Age of Wonders – Planetfall : screenshots et trailer

Surprise ! Triumph studios n’avait pas caché être en train de travailler sur un quatrième volet de sa série Age of Wonders, d’autant plus depuis son acquisition par Paradox l’été dernier, mais plutôt que de poursuivre dans le domaine de l’heroic-fantasy, le studio a opté pour un tournant radical en partant vers la science-fiction pure.

Au menu, toujours des combats très tactiques en tour par tour, des décors destructibles, un monde en ruines entièrement à découvrir (où le joueur débarquera donc suite à la chute d’un précédent empire), la possibilité de construire un empire à l’échelle planétaire, ou encore de multiples conditions de victoire. Voilà qui est intrigant et pourrait s’avérer intéressant.

Triumph Studios and Paradox Interactive Announce Age of Wonders: Planetfall
Sci-fi incarnation of turn-based classic has players reach for new frontiers

STOCKHOLM – MAY 19, 2018 – Paradox Interactive today announced Age of Wonders: Planetfall, a new upcoming strategy game from Triumph Studios, creators of the critically acclaimed Age of Wonders and Overlord series. Slated for release for PC and console in 2019, Planetfall will bring all the exciting turn-based empire building and immersive tactical combat of its predecessors to an all-new sci-fi setting.

In Age of Wonders: Planetfall, players will emerge from the dark age of a fallen galactic empire to craft a new future for their people. Exploring the planetary ruins and encountering other surviving factions that have each evolved in their own way, players will unravel the history of a shattered civilization. Fight, build, negotiate and technologically advance the way to utopia, in a deep single player campaign, on random maps and against friends in multiplayer.

“We’re thrilled to finally announce our latest endeavor alongside Paradox,” said Lennart Sas, Triumph Studios CEO. “Age of Wonders: Planetfall is roughly three years into development, running on a new generation of our multi-platform Creator Engine. While the setting is new, we’re confident that Age of Wonders fans will feel right at home exploring the remnants of the Star Union. Our aim is to make a game that greatly expands upon its predecessors, and still employs the core principles that made Age of Wonders such a success.”

Key Features:

– Strategic Turn-Based Sci-Fi Combat – Perfect your combat strategy in intense turn-based battles that offer tactical challenges, a large cast of races, units with customizable weapons, and destructible environments.
– Discover a Rich Science Fiction World – Uncover the history of the fallen galactic empire as you explore lush landscapes, and experience the emergent story. Encounter NPC factions and rival houses, and discover hidden technologies that can strengthen your society and give you advantage over enemies.
– Planetary Empire Building – Create your own unique House, and build prosperous colonies through economic specializations of planetary sectors and governing doctrines.
– Multiple Paths to Victory – Achieve your end goals through conquest, diplomacy or doomsday technologies. Engrossing options with NPC factions and rival Houses won’t make the decisions easy!
