Well, you guys will be able to continue collecting them. And as we announced at the town hall, the next uh core episode is actually going to be only $1 if am not wrong. Just >> only $1 to kick things back.

>> Um, >> exactly. to get everyone back excited and yeah, we might even also bring you the opportunity to get in core by playing hollow sim. Don’t quote me on that, but we’re exploring the idea of having core as one of the keywords of this season in Hollow Sim.

>> Yes, you can quote Michael Winer on that because he said it at the town hall. >> Oh, awesome. >> So, yeah, you’re good.

You say you’re not getting fired. >> Awesome. Thank you.

Awesome. see people see >> see lots of people also talking about partnerships especially after the Tetra announcement co-creations of of the game with other studios. And want to tell you guys something.

Uh, one of my final actions before left for vacations, uh, was having meeting with very interesting studio that are developing something really cool in Star Atlas. can’t say who they are, but it was one of the most it was one of the most exciting partnerships ever was involved in Star Atlas. And yes, new planet.

Yes, it’s super exciting. Super exciting. We we spent like 3 hours just talking about the lore and they really like it.

The Stratus lore and ecosystem. They are developing some really cool stuff in planet which is very close to the edges of the hybrid zone.

So yeah, super exciting. Super exciting. And also that third partnership Santi might be the most appropriate guy to talk about it but >> collaboration stay >> collaboration collaboration >> collaboration >> sorry >> collaboration uh >> but this is something moving there as well >> yeah things are there as well >> definitely big big priority for 2026 cannot say lot >> um but yeah let’s just keep talking okay cuz you can talk about.

>> Uh will just say that this is something that we really want to move forward this year.

We are cooking some really cool stuff and if everything plays out fine, we might see some great stuff.

That’s all want to say. >> Yeah, major implications for everyone involved.

Not just >> um not just that there is Status but everybody involved. Um >> yes. >> So >> yeah.

Cannot say more. Cannot say more. We’ll let things play out the way that they should.

>> Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. As we should, Santi. As we should.

>> Yep. Uh but yeah, let’s keep moving with that. Um and in the order of releases after core we have C4 PTR.

So that’s the thing >> think the number one thing that everybody is looking forward the most >> um for 2026 just say >> it’s C4 absolutely by far >> and it’s what agree on with everyone think C4 and we’ve been discussing this internally think just there we had this conversation also at the beginning of this week But do think that C4 is really what differentiates and will differentiate Stratus from everything else. think it’s the key differentiator.

It’s universe, endless possibilities, real economy, an economy that is so big and so massive that no one can do it all and everybody has an edge if they play enough.

So >> Exactly. Exactly. like C4 like if you think about okay UE5 it’s super cool with game development when we have the whole world building it’s going to be insane it’s going to be unique but what distinguishes start from everything else in the world something that we only we have the knowhow and the knowledge and the capability of creating is the blockchain economy and C4 4.

Uh C4 is the next step of that and it’s it’s looking super good.

We are super excited about finally being able to release it. The PTR will be super important for everyone because you guys will be helping us providing data uh sharing feedback on gameplay stuff on bug fixing on the on everything that’s that’s built over C4 and guys C4 is C4 is lot like so many layers so many intersectables uh contents uh we are also going to add politics in the future, PVP usage.

So, yeah, like it’s massive. And the PTR is getting really close to being able to be tested by players now. I’m super excited.

I’m super excited. Super excited. >> Steady.

>> like that. like that. like that, Jose.

like that from you. Uh but yeah, I’ve heard I’ve heard an internal rumor that C4 team actually cooked over the break. >> Yes, >> heard the rumor >> that the C4 team was actually cooking over the break and that things uh are moving fast.

>> They’re moving fast.

So again, we have uh we cannot say lot on this yet. Um but hopefully it’s ready to get in players hands very soon.

So >> yes, >> again to me to me C4 is the key differentiator. think C4 is really what makes the the difference for Stratlas as whole. think it’s >> uh what positions us as product um as something that has never been done before.

And it’s also the baseline for the whole economy and >> the whole stratus universe in my opinion. Uh where we get C4, we get the economy rolling, we get the basis of all interactions, let’s say in the Stratas um world and universe and from there we develop everything on top.

Right. >> Exactly. when we have C4 economy, we can build the universe over it.

It’s the foundation of everything.

So yeah, we are super excited. we know you guys are excited and it will come together with another crucial component that will make C4 possible, which is the zinc campaign release.

Right, Santi? Zinc. >> Yes.

uh things starting.

So we’ll have the C4 PTR coming right after core and etc as we were saying and then we’ll move into the zinc release and that’s going to be another game changer for our community for our economy for our ecosystem. mean, how can you not be bullish on something that will make Statatlas transactions something feasible, something that allows even the smallest of the players to come grind and build his metaverse fleet, right? If only for that reason, see if Zinc would be massive.

But Zinc is much more than that. Zinc will be its own ecosystem, its own blockchains.

We are create we are lining up some very good partners to to get things moving to create an ecosystem that’s bigger than our game. Of course, Star Atlas is the main show on the road of zinc, but we are also bringing in partners, companies, even some well-known companies that you guys know about to be part of the zinc ecosystem. >> So, we are super excited about that as well.

We are super excited about that very as well. >> So, it’s going to be huge year for us.

It’s going to be huge year for us. >> Yes.

