Focus Entertainment and Italian studio Broken Arms Games have revealed BioEden — a cozy solarpunk management game about restoring a wounded planet and bringing extinct animals back to life — with a September 3, 2026 PC launch date and a free Steam demo live right now. The world premiere gameplay trailer debuted today at the Future Games Show, and the game is available to pre-order on Steam at $21.99 with a 10% early discount.
Solarpunk as a game aesthetic — optimistic, nature-forward, technology-in-harmony-with-ecology — has been slowly finding its footing as a distinct genre identity, and BioEden is the most direct expression of it yet. You play as a Keeper entrusted by the Cosmic Collective to restore a distressed planet: building domes, managing power grids and water networks, purifying lakes, recycling old structures, and gradually crafting the perfect biomes to welcome dozens of extinct animal species back into a living world. The management layer is purposeful rather than punishing — every decision moves the planet incrementally closer to life.
Building a Planet Back to Life
The core management loop in BioEden centres on a self-sustaining network of interconnected structures — domes that link together into expanding biomes, each requiring balanced resources to function and grow. Power grids, water systems, and ecological economies all interact: managing one affects the others, and the challenge is finding the equilibrium that lets each new biome thrive without destabilising what’s already been built. The extinct animal species arrive as the biomes reach the right conditions — both a reward for careful management and a signal of how close the ecosystem has come to something living and whole.
