It seems Ziggy’s Cosmic Adventures is rounding the bend, as the promising VR cockpit adventure now has an official launch date, bringing what looks like some madcap ship management and action-arcade combat next week.

Update (November 3rd, 2023): Stardust Collective announced Ziggy’s Cosmic Adventures is finally headed to PC VR and Quest this month, launching on November 9th. You can wishlist on Steam and pre-order on the Quest Store, where it’s currently 10% off of its $20 launch price. The original article follows below the game’s most recent trailer:

Original Article (July 21st, 2023): In Ziggy’s Cosmic Adventures you pilot your own starship, which not only tasks you with maneuvering the craft around manually (as you do), but also keeping all of the ship’s systems in check, including shields, weapons, life support, thrusters, stabilizers—all of which are powered by a bank of constantly depleting batteries.

Meanwhile, you’re being chased through the galaxy with a little alien pal in tow, something the developers Stardust Collective say you “may or may not have stolen from the evil Empire.”

There’s no release date yet for the plucky ship simulator, although it now has a big ‘coming soon’ appended to both its Steam and new Quest Store pages.

In the game’s Discord, the developers say in an update that they’ve now crossed into the “hardening’ phase, saying that both features and content are now complete.

We’ll be keeping an eye on Stardust Collective’s Twitter for more info as it arrives.
