For complete details on what’s new on Legends I invite you to read the Distant Worlds Legends preview article. I’ll post here the bottom line of that preview for the hasty:
«I am really looking forward for Legends. And if you’re a 4X space strategy game lover, as I am, I think you cannot afford to miss this one either. I think they’re making history here. In my opinion Distant Worlds Legends shows enough potential to be running for the best 4X space strategy game ever made. That’s a very controversial and bold statement to throw I know, but I’m totally convinced that Legends may be that good (Space Sector: Adam Solo)»
For even more details I recommend you have a look at the next trailer made by the developers and the publisher, which features Legends new gameplay features.
You can buy Legends at the publisher’s store (Matrix Games), the only place where it is being sold at the moment. There’s a digital download version and a physical copy version of the game that also allows you to download your game for free.

I’m not seeing the prices you list but instead
Distance Worlds $29.99
Return $18.99
Legends $22.18
Probably it’s VAT or something, let me re-check. Sorry about that.
Ok, I removed the prices since they seem to be different depending on where you are I guess. The promotions are ok.
Nevermind.
I feel foolish $CAD -> $US.
Ha. Ok, so I’ll probably get the prices back. No need to feel foolish, it’s also my mistake by not putting USD, as I should.
Awesome! I can’t wait to try it. Downloading it now. Thanks for letting us know! :)
Why oh why can’t every great 4x be on Steam :(
Niche games do not get a good sales bump from being on Steam. Matrix has experimented with other releases, and they found that for the most part, Steam purchases were by people who would buy the game either way, and Valve took a cut of the sale — so it just wasn’t worth it for them, especially since they already have infrastructure in place to handle long-term download support and an audience that (mostly) doesn’t demand Steam et al.
Loving legends so far! Territory is a fantastic addition. Characters add some flavor. New fleet stances are a welcome addition. Graphics are noticeably sharper.
Yes, I do like the Characters, it makes things interesting. Fleet stances are very cool as well and Territory. I also like the Overlays. I finally get to see where my automated ships are actually going, and am able to view lots of info from just looking at the map
Seems a little idiotic to make people pay for all three games if they want to play the one that is the best…….
I agree, at least have the interface changes available for the original version
I understand Return of the Shakturi, thats an expansion. But this seems more like a final product rather than an expansion.
I agree with that
