WG Labs announces details about a Collector's Edition of
Master of Orion, their
upcoming 4X strategy expansion. This will include all three of the original
games in the series, Early Access, an exclusive race, and more. They have all
the details on
the game's
official website where they are already accepting preorders. Here's the
whole plan:
WG Labs today revealed details about the Master of Orion
Collector’s Edition. This special digital bundle for the reboot of the
critically acclaimed sci-fi strategy game will include the first three legendary
Master of Orion titles, a beautifully detailed digital art book, modernized
orchestral soundtrack, special retro art style graphic motif, and an exclusive
new race only available in the Collector’s Edition: the Terran Khanate. Players
will also be granted Early Access—when available—so they can begin their quest
for galactic supremacy ahead of other explorers.
The Master of Orion series set the bar for the iconic 4X (eXplore, eXpand,
eXploit, and eXterminate) strategy genre, and is the foundation for WG Labs’
reimagining of the legend. With the Master of Orion Collector’s Edition, players
will have the chance to relive the classic version of the game. To complement
the inclusion of Master of Orion 1, 2 and 3, a digital art book is also
available, showcasing the game’s deep and intricate artwork. A digital version
of the entire modernized orchestral soundtrack by Dave Govett, composer for the
original Master of Orion, is also included to make this Collector’s Edition
truly epic.
A special retro art style can be applied to replace the modern 3D spaceships
with pixelated craft, reflecting the style of the original 1990s version.
Finally, a unique race, exclusively for Collector’s Edition owners is available.
Named the Terran Khanate, this race is an aggressive and threatening model of a
future humanity that mirrors the Human Federation but with a warlike bent,
giving players a new way to conquer the stars.
