Couchpotato spotted a new trailer and devlog for the Sci-fi RPG Sector Unknown:

Sector Unknown - Trailer (Updated) - A Sci-Fi RPG

The Setting

As humanity expanded into the cosmos, the narrative of "Sector Unknown" unfolded in a clandestine sector comprising three primary star systems—Xiphos (XPH-6430), Svion (SVN-8912), and Fivo (FIV-6789)—along with several minor ones. These systems were home to the planets Maku, Nabi, Sjo, Eremtera, and Helfyr (more devlogs to come on each of these planets).

For decades, Star Frontier, a colossal trading entity reminiscent of the historical East India Company, attempted to ruthlessly exploit these planets. Operating with impunity due to the sector's erasure from all official star maps, Star Frontier unrelentingly expanded into the sector, unhindered by governmental oversight.

However, after years of over-extension, failing outposts, logistical nightmares, rampant corruption, piracy, and crippling financial losses, a fierce power struggle erupted within Star Frontier's boardrooms, light-years away. This conflict precipitated a sudden and hasty withdrawal from the sector, leaving workers, executives, and soldiers stranded on harsh, unforgiving planets, struggling to survive in a rapidly deteriorating and lawless environment.

Looks and sounds cool. The trailers however look like the computer it was recorded on was even struggline to get 30 fps.

I saw that there is also a demo and prologue which are not released either. Anyone has an idea on how they plan when they want to release what? Also saw that German is only supported in the main game as language, not in the others. So maybe its more of an early EA version they plan to do first?

Looks interesting. Too bad it doesn't appear to be party-based; tactical turn-based plays better with a larger party IMO.

Hrm, from the trailer it looks like it is party based. But maybe not a party at all time? Maybe just one representative character in exploration?

It's definitely party-based. According to this post from March of last year, the party size is 5.
