“It’s been amazing to see how hyped fans are for the release of Sins of a Solar Empire II on Steam,” said Brian Clair, Director of Publishing at Stardock Entertainment. “We have seen so many people who were fans of the original Sins, and Sins: Rebellion, sharing their excitement for this long-awaited sequel. Sins of a Solar Empire II will deliver epic galactic warfare and strategy to players. We can’t wait to share more with you and celebrate the launch of Sins of a Solar Empire II on August 15!”

Sins II will give players more tools than ever to form their own play styles as they battle, scheme, monopolize, and manipulate their way to victory. The sequel also introduces new emergent tactics and strategies that reward creative thinking. Players can protect vulnerable units by body-blocking missiles with their Titan, launch a surprise attack from a rogue asteroid when its orbit reaches the enemy's back line, or guard themselves against a backstab with a time-locked alliance.

Sins of a Solar Empire II Key Features:

  • Three unique 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 their strategies as new challenges and opportunities present themselves
  • Enhanced tactical battles and deeper combat simulation featuring tracking turrets and missiles that can be blocked by ships or shot down
  • Minor factions that provide unique capabilities to players that befriend them through a new influence system
  • New economy model that allows players to truly customize their worlds to fit production needs
  • 10-player multiplayer matches that allow players to seamlessly join or resume games
  • Build and command thousands of high fidelity ships that are effortlessly powered by a new 64-bit multicore engine
  • Capital ships that can be equipped with special augmentations to be more effective in battle
  • New in-game mod browser allows for easy installation for mods and maps

Sins of a Solar Empire II is available to wishlist now. At launch, the base game edition will be offered at a special discount price of $39.99 for a limited time. Additionally, the Sins of a Solar Empire II - Premium Edition will be available for a limited-time price of $79.99 and will include the base game, first Content Pass and the Sins of a Solar Empire II soundtrack.
