Publisher Hooded Horse and developer Wild Fields have announced Rogue Carrier, a new colony management game that combines strategic base building with roguelite progression. The game is coming to PC via Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store, with a day-one release on PC Game Pass.

In Rogue Carrier, players lead a stranded expedition after their mothership is destroyed in orbit, leaving them trapped on a hostile ocean world aboard a massive mobile carrier. To survive, players must gather resources, establish production chains, manage crew morale, and defend against increasingly dangerous alien threats.

Unlike traditional colony simulators, each run is designed to end in failure eventually as the planet becomes more aggressive over time. However, progress carries over between attempts, allowing players to unlock new opportunities, discover hidden lore, and gradually uncover the mystery behind the planet through five possible endings and 50 scenario variants spread across multiple timelines.

Space aboard the carrier is limited, making careful planning essential. You will need to optimize building layouts, adapt to available resources, and specialize their production network while responding to constantly changing conditions.
