Starward

Starward is a free-to-play online fighting game built around a continuous live service structure. Since its April 2024 launch, the game has progressed through numbered versions at a consistent cadence of roughly every 6–10 weeks, each delivering new playable characters, collaboration events, seasonal cosmetics, and Season Pass content. The most recent activity confirms the service is fully active: Version 3.1 launched with four new characters, summer event skins, and a returning Frame Arms Girl collaboration. Version 3.2 has already been previewed (August 7, 2026), announcing the new character "Binary Star" Reah, a Season Pass swimsuit skin, and a new collaboration with Kaitian Creation. Additionally, two further collaborations have been announced — one with Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: Exceeds Gun Blaze Vengeance (August 9, 2026) and one with NINE REALMS (June 26, 2026) — confirming that multiple future content drops are already in the pipeline. Regular character balance patches on July 9 and July 30, 2026 further reflect ongoing active management of the game. This is a game designed to receive new characters, skins, events, and collaborations on a rolling basis indefinitely, with no stated endpoint.
