Iceberg Interactive and Little Green Men Games announced that their hugely popular, community-driven space sim-RPG, Starpoint Gemini 2, is launching on Steam today, Friday, September 26.

Starpoint Gemini 2 enables players to command their own Starship, and roam the enormous Gemini star system, to mine, loot, fight or trade — or play missions via the main story arc or side missions.

“This past year of Early Access has been an incredible ride,” said Danijel Mihokovic, Lead Scripter at Little Green Men Games. “We have seen an amazing community take shape and our thanks goes out to them. Our forums really got overwhelmed with positive feedback, productive opinions, and countless new ideas, and in a joint effort between us and our community, we have managed to raise the quality of the game significantly. As we embrace the game’s official release today, we understand one thing — this is the end of one process and the beginning of another. Even after 50 updates during Early Access, the wish-list created on the community forums will enable and oblige us to continue to refine the game and add new content for a long, long while. And that is something we really look forward to.”

Here is the new release trailer:
