Today, Firaxis games and 2k have announced the latest in a long line of strategy games with Starships, a turn-based adventure driven title set in the Civilization: Beyond Earth universe. Starships is slated for release in early 2015, available for digital download for PC via Steam, Mac, and Ipad via the App Store.
Players will take command of a fleet of starships embarking on various missions across the cosmos. You will work to protect planets and your growing civilization, while also working to forge an intergalactic federation that will bring about an unprecedented age of peace across the galaxy. Starships aims to build a game world focusing on starship design, space combat, adventure, and exploration.
For those who have played Civilization: Beyond Earth, Starships will explore the fate of the other colony ships that embarked from a dying Earth. Players will learn what happened to their star scattered brethren. By expanding your influence and the strength of your fleet, dynamic missions will unlock that adapt to each replay session. The new title will also feature cross-connectivity with Civilization: Beyond Earth, offering even greater depth to both gaming experiences.
