Evaluation

Selaco has been in Steam Early Access since May 31, 2024, and remains there. The developer, Altered Orbit Studios, posted its most recent update on June 25, 2026 — just one day before today's assessment — confirming that Chapter 2 is on track for a Q4 2026 launch. The post detailed a playable internal build of the entire chapter (still needing polish and missing some assets), an ongoing technical beta with Patreon backers, and new content reveals including a jetpack weapon, wristpad abilities, squad mate companions, and a nearly-finished Chapter 2 soundtrack. Beta keys for a broader technical test are expected to go out within one to two months. The studio has maintained a consistent pattern of "State of Development" posts roughly every three months throughout Early Access, with major content patches shipping in June 2024 (v0.84), November 2024 (v0.86 with the Special Campaign), May 2025 (v0.90 anniversary update), September 2025 (v0.91 quality-of-life update), and ongoing work toward the Chapter 2 release. A new programmer joined the team in March 2025, and the lead developer secured a dedicated office space — both signs of a studio investing in continued development. Earlier posts also referenced Chapter 3 as a future milestone after Chapter 2, meaning the game is still well short of its intended full 1.0 release. Players waiting for the complete game should expect Chapter 2 to arrive in Q4 2026, with further chapters to follow.

About this game

Selaco is a brand new original shooter inspired by classics, featuring thrilling action set pieces, destructibility, smart enemies and a fleshed out story taking place within an immersive game world. It draws inspiration heavily from F.E.A.R. in terms of action set pieces, while mixing exploration elements from Half-Life, along with some more modern features.

The story takes place during a violent invasion on Selaco, a massive space station sheltering the last refugees after Earth’s fall just a few years prior. You play as Dawn Collins, an ACE Security Captain who, with her recent promotion and high level security clearances, is digging deep into the truth behind Selaco's murky history. Before she can finish her investigation, Selaco is rocked by explosions and armed invaders.

  • A lengthy adventure-driven campaign

Selaco offers a massive, uninterrupted journey packed with action and atmosphere. Explore a wide range of environments in a fully connected world - no cutaways, no time jumps, just seamless momentum from start to finish.

  • Intense Action set pieces

Blast through your environment with impactful weapons that really leave a mark on the world. That once lavish office space, now nothing but a pile of rubble with broken paintings, smashed tables, screen, chairs, smoke, and chunks of debris.

  • Custom AI

Selaco’s AI was built from the ground up for dynamic, coordinated combat. Enemies communicate, flank, suppress, and adapt to your tactics - keeping pressure when you're aggressive or rushing when you're vulnerable. Hundreds of voiced lines hint at their next move, making every fight feel alive.

  • Full soundtrack

Selaco features an original, full-length soundtrack composed by Lawrence Steele, with over 3 hours of neon-tinged electronica spanning from high-intensity combat tracks to immersive, atmospheric soundscapes.

  • Adapt & Overcome

As enemies evolve and gain access to new tools, so do you. Improve your weaponry with new utility upgrades, or transform weapon behavior entirely with Weapon Kits.

  • Replayability

Selaco is designed with replayability in mind. Jump into Randomizer Mode to experience remixed mechanics, exclusive enemies, and fully customizable chaos. Or test your skills in Incursion Mode (coming later during Early Access), an endless survival challenge set in Deathmatch-style arenas.
