🚀Fleet Deployment Commencing
Greetings fleet command veterans — CMDR Ken here. If you enjoyed commanding fleets in BattleGroupVR, I’ve got big news: BattleGroupVR2 is live in Early Access today. It’s the next step for the series — bigger fleets, bigger world, new game modes, and a ton of quality-of-life stuff born from everything we learned together in BGVR1.
Here’s what you can jump into right now:
Open World — roam sectors, pick contracts, salvage, and build up your battlegroup at your own pace.
Conquest — push fronts, lower unrest, deliver supplies, hunt pirates, and watch the galaxy react.
Gauntlet — combat endurance test, survive escalating waves, earn upgrades, and chase better loot the deeper you go.
Endless Mode — pure combat sandbox for stress-testing fleets and blowing stuff up for that high score for all to see.
QoL & Tech — better markers on the holomap, improved performance settings, and under-the-hood groundwork for daily map updates.
If you want the bigger picture, I posted a roadmap so you can see what’s coming next and where I’m focusing. View game page
If you liked the first game, please consider:
Picking up BGVR2 while the launch discount (15% off) is active.
Leaving a review once you’ve played a bit—it genuinely moves the needle.
Join the Discord to drop feedback, bugs, and ideas directly to me.
Thank you for carrying BGVR1 all these years and pushing me to make a deeper sequel. See you on the bridge. ❤️

🚀 Back To The Bridge! BattleGroupVR2 Public Demo Is Here! 🚀
Greetings, veterans of BattleGroupVR ! At long last, the day has come to step onto the bridge once more—this time in BattleGroupVR2 . I’ve been hard at work crafting the sequel, and today you can try it for yourself: the free demo for BattleGroupVR2 is now live on Steam. This is
Greetings, veterans of BattleGroupVR! At long last, the day has come to step onto the bridge once more—this time in BattleGroupVR2.
I’ve been hard at work crafting the sequel, and today you can try it for yourself: the free demo for BattleGroupVR2 is now live on Steam. This is your chance to see how the series has grown—bigger battles, new modes, more ships, and a living galaxy to command.
🎮 What’s New in the Demo
Next-Gen Fleet Command in VR The immersive 3D RTS gameplay you know, rebuilt and expanded—take the captain’s chair, issue tactical orders, and watch massive space battles unfold from your bridge.
Story Mission Preview Step into a procedural galaxy where you’ll trade goods, mine asteroids, hunt pirates, and restore honor to your family name.
Gauntlet Mode A new rogue-lite challenge: push deeper into increasingly difficult missions for bigger rewards. But beware—any ship lost is permanent. Withdraw early, or gamble everything for glory.
Bigger, Badder Ships Coming This demo offers a limited fleet to command, but the full game will feature a vast arsenal of tougher, more advanced warships.
📅 The Road Ahead
Early Access launch planned for November 7th, 2025
Voice Commands – Order your fleet with your voice, like a true admiral.
Multiplayer & Co-op – PVP battles and co-op Gauntlet/Open World modes.
Conquest Mode – Join player-driven factions and fight for control of a persistent galaxy.

BattleGroup VR has been in development last 7 years. Initially, it was supposed to be a single-player game, but then the modding, multiplayer, and conquest modes were added. There will be one last update with localization and subtitles and the game will enter 1.0 — the Final Frontier.

I am currently working on Star Survivor (it's vampire survivor in space) — it is a good quick project to practice what I've learned from BattleGroupVR. You could check it out in SpaceOwl bundle to get 10% off both.

I hope to see some of you in the future when I have something to show as I will need captains to test :)
