From Press Release:
April 16, 2026 – Hooded Horse and Eridanus Industries are excited to announce that a major new update is coming to hard sci-fi fleet skirmish game NEBULOUS: Fleet Command. On May 29, 2026, the first act of the game’s official narrative campaign will drop, along with a comprehensive campaign editor.
Players must take command of an Alliance fleet operating behind enemy lines in a dangerous bid to create an opening for the main invasion fleet, with only a rag-tag collection of ships at their disposal – including an aging and retrofitted Fleet Carrier.
The Bethel Star System is in open rebellion, and players must launch a daring strike to destroy enough industry and enemy forces to distract from the main assault. The first act of the campaign comprises of 17 networked missions, ranging from tactical puzzles and small skirmishes to major clashes against OSP forces as it escalates its response to the invasion. The campaign can be played in co-op, with players dividing the available ships among themselves.
Also coming with the next update is a fully comprehensive campaign editor, which will let players create their own campaigns comprising a network of connected battle maps. Each “node” can have primary and secondary objectives, can have pre-defined elements such as ship types, and where they spawn or where they’ll appear from, as well as a node-based script editor that can power cutscenes, trigger events such as the arrival of reinforcements and the completion of objectives, define AI behavior, and more!
Also coming with this update is a graphics upgrade, with all ship models and textures recreated in 4K, plus updated decals, improved damage shaders, and more!

NEBULOUS: Fleet Command is available on PC via Steam Early Access for $29.99 / £24.99 / 29.99 EUR / ¥2,980.00.
