Triumph Studios, creators of the
Age of Wonders and
Overlord series are officially working on the next chapter of their critically acclaimed franchise.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall brings all the exciting tactical-turn based combat and in-depth 4X empire building of its predecessors to space in a new sci-fi setting, giving you a chance to achieve your goals through conquest, diplomacy or doomsday technologies.
"
We’re thrilled to finally announce our latest endeavor alongside Paradox,” said Triumph CEO Lennart Sas at PDXCON 2018 (which basically is a celebration of Paradox Interactive's game universes such as
Cities: Skylines, Europa Universalis, and
Steel Division). "
Age of Wonders: Planetfall is roughly three years into development, running on a new generation of our multi-platform Creator Engine.
"
While the setting is new, we’re confident that Age of Wonders fans will feel right at home exploring the remnants of the Star Union. Our aim is to make a game that greatly expands upon its predecessors, and still employs the core principles that made Age of Wonders such a success," Sas concluded. Naturally, the game will offer a single-player campaign and an extensive multiplayer mode.
The announcement trailer features snippets of the real gameplay and
Planetfall looks impressive. The game seemingly embraces the "
dark age of a fallen galactic empire" promise with some futuristic designs and hostile alien creatures. What's even better, you will have an opportunity to fight these monsters using your completely customized units! Be sure to check out the first trailer down below:
Emerge from the cosmic dark age of a fallen galactic empire to craft a new future for your people. Explore the planetary ruins and encounter other surviving factions that have each evolved in their own way, as you unravel the history of a shattered civilization. Fight, build, negotiate and technologically advance your way to utopia, in a deep single player campaign, on random maps and against friends in multiplayer.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall will be released on PC and unspecified "consoles" in 2019.
