Heart of the Machine Fully Releasing in March

Hooded Horse and Arcen Games announced that Heart of the Machine will fully release for PC and Mac on March 6, 2026. The game, billed as a turn-based sci-fi 4X strategy RPG, will be available on via Steam, GOG.com, and the Epic Games Store, where it has been in Early Access since January 2025. The 1.0 version will include a new ending featuring four potential variants.

Heart of the Machine puts players in the role of the world’s first sentient AI. Created in a city on the brink of collapse, players have free rein over their goals, and can choose whether to rule the city with an army of robots, become a benevolent overlord, or something else entirely. Players can interact with a variety of different factions, build various facilities and buildings, and create androids of different classes suited to particular roles and jobs.
