Spring Update - June 2025

We're starting summer with our first Early Access update! You'll find new content, some Quality-of-Life changes, and fixes! Enjoy :-)

Were excited to announce a long-awaited feature you can now choose from five difficulty levels for each campaign mission! Whether youre looking for a more relaxed experience or a real challenge, you can tailor the gameplay to suit your style. And thats just the beginning in the future, we plan to enhance this feature with additional elements, such as:

• Stars are awarded based on the difficulty level you complete a mission on

• Dynamic gameplay elements that adjust depending on the chosen difficulty

• And more surprises to come!

Welcome Modu!

We're excited to announce the 2025 Roadmap for Moduwar, this roadmap includes New game modes, new maps, UI Optimization and many other things. For the past week since the release of Moduwar your feedback and support helped us to shape this roadmap and made the future of the game clearer.

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/33612624/db75857881e7fe1061a2850d0bcc426a6f42169b.png"][/img]

Moduwar had a release party!

The release of Moduwar isnt just a milestone or a mere event, it was a dream coming true, so of course we needed to celebrate it properly!

[carousel autoadvance="true"][img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/33612624/d9a842397dada074e5f9fcf80efbde04b9049759.jpg"][/img][img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/33612624/1eb567fc80251a19496e10c9109f4ef251b8f136.jpg"][/img][img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/33612624/08b29f894e17eae821acfefde84765aece59e9eb.jpg"][/img][/carousel]

A word From Alon Kaplan co-founder of Moduwar:

Moduwar is Released on Steam!

I cant believe this day has finally come.

Right now, Im going through the full spectrum of emotions, and its hard to put into words whats in my heart but Ill try:

As a kid, I taught myself how to code and used to make little games for fun (alongside my love for music, of course).

Later on, I became a full-blown gamer, spending countless hours with strategy games like Red Alert, Dune 2, Warcraft, and StarCraft some of my all-time favorites.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Id one day be part of creating something this big something real, something that people around the world can now play.

Ten years ago, Alon Tzarafi and I decided to make a small game just for fun.

We wanted to create something different not just another RTS like the classics we loved.

So we started meeting up at cafs, brainstorming, trying to think of something original. After three or four sessions, the concept for Moduwar was born and the rest is history. :)

The journey since then has been long and full of challenges, failures, and surprises.

Along the way, many amazing friends joined the ride. At one point, 14 people were working on the game and some are still with us to this day.

The more progress we made, the farther the finish line seemed, with obstacles that at times felt impossible to overcome.

In the past year, we partnered with a French publisher who helped us bring Moduwar across the finish line and now here we are.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported us along the way <3

Community:

We wanted to thank again everyone who gave positive reviews and important feedback, it's extremely helpful for our game,so its give a great image of Moduwar and giving us a lot of tools to improve.

With the Early Access release of Moduwar in just a week, we know many of you have questions about our game. This FAQ gathers the most important information to help you better understand what to expect on launch day and beyond.

What is Moduwar?

Moduwar is an adaptive organic RTS where you control an alien creature, and your body is your army. Grow new organs, split, merge, and mutate them into unique units that adapt to your needs as you fight against human and alien threats. Unveil the sci-fi world behind the Modu with a narratively led single-player campaign and different game modes, including multiplayer PVP.

What kind of RTS Moduwar is?

Moduwar is a non-traditional, adaptive RTS where your body is your army - splitting, mutating, and evolving in real time instead of building bases or training units - featuring fully modular, living structures; merge-and-split mechanics for shape-shifting warfare; deep narrative-driven gameplay, and nostalgic 90s RTS inspiration.

Is Moduwar similar to StarCraft 2?

Moduwar shares core gameplay and control styles with StarCraft 2, drawing heavy inspiration from the Zergs organic design and swarm tactics - reimagined as a fully modular, living organism that splits, mutates, and evolves in real time.

What makes Moduwar unique compared to other RTS games?

Moduwars uniqueness lies in its fully adaptable living army where your base and units are one, growing and evolving organs that function as mobile, interconnected parts. You create and reshape tailored units in real time by merging and splitting these parts, allowing dynamic strategies that adapt to challenges and fit your playstyle. Also, we have live-action cutscenes! :-)

Can you customize your modu?

Yes! In Moduwar, you can fully customize your Modu by growing, merging, and rearranging different organs and organ combinations in real time, creating unique units tailored to your playstyle and strategic needs.

