Evaluation

Reentry launched its 1.0 release on November 7, 2025, after approximately 10 years of development (7 of which were in Early Access). Since launch, the solo developer at Lyra Creative has maintained a very active update cadence, consistently shipping patches. The June 3, 2026 version 1.1.0 update was explicitly described as a transition into a new development phase — the developer stated that development is "gradually shifting back to normal," meaning continued improvements to existing content alongside "new features and future additions to the simulator." A 2026 State Update video and AMA session were hosted alongside this release to communicate the roadmap forward. The most recent update, patch 1.1.2 released on September 14, 2026, continues this trajectory. It delivered further Flight Plan Mode improvements for Apollo 8, 11, and 16 missions (now covering full launch-to-splashdown), Lunar Module descent and landing radar improvements, memory leak fixes, and checklist enhancements. Critically, the developer states within this patch that Apollo 15 Flight Plan Mode is "currently being worked on" and that "the initial test version of it will hopefully roll out in one of the next patches" — making this a clear, explicit statement of ongoing development work with content actively in progress. There is no indication that development is slowing or concluding. The developer is actively communicating, shipping updates approximately every few weeks, and has identified specific content under current development.

About this game

Launch into space and operate real spacecraft systems the way astronauts did.

Reentry is a realistic space flight simulator-game that blends authentic spacecraft systems with structured missions, progression, and guided learning, and aims to meet the middle-ground between a simulator and a game.

Create your own astronaut, complete historical and fictional missions, gain experience, and gradually master increasingly sophisticated spacecraft operations.

Spacecraft are extraordinarily advanced machines designed to survive and operate in one of the most hostile environments imaginable. In Reentry you will interact directly with their systems by managing guidance computers, propulsion systems, navigation, life support, and mission procedures.

To support both curious explorers and experienced simulator players, the game provides a full learning environment: the in-game Space Flight Academy, detailed spacecraft manuals, and step-by-step checklists. Reentry gives you the tools to learn these complex vehicles.

Watch the sunrise while orbiting Earth at 25,500 ft/s. Navigate toward the Moon. Monitor the systems that keep you alive while the planet moves beneath you. Feel the solitude and responsibility of being in space.

Reentry is a game about exploration and the experience of operating real spacecraft systems.

Learn the procedures. Master the systems. Complete the missions.
