A glorious destiny awaits - the domination of not just the Earth, but the whole Solar system!
To achieve this ultimate goal, you will have to carefully consider a myriad of decisions, starting with the choice of a country you wish to lead. Taking control of any contemporary nation in order to fulfil your ambitions: from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and everything in between.
You will also need to select your optimal form of government, build your cabinet of ministers, improve your character’s skills - all while leading your country’s efforts in economic development, research, diplomacy, espionage or war. Will you lead your people to the stars, or to their ultimate doom?
From its launch into Early Access, Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond will feature three game modes (Realism, Overdrive and Sandbox), which can be played on Earth, and slowly expanding out into the solar system - with the option to lead any country existing in 2010, the starting year of the campaign.
Realism ties the player to a world which runs very similarly to our own, with pacts dividing the world between several blocs such as NATO and the EU. Meanwhile, Overdrive offers a freedom of experience with all stats dialled up to 11, allowing the player to engage in an all-out brawl between the strongest nations. Finally, Sandbox allows the player to build up from the start and make their nation a success under their rule - but be warned, it’s a long and hard journey to the top!
...
A number of features and mechanics are already planned to be added during the Early Access period - with the final 1.0 launch expected to be released in early 2025. These include the possibility to use weapons of mass destruction, implement martial law, the influence of pollution on the environment, different winning objectives for campaigns and much more - even overall different campaign scenarios and recreating historical countries. The developers are also planning to add more textual localizations to the game at full launch, including French, German, Spanish, Polish, Simplified Chinese and Russian. Of course, due to the nature of Early Access, these plans can change based on community feedback.
We hope to see you all on the world stage soon - on Earth, in space, and beyond!
Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond is available to wishlist right now - and will be launching into Early Access on October 22, 2024 on PC via GOG."
