The Dyson Sphere Program is gearing up for a significant free update, titled Rise of the Dark Fog, set to release on December 15, 2023. This update introduces an innovative combat system to the game, a feature planned since the game’s initial release.
Following the serene journey of interstellar construction, the emergence of the Dark Fog brings unexpected challenges to the player’s peaceful journey of automated production. With this addition, players will face a shift in focus from solely constructing production lines and leisurely exploring the universe.
As players expand their reach, the Dark Fog will similarly grow, necessitating vigilance against its movements. Players must construct defensive structures, upgrade and reinforce their mecha, Icarus, and either repel the advancing Dark Fog forces or proactively destroy enemy bases.
Previously, players might have focused on expanding factories after achieving basic automation. Now, the aggressiveness of the Dark Fog correlates with the scale of the player’s factory. Rapid expansion and larger factories attract more Dark Fog, increasing the area vulnerable to attacks. Early in the game, Icarus’ mobility and a few defensive structures might suffice. However, as production lines grow, prioritizing additional defenses becomes crucial.
The combat system enhances the original gameplay, maintaining the importance of constructing automated production bases. Successful defense rewards players, but the profits from battles are designed not to fundamentally alter the gameplay. The focus remains on acquiring raw materials and synthesizing advanced materials through factory output, not combat.
The Dark Fog’s reach extends beyond a single star system, impacting game progression and time management. Lingering too long in one area may allow the Dark Fog to advance elsewhere, forcing players to strategize about landing on Dark Fog-occupied planets or exploring new star systems.
Icarus evolves beyond a mere material transporter, gaining offensive capabilities and growing into a formidable combat force through technological advancements. As players build the Dyson Sphere, they will face increasing attacks, including ground-based assaults and space nest-triggered offensives.
Players must unlock advanced technologies to effectively counter the intensifying Dark Fog threat. We have equipped players with weapons, technologies, and facilities to bolster defense and maintain factory operations. These elements offer players opportunities to develop creative strategies against the Dark Fog.
Visually, the game promises stunning scenes, akin to watching the Dyson Sphere’s construction and the travel of countless ships through space. The combat system brings a visual spectacle of defense towers and Icarus battling the Dark Fog, with the aftermath of battles leaving a trail of destruction.
We thank our players for their ongoing support. This combat system update marks just the beginning of our continuous enhancements in this vast universe. We aim to integrate automated production with space-to-ground battles, keeping the construction of the Dyson Sphere a collaborative effort.
Prepare to immerse yourself in the new world. Dyson Sphere Program is now available with PC Game Pass!

Gamera Game
This game is a work in progress. It may or may not change over time or release as a final product. Purchase only if you are comfortable with the current state of the unfinished game.
Dyson Sphere Program is a sci-fi simulation game with space, adventure, exploration and factory automation elements where you can build your own galactic industrial empire from scratch.
In the distant future, the power of science and technology has ushered a new age to the human race. Space and time have become irrelevant thanks to virtual reality. A new kind of supercomputer has been developed – a machine whose superior artificial intelligence and computing capability will push humanity even further. There is only one problem: there isn’t enough energy in the whole planet to feed this machine.
You are a space engineer in charge of a project launched by the space alliance COSMO, tasked with a massive undertaking: constructing Dyson Spheres (a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its power and energy) to produce the energy that humanity needs. Only a few decades ago, Dyson Spheres were considered a hypothetical, impossible invention – but now it’s in your hands… Will you be able to turn a backwater space workshop into a galaxy-wide industrial production empire?
