We’re far from finished with Galactic Civilizations III, but we are thrilled to start sharing what the team has been hard at work on. You’ll have to forgive us for being a little cryptic about gameplay specifics that are still in development yet, but we hope you find the trailer an acceptable peace offering.
The whole point of Galactic Civilizations III is to live up to what our fans are hoping for without screwing up the core gameplay that make the franchise one of the highest-rated strategy series in history. So we’re adding hexes, because they make better maps. We’re putting new stuff out on the map besides anomalies, because it adds depth to how you explore and colonize the galaxy. Diplomacy and non-violent paths to victory have always been key aspects of Galactic Civilizations, so we’re adding tons more cool stuff to diplomacy (both mechanically and on the AI side) and adding more ways to interact beyond pushing your influence bubble into enemy territory.
And, of course, Galactic Civilizations III has fully featured online multiplayer. Yes, we heard you on that one.
There’s a lot more to talk about in the coming months, but for now I invite you to enjoy the trailer, read up on the lore and the history of the franchise, and browse through the FAQ. Whether or not you join the Founder’s program, we hope you’ll come back for more as we continue to pull back the curtain on Galactic Civilizations III.

I just hope that the development of multiplayer doesn't detract from the single player experience.
Hey can you please let us preorder the game in steam. I have lots of funds on my steam wallet and i would love to use it to preorder this game!
This is fantastic news!! Seeing some old names pop up on the forums i haven't seen in a long time too! Be great to get the band back together!!!I'll have to dust off the 'ole Tyranny of Evil and get us all ready to pillage and plunder!!!
Great News ..... waited a loooong time for this. Signed up for the Founder Edition.
Arrgh!
I've got too much invested in a Kickstarter right now (Bones II). I'm going to have to wait until next month to become a founder.
Hope that option will still be available.
This is the best way ever to ruin a holiday. Can't wait to get home to get the founders pack . Think the kids would kill me if i call the holiday off now?
Now I just need to figure out how to get the Founder's Medal in my posts...
Question: Is this the project Jon Shafer was working on?
A gift card called a pre paid credit card or u could buy internet cash Albertsons has both of these in the gift card mall.
I can't wait for this!!! Wonder what to name my star though lol.
Alright, I'm in. Elite we go.
(Here's to hoping I'm only buying one game this time.)
Elite founder pack I hate being an early adopter and having to pay for content separately when later a "gold" edition comes out. Thanks for a new way of purchasing a game as an early adopter while not having to worry about future content!
Im in, elite edition, great news, thank's !
Words are futile here...
KING IS BACK!
Heh, I remember, how I laughed at the fools paying 90 bucks to Uber Entertainment for Planetary Annihilation. And now I will be paying 100 bucks to Stardock
Life is always surprising
Alright peeps, start uploading Avatars!!!!
Ok...that's a problem...my hours of sleep will be drastically reduced, that's for sure.
But i love this game...it's like Homer with Donuts
Hopefully the last one, so the focus of the game can be strategy, good shipdesign/fleet composition and an AI that is not easely exploited. Also most practical for MP-games too of course.
All those days checking galciv2.com finally paid off
Super excited and the trailer looks great! I'm looking forward to see how the story unfolds in game, and of course all the other goodies that come along with GalCiv!
I feel it's Christmas already!!
very nice
How very convenient that today is payday. Well, I know where $100 is going to go "missing".
Great news, excited to see what comes our way. Multiplayer and a game engine that actually takes advantage of the power within today's machines. So nice. So very very nice.
Bring it on
Is it bad that I'm considering buying the Founder's Elite instead of eating lunch for the next two week?
decisions decisions
/soexcited
I can't see it anywhere on here - roughly when do you expect to release the game?
Thanks!
Finally, a successor to the MoO and GC. Impatient to see the result.Thank to you and do a good job.
