14 DAY TRIAL // The 4X grand strategy genre has become pretty competitive in the last few years. There are so many great games that belong to this subgenre, such as Stellaris, Galactic Civilizations, Distant Worlds, Humankind, Endless Legend, Civilizations and many more.
But more are coming this year, with The Pegasus Expedition leading the pack. Publisher 1C Entertainment has just announced it has teamed up with indie developer Kalla Gameworks to bring their upcoming 4X grand strategy, The Pegasus Expedition, to PC this year.
The Pegasus Expedition is a story-driven sci-fi grand strategy game set in a key moment for humankind’s survival. Facing an overwhelming threat at home, humanity sends an expedition to the Pegasus Galaxy in a desperate attempt to find a refuge for the population of Earth, only to find themselves in the middle of an interstellar war they inadvertently started.
Players will lead one of these fleets, and their mission will soon transition from exploration to governance, conquest, and eventually a fight for survival. The game promises a challenging story where nothing is self-evident and every decision will have its consequences.
Building on the legacy of the grand strategy genre, The Pegasus Expedition adds a strong narrative side to the classic 4X-gameplay which involves managing your diplomatic ties, armies, economy and scientific development.
The Pegasus Expedition features immense handcrafted world, which ensures a re-playable campaign set in a rich, vast universe. Developers promise to provide a rewarding gameplay experience featuring versatile 4X gameplay with many possible approaches to various challenges the campaign presents.
Although the game doesn’t have a release date yet, 1C Entertainment announced The Pegasus Expedition is planned to release on PC via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store and other digital stores in 2022.
More importantly, fans of the genre will get a chance to prove they have what it takes to save mankind for the first time in a playable demo available for the upcoming Steam Next Fest, starting June 13.