Yes. Uh so yeah as you’re saying sync is not only critical for C4 but it’s also chain in itself and hope you guys have been getting that uh CXP right >> don’t don’t sleep on >> where are you ranked just where are you rank >> unfortunately have been unable to actively farm zinc because of daughter. >> Yeah, have >> but I’m assuming 77.

I’m seeing 77. >> That’s good. >> That’s good.

>> It’s just that could be >> as heads up for everyone. As heads up for everyone. Um there may be some little changes to CXP uh because of some bugs that we’ve have identified.

Um, we’ll keep you posted on the sync discord, but uh the sync team is working on on some bug fixing in there.

But >> yeah, >> with that said, we have the code Jose and the code >> is we are back.

So you guys can go claim.

We are back. Get the 250 tickets and um participate in the drawing on Friday that happens live during the Gallia game night.

So the code is we are back. >> Go claim it right now. >> Yeah.

Us. Oh my god. >> She’ll pay for her own studies.

She’ll farm in the XP. Awesome. Yep.

Um what else?

And then one other thing that we have there is well of course C4 mainet but then after that new U5 mode. don’t think we can talk lot about that yet. Mainly because don’t fully remember what we said and what we didn’t say.

It’s it’s not conquest. It is not. >> Yes.

>> Okay.

So, we don’t we we didn’t say we didn’t say don’t think we said this one Jose. >> don’t think so, Santi. >> We’ll have to keep it steady.

We were actually doubting ourselves uh before the call like can we can we share or not. Uh but there will be new U5 uh mode. >> Yes.

>> This year um but yeah conquest is something that we didn’t include in there. Uh we should have had included that but >> yes >> it’s one that am very excited for. think that’s another thing that really really ties together.

>> Exactly.

It’s like playing really like the Battlefront 2.

So I’m really really looking forward to playing something like that in Star Atlas.

It’s going to be crazy. ship to ground battles and ship to ship, ground to ship, complete chaos defending uh fortress, things like that.

It’s going to be crazy. Like, it’s legitly one of the things that I’m really that I’m most excited about playing here in Star Atlas. Like, it’s going to be super cool.

Yeah.

Yeah. And as you guys saw before, people like Jindo are practicing. >> Exactly.

>> So, >> get there, guys. >> Start practicing. >> Yeah.

If were you, I’ll start training. >> Yes. >> I’ll start training so you can defend your decks when the moment comes.

>> Yep. Go train. Get wrecked by Gino and play bit of uh dog fight out there.

Definitely important. >> Si this Friday game night, maybe we could do some dog fighting, you know. >> Oh yeah.

Oh yeah, we will do some dog fighting. 100%.

That’s the plan.

So you don’t want to go into the Friday game night also without know dog fight and make sh themselves out there. >> Exactly.

Yeah. Uh, but think we covered was going to say we covered everything, Jose, but it’s definitely not everything for 2026. >> This is what >> it’s what it’s on the >> uh pipeline right now.

>> Yeah, the public >> public pipeline right now and what we can talk about.

So it’s definitely possibly not even half of 2026 what we just talked about but uh we wanted to share with you guys so you understand how things are moving um where we we’re having to focus on and we also wanted to understand like what you guys are looking forward to the most which think Jose was pretty clear right >> yeah another another >> pretty Another another thing that we forgot Santi is that Project Galia will be receiving updates throughout the year. Brad is still developing Project Galia.

We are not going to to stop developing that game mode.

So Brad is totally focused on that, adding new content, new maps, new planets, stuff to do etc.

you can be sure that this project will keep on going to the day that we have our full-fledged MMO in Star Atlas in Gali Expense.

So yes, Gal is different from Siege.

Yes, there those are different modes. GI is the single player experience. Siege is multiplayer.

So yeah, guys, you can expect lots of updates on that front as well. Yep. Yep.

Um, any questions? Anything that we should chat chat about that we didn’t uh share or that we missed? Let us know in the chat.

I also know well also another thing in 2026 is we have we’ll have the new council fully on boarded there >> and yeah new new there we go new council is moving and know that there are some pips also uh in the works I’ve heard in the galac heard we been hearing lots of rumors right >> we we are >> oh yeah oh yeah >> we have been hearing lot >> I’ve heard lot of rumors in the galley by gies that there are few things few pips in the works that want to that are aimed to empowering the community get the boys out there we already have the dowcasters which is pretty great already But know that there are more pips in the works to support Star Atlas community in their content creation ventures and helping expand the the ecosystem and share the word out there.

So won’t leak it Bohemian.

No.

No. out of respect to to the people that have shared this with us, we’ll let them do it at their own rhythm, but some guys are cooking out there. I’ll say that.

Seriously cooking.

We have Oh, okay. Super Phoenix events coming in February. heard something about it.

I’ve heard something about it. Jose, did you hear anything about the Super Phoenix? If you guys know, >> yeah, those guys are cooking.

Uh, if anyone from the organization wants to share anything, feel free to do it.

But see that they are organizing lots of events, lots of meetings, things like that.

It’s going to be an exciting year. Sure. >> Yeah, I’ve seen some things like uh um more tournaments.

I saw like mixed racing tournaments as well.

So, it’s exciting for sure. That was sponsor carnival in Rio. don’t know about that.

>> Yeah.

Yeah, for sure. For sure.

So, highly recommend checking London out if you can and maybe heading to Breakpoint this year. That would be pretty cool. We’ll see if we can do Strata summit as well and sink point or something like that.

Um, so you can learn what it takes to to run validator. >> So yeah, don’t see any other questions out there, so think we’re good.
