The Space Age expansion that every Factorio fan is waiting for finally has a release date attached to it. Developer Wube Software has unceremoniously announced the expansion's launch date to be October 21 on the latest Friday Facts blog post.

"The reasoning for this date is that it will give us enough time after summer vacations to polish the release, while also leaving enough time afterwards if we need to do bugfix patches before the Christmas holidays," says the studio regarding the chosen schedule.

The expansion will build upon the various harvesting and automation systems that the base game offers, continuing the journey after its ending to take players to space on the rockets they have built. "Discover new worlds with unique challenges, exploit their novel resources for advanced technological gains, and manage your fleet of interplanetary space platforms," adds the studio.
