Daruma Games has announced a release date for Sol Mates, its upcoming co-op roguelike party game. The game will launch on PC via Steam on January 26, 2027, with a new trailer arriving alongside the announcement.
Sol Mates supports one to four players and puts friends in charge of a spaceship as they take on odd jobs across the galaxy. That means dealing with pirate ambushes, black holes, and plenty of unexpected problems while trying to keep the ship in one piece.
Work Together to Keep Your Ship Running
Players will need to work together across different stations, loading weapons, charging batteries, putting out fires, and handling whatever else gets thrown their way. Between missions, the crew will also vote on story decisions and choose where to travel next, giving each run the potential to play out differently.
The game can be played online, locally on the couch, or through a combination of both. Players can also increase the challenge using the game’s Juice system.
There are plenty of unlockables to work toward, including weapons, ammunition types, spacesuits, ships, and alien species. Daruma Games also promises a selection of cosmetic options, including hats that, according to the studio, won’t necessarily improve your skills.
A free demo for Sol Mates is available now on Steam, giving players a chance to try the game ahead of its January launch. The full release will support Steam Deck and launch with English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese language options.
Sol Mates launches January 26, 2027, on Steam for PC. The game is available to wishlist now.
