Galactic Civilizations IV - The Supernova Edition

Rise to the Galactic Civilization

Hey space enthusiast, get ready to unpack your astronaut helmet! Galactic Civilizations IV, the popular strategy game that takes you through the infinite depths of the universe, is soon to be fully released. You'll assume the role of a leader of a united world, with the mission to expand your civilization to the stars. Sounds like a challenge? It definitely is! But that's exactly what makes this game so exciting. You're not only responsible for external relations, but also for policies and technology research – a true strategic challenge!

If you're thinking of Sid Meier's Civilization games right now – yes, the gameplay is similar. However, Galactic Civilizations takes a science fiction perspective and immerses you in the vastness of space. And we have good news for you: The full version of the Supernova Edition is finally being released after an exciting early access phase. So hold on tight, we're about to blast off into space!

The Supernova Edition of Galactic Civilizations IV

The Supernova Edition is the largest expansion ever created by Stardock, the creative minds behind Galactic Civilizations. It not only offers a ton of new content but also changes the gameplay in a way you haven't seen before in a 4x game.

What the Supernova Edition brings

  • Cultural Advancements: Evolve and redefine your civilization.
  • Multiple new alien civilizations: Explore the universe and its inhabitants.
  • New combat system: Engage in thrilling space battles against your enemies.
  • New spaceship designer: Create your own ships and fly them to the stars.
  • A new story campaign: Immerse yourself in a captivating space-based narrative.

One of the highlights of the expansion is the integration of AlienGPT. This alien technology allows you to design a custom civilization with generative AI, giving you even more freedom to shape your galactic empire.

The latest installment in Stardock's award-winning space series will be released on Thursday, October 19th. This date is no coincidence – it coincides with the developer's 30th anniversary. All the more reason to celebrate, right?

How to get Galactic Civilizations IV

Can't wait to lead your own civilization into space? No problem! You can purchase Galactic Civilizations IV on Steam or Epic Games. If you buy the game during the early access phase before the release, you can save some money. However, the price will increase after the launch of Supernova.

If you get the game on Epic Games, there's an additional option: you can add the Supernova Edition at a heavily discounted price. Now, that's some good news, isn't it?

Off to the New Galaxy!

So pack up your space gear and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. The stars are already waiting for you! And who knows, maybe it's you who will usher in a whole new era of interstellar communication and cooperation in Galactic Civilizations IV. Let's go to space!
