Roguelike Game ‘Steredenn’ To Get ‘Binary Stars’ Update On iOS in January

Steredenn is a roguelike game from Pixelnest Studio. The game was originally launched on Steam back in 2015, and made its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the following year. It was well-loved by players across all platforms. Still, Steredenn did not make a mobile appearance until May last year, when the developers finally launched an iOS version. It was worth the wait, though, since this mobile version came with brand new features and improvements that made it function incredibly well on a touchscreen device. And now, the huge update titled Steredenn: Binary Stars, which is already available on other platforms, is also coming to this iOS version as well.

For those who are unfamiliar with Steredenn, it is a 2D shoot ‘em up game with pixelated graphics, in which you control a spaceship to fight against deadly space pirates in hazardous environments. You can see how the gameplay is like in the video below:

The development of Binary Stars began even before the iOS release. This is a massive update that adds several new playable ships weapons, as well as numerous new bosses, and a lot more. The developers took more than a year before they were able to finish and release this update on the Nintendo Switch last March. Since then, they have been working to bring Binary Stars to all the other platforms. One by one Steam, PS4 and Xbox One all got the “Binary” treatment, but an iOS version was still nowhere to be seen. Now, the developers has announced in a blog post that Binary Stars will be coming to iOS in January 2019. Needless to say, this is an exciting news for fans.

Unfortunately, this great news is followed by a not-so-great one: Pixelnest also said in the blog post that the studio is going to be disbanded. This might sound surprising to some, but Pixelnest consists of only two people, and now they want to go in separate directions. That does not mean they will stop supporting Steredenn: Binary Stars completely, as they will keep releasing updates and bug fixes as needed. They just won’t be developing any new games, at least not under the name Pixelnest anyway.
