Shapez 2 early access release date confirmed

As a long-time fan of factory building games, I can hardly contain my excitement as tobspr Games finally sets a firm release date for shapez 2! Having followed its development closely, I’ve been impressed by the game’s unique concept and the level of detail the developer has put into it.

The game development company tobspr Games has announced a specific release date for their upcoming top-down factory building game, Shapez 2. This anticipated title is not too far in the future.

On August 15th, Steam early access will see the release of Shapez 2. This isn’t the only exciting news, though. The developer also revealed that over 300,000 users have added the game to their wishlists, demonstrating the significant popularity of factory building games in today’s market.

Check out the release date trailer, below:

Starting August 15th, shapez 2 will go live on Steam Early Access! Build sleek space factories to dismantle and reassemble shapes. With an abundance of resources at your disposal and zero construction costs, everyone can experiment with creating various shapes and solving production puzzles at their leisure. As you progress, unlock advanced technologies to manufacture more intricate shapes for the vortex. Unlike its predecessor, shapez 2 does not follow a set recipe – buildings serve basic functions such as splitting shapes in half, altering colors or stacking them. It’s your responsibility to devise methods to transform fundamental circles and squares into an array of vibrant shapes!
InShapez 2, you begin with modest operations and apply the abilities gained during gameplay to establish intricate factory structures. These structures serve as foundations, which can be interconnected using space belts. Over time, you’ll acquire the capability to transport shapes over greater distances (and at increased speeds) via trains – a novelty in Shapez! Additionally, this installment introduces 3D gameplay, enabling players to stack up to three belts vertically for enhanced optimization. You can observe the different layers from an external perspective or momentarily pause your factory management for relaxation.
During the Early Access debut, Shapez 2 offers four distinct gameplay styles: Normal, Hard, Insane, and a novel Hexagonal mode where shapes comprise six sides rather than the standard four. For those craving an extra level of difficulty beyond Insane, customization options are available for other modes to impose additional limitations. ToSpr Games meticulously refined the game’s visuals, ensuring they remain captivating regardless of scale. As we approach the final release, developers will continue enhancing the experience by introducing more modes and content.

Tobias Springer, the founder of tobspr Games, expresses his pride in reaching the stage where “Shapez 2” can be launched in Early Access. The game currently delivers a complete experience deserving of a full release, but the team will use this time to enhance it further by refining details and adding additional content until they are completely pleased with the final product. They are grateful for their dedicated community’s support throughout this process, as they will contribute invaluable feedback during Early Access. Without the players’ involvement, the game would not have advanced to its current stage.

During the early access stage of Shapez 2, the game will cost $24.99, €24.99 or £20.99. There’s also a “supporter edition” available for an additional price, which includes cosmetic rail twisters and loops as well as a longer soundtrack, totaling approximately 40 extra minutes of music.
