The Starbites Gets New Trailer

Developer IKINAGAMES released a new trailer for its upcoming title The Starbites. The two-minute video, released during this week’s G-STAR 2024 event in Korea, shows a mixture of story and gameplay elements as players fight using customisable mechas.

The Starbites is set on the war-torn planet of Bitter and follows rookie scavenger Lukida, whose life changes after being encounters a being called the Oracle. She is based in Delight City, a tower-shaped city that is free-spirited despite being slowly swallowed by the sand. Players advance the story and unlock new parts of the city by interacting with NPCs and finding special objects.

The game will feature turn-based combat, with players forming a part of Lukina’s allies including laid-back drinker Gwendol and calm engineer Badger. Combat makes use of a Drivers High mechanic, where a gauge increased by attacking or taking damage allows players to interrupt the usual turn-order. The Starbites is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. It is planned to release in 2025 and is available to wishlist now on Steam.
