I have high hopes for this. Never played the first one and don’t intend to. But from what I’ve read this could be the defining 4X time of current times. I heavily disagree with the art direction – mostly in regards to the ships – but the openness of the game and engine makes up for that. The devs are going to release many of their own tools to the community: A Starmap Editor, An Effect Editor, A Module Editor, A Scenario Editor, A Ship Editor Tech Tree Editor.
And don’t even get me started on future expansions + features :)
They target a release on october 28th, by the way.
Let’s see what comes up. Yes, they are targeting the Oct, 28th for the digital release. It was marked still as 28th TBC but today I noticed that they removed the TBC from Paradox’s website so it seems it’s gonna happen that day.
