Warp to Sector One launches on Steam November 12, 2026
hextor.Games' space trading sim spans a procedurally generated 2,000-sector galaxy with 11 ship classes and fleets of up to 25 ships.
hextor.Games will release Warp to Sector One on Steam on November 12, 2026, the studio announced.
The game is set in a procedurally generated galaxy of 2,000 sectors and combines trading, combat and exploration. Players choose among 11 ship classes, including the Courier and the Dreadnought, and can upgrade weapons, defense and utility modules to customize their vessels.
Hiring AI captains lets players assemble fleets of up to 25 ships. There are five career paths — merchant, berserker, explorer, diplomat and pioneer — and two combat types: small-scale tactical battles built around phase, posture and momentum meters, and large fleet engagements.
The presentation includes adjustable CRT presets and UI styles ranging from minimalist monochrome consoles to a modern retro look.
An homage to Trade Wars 2002
In earlier statements, the developer said the game pays homage to the 1980s-90s text and ANSI multiplayer space trading game Trade Wars 2002, aiming to faithfully recreate its core concepts and atmosphere. The studio also said the computer UI, wireframe graphics and all-caps text are strongly influenced by 1970s-80s sci-fi films and TV shows.
