“From multiple races to emergent tactics to a detailed galaxy simulation system, we’re giving our community multiple ways to conquer the galaxy in Sins of a Solar Empire II,” said Brian Clair, director of publishing, Stardock Entertainment. “With today’s launch on Steam, we’re looking forward to supporting our fans with even more great DLC content and the release of our Mod Tools and Mod Browser to see what our community does with this next evolution in the Sins franchise.”

Sins of a Solar Empire II features gameplay enhancements that let players take full control of how they conquer the galaxy. Emergent tactics like protecting vulnerable units from missile strikes with Titan ships, or launching surprise ambushes using the dynamically changing orbits of planets are now possible. Sins of a Solar Empire II will reward players for creative thinking, effective use of economic systems, and making convenient allies as they take over the galaxy.

Key Features:

  • Three playable races including the Advent, Vasari, and TEC return with two sub-factions that utilize unique items, mechanics, and Empire Systems to achieve total victory
  • Orbiting planets that dynamically alter the map during play, requiring players to gradually shift strategies as new challenges and opportunities emerge
  • Minor factions that provide unique capabilities to players that befriend them through a new influence system
  • Enhanced tactical battles and deeper combat simulation including missiles that can be shot down
  • New economy model that allows players to truly customize their worlds to fit production needs
  • Ten-player multiplayer matches that allow players to seamlessly join or resume games
  • Build and command thousands of high-fidelity units in a new engine built from the ground-up for Sins of a Solar Empire II
  • Capital ships that can be equipped with special augmentations to be more effective in battle
