Astrolabe Games will publish the high-speed 3D mecha action game Omega Phenex Commenced Project Six on PC and consoles [1].
The partnership marks a significant step toward the commercial release of a project that represents a massive solo effort. The game aims to deliver a fast-paced combat experience centered on mecha action, showcasing the technical capabilities of a long-term independent development cycle [3].
Surume Game Koubou, the developer behind the title, has spent over eight years [3] creating the experience. The project was previously known simply as Project Six before receiving its official title [2]. A new trailer highlights the game's core mechanics, featuring the mecha "Icarus" engaging in high-speed combat over seas and clouds [3].
An open beta test for the game became available in April 2026 [2, 4]. This testing phase allowed players to experience the combat systems on PC via Steam [4]. The developer used this window to refine the gameplay before moving toward a full launch.
The game is slated for a full release in 2027 [5]. While the PC version will be available through Steam, the title is also planned for release on unspecified consoles [1, 4].
Astrolabe Games took over the publishing rights this month [1, 5]. This move provides the solo developer with the resources necessary to navigate the final stages of production, and marketing for the 2027 launch [5].
“The game is slated for a full release in 2027.”
The transition from a solo-developed project to a published title under Astrolabe Games suggests a shift from a passion project to a commercial product. For the indie gaming sector, an eight-year development cycle is an extraordinary commitment, and the move to consoles indicates an ambition to reach a broader market beyond the Steam ecosystem.
