Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Unsung Heroes 1898 is, for the most part, developed by one person. Throughout Early Access, much of the game's content and mechanics will be either influenced or directed by community feedback and suggestions. Going through Early Access allows the game to be molded into the best state it could possibly be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

The game will be in Early Access for roughly two years. Depending on community involvement and resources made available to development, this timeline may be made shorter. There is currently a well-defined roadmap within the game that states the intended features of the full version. This will be updated regularly to give players a current estimate of how long Early Access will be if the timeline does shorten.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The current plan for the final version of the game is for the complete implementation of a singleplayer story campaign, alongside additional maps, game modes, and firearms.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game initially launches on Steam as Alpha 2. Alpha 2 features three maps, five firearms (three American, two Spanish), and the standard battle mode available in instant action. Players also have access to the game's modding tools. The first set of regular (non-major) updates will expand on Alpha 2 by polishing and perfecting the base game.
Alpha 3 and onwards will look toward expanding the game with additional maps, weapons, and the story campaign.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During the course of Early Access, the game's price will not change.

Upon the game's full version launch, the price will be increased once to reflect the content and features of the final game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback and suggestions are always welcome! While not all suggestions are likely to be implemented, the goal is to regularly involve the community in the development process. This will be done through developer livestreams, various threads on the discussions page, and through the game's community Discord server.
We plan on regularly posting hotfixes between content updates to address bugs and implement minor changes based on critical reports.”

About This Game

Unsung Heroes 1898 is a first-person shooter set during the overlooked yet pivotal Spanish-American War. Engage in large-scale, dynamic battles across the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico — where history can be relived or rewritten. Step into the boots of any soldier on the field and experience this forgotten chapter of warfare from a bold new perspective.

The Battlefield is Yours — Be Anyone.

Take control of the battlefield with Combatant Shift — a dynamic mechanic that lets you seamlessly swap between any allied infantry, officer, or artillery crew at any moment. Every unit brings its own strengths, weaknesses, and tactical role. Victory doesn't belong to a single hero — it takes a full army, and you're in command of them all.

Open-Ended Battles — Command Your War

Each battlefield is chaotic, unforgiving, and fully in your hands. Choose your strategies and lead the charge from the ground, adapting in real time as the tide of war shifts around you. With non-linear objectives and full tactical freedom, victory is never handed to you. You'll have to earn it.

Truth in Every Trigger. History in Every Step.

Every weapon, uniform, and battle in Unsung Heroes 1898 is crafted with care and historical precision — built from real-world references to bring this overlooked war to life. Fight through faithfully recreated battles, or slow things down in Museum Mode, an interactive space where you can explore artifacts and stories from the war. Whether you're here to engage or to learn, this is history like you've never played it before.

Forge the Future Together

Your voice matters on this battlefield. As Unsung Heroes 1898 launches in Early Access, community feedback will play a vital role in shaping the game's evolution. From balancing gameplay to refining features, your input helps steer development. With upcoming mod tools and a full map editor, you'll be able to create your own battles and expand the experience far beyond the base game.

Key Features

  • Play in offline single-player a full campaign mode that takes you across all the major land battles of the Spanish-American War (not available on initial Early Access release) or play on maps against bots with custom rules.
