Indie developer Cyberwave and publisher Rokaplay have released a new gameplay trailer for Solarpunk, a cozy survival crafting game set on floating islands. The title features solo and co-op play, with a free demo now available during Steam Next Fest. A full release is planned for 2026.
Solarpunk offers players a relaxed experience in a high-tech world of floating islands, where they can build sky-high homesteads, craft gadgets, and explore using customizable airships. Developed by Cyberwave and published by Rokaplay, the game emphasizes sustainable living through renewable energy sources like sun, wind, and water. Players can generate electricity, store it in batteries, and automate tasks such as resource gathering and plant watering with transport drones.
The game's mechanics include peaceful farming of fruits and vegetables, as well as coexistence with animals—pigs, for instance, dig up truffles when treated well. Solo players or co-op teams can design homes with various materials and decorations, adapting to weather conditions that affect energy production. Exploration involves drifting between islands in the clouds aboard player-constructed airships.
This week's trailer provides the first official look at these features, highlighting the hopeful and vibrant setting. The free demo, part of Steam Next Fest, allows immediate access to try building, crafting, and automating in this skybound environment. While specific release details remain pending, the game is slated for 2026, positioning it as a future entry in cozy survival titles.
