Ashes of the Singularity 2 release date: 10 November 2026 (confirmed)

Ashes of the Singularity II is the sequel to Oxide Games' 2016 RTS, built for battles with thousands of units at once. Stardock publishes it, and it lands on PC on 10 November 2026, about a month after the date was announced.

The pitch is scale over micromanagement. You pick one of three sides fighting over the solar system: the United Earth Forces, the Post-Human Coalition or the AI Substrate. A Strategic Zoom moves the camera from orbit down to the front line, and the terrain breaks up as battles go on. There is a story campaign, skirmishes against the AI on generated maps, and online play for up to eight, competitive or co-op.

Some things aren't there on day one. A map editor, mod support and the benchmark mode the first game was known for are all listed as possible later additions rather than launch features.

The Steam page also carries an AI disclosure: Stardock says AI helped with cutscene post-processing and animation, and some minor characters use stock AI voices. Our Steam AI disclosure count tracks how common that has become.

If big-army RTS is your thing, our pages on Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour cover the older games people still play, and Dawn of War 4 follows on 3 December.
