Publisher Mythwright and developer Spooky Rabbits have unveiled Model Kit Studio, a relaxing simulation game centered around the art of building and customizing mecha model kits. The game is scheduled to launch on Steam in 2027, with its first public playtest available now for players eager to get hands-on with the experience.
Designed as a digital model-builder’s workshop, Model Kit Studio recreates the satisfying process of assembling intricate mecha kits from the ground up. Players will cut, file, assemble, and customize individual pieces while creating a growing collection of detailed mechanical creations.
The game aims to capture the relaxing and rewarding nature of model building, allowing players to settle into a creative flow as they carefully craft each mecha. Once assembled, models can be personalized with a variety of paints, decals, and finishing touches, giving every creation a unique look.
Customization is a major focus of the experience. Players can apply paint using traditional brushes or airbrush tools and decorate their models with decals to add extra detail. The extensive customization options encourage builders to experiment with different color schemes and styles while expanding their collection over time.
Beyond the workshop, Model Kit Studio also includes a dedicated photo studio where completed models can be posed and displayed. Players can create detailed dioramas, capture their favorite builds, and share their creations with the game’s community. The feature also allows builders to browse and gather inspiration from the designs of other players.
The game features a roster of original mecha designs created specifically for Model Kit Studio. Each model has been carefully crafted to offer a detailed and authentic building experience while showcasing a variety of unique mechanical styles.
In addition to model building, players will be able to explore the game’s environment and uncover a narrative centered on a shared love of the hobby. Along the way, they will meet fellow enthusiasts, learn their stories, and become part of a community brought together through their passion for model-making.
Model Kit Studio is currently targeting a 2027 release on Steam. Players interested in getting an early look at the game can download the newly available playtest and add it to their wishlist.
