Press release:
Breda, The Netherlands – March 5, 2026. Indie developer CableHook Games is proud to announce that Here Comes The Swarm is now available on PC via Steam Early Access. Players can immediately dive into the survival RTS’s brutal combat, strategic depth, and divine powers, taking their first steps to reclaim a world overrun by a planet-consuming hive mind. Here Comes The Swarm is available via Steam Early Access now for $19.99/€19.99/£16.99 with a limited-time 10% launch discount!

The Early Access launch allows fans to experience the first phase of the game and directly influence its ongoing development evolution. CableHook Games will actively work with the community throughout Early Access to refine gameplay, expand content, adjust balance, and guide the long-term vision leading up to the full Version 1.0 release.

Fight, Build, Survive
In Here Comes The Swarm, players must defend humanity’s last foothold on Ulora. Expand settlements, gather resources, and prepare your forces for the endless waves of the swarm. Tactical pause allows strategic planning on the fly, while expeditions push players beyond safety to confront the source of the infestation.

Harness Divine Power
Choose from powerful deities and wield their blessings to turn the tide. Will you favour resilience, destruction, or cunning? The decisions you make, and the powers you invoke, shape not only your strategy but the fate of Ulora itself.

Explore, Adapt, Conquer
The initial Early Access version features tutorials, skirmishes, expeditions, and first encounters with the mighty Tiamman and Karkadann. Each expedition brings unpredictable threats, blessings, and enemy evolutions, allowing players to experiment with builds and roguelike adaptations that carry over as the game grows.

Early Access Roadmap

CableHook Games has also revealed the first details of Here Comes The Swarm’s ongoing Early Access development roadmap, with exciting monthly content drops for the first three updates, with more planned.

Update 1 (Month 1) – Arcanum loadouts, fixes, and balancing

Update 2 (Month 2) – New Player Unit Type

Update 3 (Month 3) – Yangwhu deity (new deity tree and arcanum)
