Mars-set RTS game Crimson Freedom will receive a demo on Steam next week, ahead of its 2026 release date.
Developer Yboga doo will release the Crimson Freedom demo on February 16, 2026, but you can wishlist it now to get notified when it goes live.
Crimson Freedom Goes to War on Mars
The single-player first RTS features a story-driven campaign that offers unique perspectives on the struggle for humanity’s future.
The story of Crimson Freedom is set in the near future, where Earth is ruled by Orbis Concordia, a flawless global order that has eliminated crime, chaos, and freedom. Those who still dared to think freely fled to Mars, seeking autonomy beyond Earth’s perfect tyranny.
While Orbis still claims dominion over Mars, the planet has also become home to AscentX, a powerful mega-corporation led by a visionary billionaire Ellis, whose ambition reaches beyond politics toward the fusion of human consciousness and machine intelligence.
When Orbis launches a devastating assault on Mars, a planet-wide war erupts, forcing the three factions to fight for their own vision of humanity’s future.
The game will offer a more relaxed pace than most RTS games, with a focus on commanding epic battles rather than resource micromanagement or high APM demands.
Even if it is a tad more casual on that front, Crimson Freedom also promises the ability to design complex army compositions and offers unique unit abilities to turn the tide of war.
