Iceberg Interactive announces the official launch of Into the Stars for Windows on Steam, saying they have added new missions and other content to mark the space simulation's emergence from early access, and there are now localized versions for a number of different languages. Here's a launch trailer, and here's word:

Into the Stars is an open-world space survival simulation that utilizes Unreal Engine 4 to immerse players in a massive star system as they take on the role of Captain and navigate deep space in search of a new home for humanity. With each journey, players will outfit their ships, hand pick their crew and set off on a voyage where they must scavenge resources, shelter civilians and outrun a hostile alien force in order to survive.

“Into the Stars has used the Early Access process to the fullest, leveraging community feedback and numerous updates to fine tune the gameplay experience”, says Ben Jones, development director at Fugitive Games. “With a massive, vibrant universe to explore, Into The Stars provides players with hours of discoverability. Each time someone plays, their strategy skills will be tested by facing incredible obstacles and unique situations from the surface of foreign planets to the hulls of derelict ships.”
