'The Pegasus Expedition' Leaving Early Access, Release Date Set For Later This Month - Trailer

by Rainier on June 1, 2023 @ 12:30 p.m. PDT

The Pegasus Expedition is a story-driven sci-fi grand strategy game set in a key moment for humankind's survival.

Facing an overwhelming threat at home, humanity sends an expedition to the Pegasus Galaxy in a desperate attempt to find a refuge for the population of Earth, only to find themselves in the middle of an interstellar war they inadvertently started.

As you lead one of these fleets, your mission soon transitions from exploration to governance, conquest, and eventually a fight for survival. Players will experience a challenging story where nothing is self-evident and every decision will have its consequences.

Building on the legacy of the grand strategy genre, The Pegasus Expedition adds a strong narrative side to the classic 4X-gameplay which involves managing your diplomatic ties, armies, economy and scientific development.

The Pegasus Expedition is now available as an Early Access Title via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store.

Fulqrum Publishing and Kalla Gameworks announce that The Pegasus Expedition will leave Early Access for a full release on PC via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store on June 20, 2023, complete with a brand new scenario and gameplay improvements.

It will remain priced at 19,99 € / £16.99, but will be available with a 15% discount at launch.

The new scenario, entitled The Purge, introduces a dark twist to the 4X title, giving players the opportunity to take control of the alien Biomass faction - a deadly bio weapon engineered by an incredibly advanced alien race - in a bid to purge the galaxy of all life. The Purge is the fifth alternate scenario added to the game, further complementing the expansive and rewarding main campaign.

At launch, the game will also see further improvements to the AI and diplomacy systems, in addition to general polish and bug fixes, building upon the regular content updates that were issued during the successful eight-month Early Access period. These included four new varied scenarios, further bolstering the game's substantial initial content offering, each of which added fresh ways to explore the galaxy, alongside a whole host of new features, polish and quality of life changes.

"We are excited and at the same time anxious to be releasing the full game soon. The Pegasus Expedition has been the first project for our small team at Kalla Gameworks and in many ways, we've grown along with the game.” said Jaakko Vesterinen, Narrative Director, Kalla Gameworks. “We would like to thank everyone for all their suggestions, constructive criticism and general encouragement, and we hope you come visit the Pegasus Galaxy with us!"