Who are the 3 factions?

Human-Modu: Captured and tamed by humans, usually small with few organs. Captain Miller raised an exceptional specimen that he believes will change the war. Chimera-Modu: Brainwashed beasts created by the Chimera, fiercely loyal to their masters. The most advanced is rumored to be Chimera Elder Narraks pet. Free-Modu: Wild and semi-aggressive, defending their territories fiercely. Island-sized Free-Modu sightings are increasing but remain undocumented. Is the game going to have a custom mod? Currently not planned, maybe in the future if there is a lot of demand for that.

What is the pacing of the game like?

Moduwars pacing is flexible - you can play fast and aggressive or slow and defensive, building one massive creature to explore or hold territory.

What can we expect from cutscenes? How are they made?

Players can now tweak settings like resource limits, tech levels, the number and direction of enemy attack paths (including randomized patterns), and whether or not you can build between waves in Survival Mode. On top of that, you can select a specific preset combining all these options and compete on its dedicated Steam leaderboard, going head-to-head with other players who took on the same challenge.

Accessibility options, such as colorblind modes, are not available at the moment, but we understand their importance and may consider adding them in the future.

The wait is over, Moduwar has an official release date for Early Access: June 3rd,2025

After so many years together, we can finally announce to you: Moduwar will be officially out in Early Access on June 3rd,2025, on Steam! This is a significant step forward for our team, we are finally releasing our dream game soon. But early access does not mean that we have finished the development of our game; it still needs improvement and work. We look forward to your feedback!

Moduwar dev update

I cant quite put into words what it feels like to reach the finish linewell, Early Accessfor a game youve been working on for nearly a decade. But its finally happening, and Im feeling the full spectrum of emotions. In the next update, I want to take you behind the scenes and share everything we've been working on in these final months leading up to release. And believe me, its a lot. It honestly feels like a years worth of work packed into just four months - Alon Kaplan

Campaign Deep Dive

In the single-player campaign, we already had three levels in a relatively polished state, but recently, we wrapped up work on Level 3, which weve been pouring a lot of effort into. This level marks a major turning point: it's the first time players will encounter the enemy spaceships of Moduwars main antagoniststhe ruthless Chimera.
Chimera spaceships Level 3 also introduces two brand-new creatures:

• Mogar a fearsome boss thats as terrifying as it is powerful.
• The Spitter - a mysterious new monster that still doesnt have an official namebecause the Reddit post we shared asking for name ideas absolutely blew up! With so many amazing suggestions, were still narrowing it down.

Mogar
Spitter This level also contains hidden clues about the history of the humans who once explored the planetuncovering fragments of their past missions and intentions. You'll also get your first glimpse into the mysterious Free Modu, a unique faction whose story will unfold further as you progress through the game.

Live Action Cutscenes

Another major thing were working on right now is the production of live-action cutscenescomplete with actors, extras, and an absolutely wild spaceship bridge set. For us, this is a dream come true. Its our tribute to the classic RTS games we grew up loving, the ones that inspired us to make Moduwar in the first place. These cutscenes will tell the overarching story of Moduwar and finally give players a glimpse into the world weve been imagining and building for years.
Spaceships

New Features & Improvements

Weve made major improvements to the merging system, making it far more intuitive and user-friendly. One big upgrade: youll now see visual arrows indicating exactly where the merge will happenso no more guessing or misplacing your units mid-battle. (Yes, we know the arrows are currently red... thats just a placeholderfor now! )
Merging tool

Introducing Large Organs!

Last year, we introduced a powerful new mechanic: the ability to combine three turrets into one massive Turret Organ. Now, weve expanded that idea across the entire game. Every organ in Moduwar can now be combined into a large organsome are simply stronger versions of their original form, while others unlock special abilities that can dramatically shift the course of battle. Discovering what each one does is part of the fun... if you can manage to build them.
Turret Organ

World Map Upgrade!

Weve finally overhauled Moduwars world map with smooth animations and detailed level information. Each mission now comes with a short introduction, giving players helpful context and a taste of the story before diving in. Its not just a map anymoreits the start of your journey.
World Map

Main Menu Visual Updates

Our main menu has received a fresh visual upgradecomplete with new graphics, animations, and of course, our new publishers logo: FireSquid!
