Developer Stelleas announces Stellar Reach, a 4X strategy game set in space, where no one can hear you comment on its Civilization influences. A Teaser Trailer takes a first look, and you can track development through the Steam Listing, which shows a September 25th. Word is this is set after humanity has transformed into the Borg:
Some time in our future, humans and their machine work force have reached a distant stellar neighbourhood and multiple factions are competing for dominance. Explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate across the nearby stars in a real-scale, fully-3D environment to overcome your rivals, mastering military power, prosperous governance, booming industry, wealth, resources, and their separate technology trees. Choose your faction and your path to victory, but travel it alone; you’ll find no friends in the hostile and dangerous depths of space.
