Evaluation

Surviving Mars: Relaunched launched on November 10, 2025, bringing together the original game, all previous expansions, upgraded visuals, and the new Martian Assembly political system. At launch, the developer announced the "Prime Mission" expansion pass — included with the Ultimate Edition — covering a year-long content roadmap with two named upcoming expansions: "Feeding the Future" (food and production systems) and "Machine Utopia" (workplace automation and heavy industry). Since launch, Haemimont Games has been actively developing the game. A series of feature patches shipped between November 2025 and April 2026, including a major rocket and asteroid rework in patch 1.0.7 (April 28, 2026). On June 10, 2026, the developer announced that "Feeding the Future" was being pushed from Q2 to Q3 2026, explaining they wanted to strengthen the base game first — and that a closed beta program was opening to gather feedback on the upcoming content. The developer's ongoing "Haemimont Diaries" series has continued actively through August 11, 2026 (today), with Diaries #3 through #6 published between June 30 and August 11, 2026. These diaries describe substantial gameplay systems — balance reworks, a new research tree (with ~50 new technologies), revised politics and voting, and a redesigned service and colonist stat system — all explicitly tied to the free update that will accompany the "Feeding the Future" DLC release. The most recent post (August 11, 2026) says "when the next update drops, you will experience a very different game," confirming that update has not yet shipped. Both "Feeding the Future" (Q3 2026) and "Machine Utopia" (Q4 2026) remain unshipped. Development communication is active and ongoing as of today.

About this game

See the Red Planet like never before, land for the first time all over again, and discover some brand-new secrets.

Welcome home! The award-winning sci-fi city builder is back - remastered, expanded, and more stunning than ever. Your mission: colonize Mars and survive the process, from exploration and infrastructure to welcoming human colonists and achieving long-term stability. There are new challenges to overcome, new strategies to plan, and now with an upgraded look and feel for a new generation of explorers.

All you need for this relaunched mission to create a thriving Martian settlement is a steady supply of resources, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms… and a curious attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!

Surviving Mars: Relaunched brings together the original colony management game from Haemimont Games, its entire catalogue of expansions, improved and reworked, from major expansions to cosmetics and radio stations, as well as the all-new Martian Assembly update. Upgraded graphics together with updated UI will give veteran players the definitive Surviving Mars experience, and provide an ideal launch point for new commanders as well.

Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you.

The new Martian Assembly brings an expanded endgame challenge never seen in the original. Shape your Martian society through laws. Balance the needs and demands of your colonists, keep the peace and develop a long-term plan for Mars - up to and including independence from Earth!

Building a thriving colony on a planet not fit for human life brings its own challenges. Construct life-support systems, power grids, domes, and supply chains, and keep them running, because blackouts on a planet without oxygen are never a good idea. And you’re not alone. With the included ‘Space Race’ expansion, rival colonies backed by competing sponsors add even more pressure as you fight for resources and the future of Mars.

Balance critical resources like oxygen, water, power, and food to keep your colony alive. Drones build and maintain your infrastructure, while the revamped ‘Martian Express’ adds trains that move people and supplies across longer distances. Every colonist has their own needs and behaviors and smart management is essential for their survival.

Advance your colony through a deep research system that unlocks new buildings, production methods, and essential upgrades. Discover breakthroughs, resources, and hidden secrets reaching ‘Below & Beyond’ the Martian surface. With randomized maps, varied sponsors, and unpredictable Mysteries, every playthrough offers new challenges, and every decision shapes your story of survival and growth on Mars.

Terraforming is no longer a distant dream, it’s your next challenge. With the included ‘Green Planet’ expansion, you can engineer Mars into a more habitable world. As the environment transforms, introduce animal life with ‘Project Laika’, bringing the first creatures to thrive alongside your colonists. The future of Mars isn’t just survival, it’s building a self-sustaining, living planet.
