Developer and publisher Airship Syndicate (Darksiders Genesis, Ruined King, Wayfinder) has announced a new PC playtest for isometric action-horror shooter DUST: Origins, kicking off today, Friday, November 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST / 4:00 PM CST / 22:00 UTC and running into next week.

Created by artist Joe Madureira and the Airship Syndicate team, DUST: Origins takes place on Limbo-6, a decaying orbital prison platform filled with hostile inmates, ruthless guards, and escaped bio-engineered monsters. You’ll manage limited resources, customize your weapons and armor, and hack terminals as you find different ways through the prison. Your choices can lead to multiple endings and epilogues, with New Game+ unlocking after the first playthrough.
Registration for the playtest is open via email, Discord, or Steam, where completing community quests to reach 300 XP guarantees entry, while in-game milestones and feedback surveys unlock up to two additional friend invites.
DUST: Origins is currently in development for PC via Steam, with a release targeted for early 2027.
