Once Upon a Galaxy — Roadmap Reveal!

Hey everyone — we're excited to finally share a roadmap of what we're working on and all the incredible features coming soon to Galaxy! This is your sneak peek into what's coming up.

Under the title Once Upon a Galaxy Roadmap, a list of upcoming features organized along fanciful planet-nodes in three rows. The first row, titled On Deck, lists Steam Launch (checked), Performance and Stability Fixes, Monthly Tournaments, Live Lobbies, Cosmetics Switcher, Daily First Win Bonus, and Set 2 Release. The second row, titled In the Wings, lists Audio, Music, and SFX v1, Upgraded UX and VFX, Deckbuilder v2, Friend Support, Competitive Enhancements, and Set 3 Release. The third row, titled On the Horizon, lists Official Launch Across All Platforms, More Cosmetics, Quarterly New Set Releases, Remove 'Attack Phil' Code (showing the game's Punxsutawney Phil character), 'Save and Come Back' Support, and Achievements and Player Quests.

On Deck

These are actively in development and launching #Soon™

Highlights

A planet with a castle and statue of the game's gladiator lion captain, Maximus.
Monthly Tournaments
Compete for prizes and earn your way toward seasonal championships — and eventually, Worlds!
A water planet with three quarelling sea serpents.
Live Lobbies (Ranked Matchmaking)
As much as we love async, we know there's nothing quite like crushing live opponents. This mode features turn timers and real-time matchmaking for players who want that head-to-head rush.
A planet made of various sweets.
Set 2 Release
Tons of exciting new cards and synergies to play with — trust us, it's sweet.

In the Wings

Planned and scoped — but still in the oven a bit longer

Highlights

A planet with a giant lyre emitting musical notes.
Audio, Music & SFX v1
Now that Steam is live, we want to give sound the love it deserves. It'll be full of personality, polish, and Galaxy soul.
A futuristing techno-planet with ships gathering around a gigantic screen.
Upgraded VFX Pass
"You like (poison) apples? How bout dem (poison) apples!" — We've got plenty more beautiful hand-drawn VFX where that came from.
A planet fragment with a house, piles of books, and the game's owl wizard captain, Professor Who.
Deckbuilder v2
The v1 deckbuilder did its job for alpha, but its not up to Galaxy standards. We're rebuilding it from the ground up for a smoother, smarter experience.
A living planet with spikey hair and teeth.
Competitive Enhancements
Legendary players rejoice! We're exploring the best way to show detailed lobby/captain/stats info without overwhelming new players — it's all about the right balance.

On the Horizon

These are further down the road, once we're a bit closer to full release

Highlights

A planet-sized cauldron with a portal to a rural landscape inside.
Quarterly New Set Releases
As we ramp up, we're aiming for a full schedule of 3–4 exciting new sets per year.
A planet-sized hourglass.
"Save and Come Back" Support
We love how async works in Galaxy, but sometimes you want to switch apps or pick up a run later. It's a pretty heavy lift — but it's on the list.
A ancient-Greece themed planet with gigantic Achilles paraphernalia.
Achievements & Player Quests
Long-term goals, creative missions, and new ways to express mastery — we're just getting started.

We've got tons of exciting updates ahead, and we can't wait to hear what you think. Got ideas? Feedback? Bring it. And as always, we'll see you in the stars.
