In a future ruled by megacorporations, one family’s debt sees them taking on dark wetwork jobs to pay it off. Star Ronin is a top-down action RPG of destructible combat, deep crafting, and procedurally generated chaos, from developer Wolfe Games.
[August 3rd, 2026]: Wolfe Games today announced that Star Ronin, its cyberpunk action RPG will take part in Steam’s Cyberpunk Fest, running August 3rd to August 10th, 2026, offering a new demo for players who wish to check out the game ahead of launch. The game is available to wishlist now on Steam, with a full release expected later in 2026.
The game’s solo developer, Greg Wolfe, is the creator of the wildly popular Mount & Blade: Warband mod Blood and Steel – which achieved over a million downloads – as well as mods for Teleglitch, MechWarrior 5, and more.
Star Ronin drops players into a dystopian future where megacorporations own everything, including your family’s freedom. Working off an impossible debt means taking every dangerous job going, and surviving means kill or be killed. Play your own way: vanish with thermoptic camouflage, rocket into a room on a jetpack, call in drone support, or just go loud with an arsenal that keeps getting bigger
Every mission and map in Star Ronin is procedurally generated, from objectives and enemies down to traps and boss encounters, set across environments that can be blown up, set on fire, or used creatively against a vast catalog of foes. A deep crafting system lets players build and upgrade their own weapons, exo-suits, and equipment, while multiple difficulty levels and a dedicated Arena mode let players tailor and test their own approach.
During Steam’s Cyberpunk Fest, players will be able to download and play the Star Ronin demo directly from its Steam page, alongside a wider selection of cyberpunk and sci-fi titles featured as part of the event.
Key features of Star Ronin include:
- Go Loud, or Go Quiet: Thermoptic camouflage, jetpack traversal, and drone support give players a different way into every job.
- Destructible, Procedurally Generated Missions: Objectives, maps, enemies, traps, and boss encounters change on every run, in environments that can be blown up, set on fire, or used creatively.
- A Vast Catalog of Foes: From kamikaze bomb swarms to robot dogs with flamethrower heads to bosses with vicious abilities.
- Deep Crafting System: Build and upgrade weapons, exo-suits, and equipment, choosing between tank, speed, or power focused builds.
- A Difficulty Curve Built to Last: Multiple difficulty levels and a dedicated Arena mode let players test their build before risking it for real.
- Dynamic Lighting System: A sophisticated, realistic 2D lighting engine, with flashlights and night vision for navigating the dark.
Star Ronin can be wishlisted now on Steam, with a playable demo available immediately. The game is expected to release later in 2026.
