Galactic Civilizations III’s next expansion is a Crusade

It’s time to join an intergalactic damn fool idealistic crusade.

Stardock today announced Crusade, its second expansion for the 4X turn-based strategy game (the 4X means explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate) set among the stars. It comes out this spring. Galactic Civilizations is a long-lived franchise from the studio, and the third installment launched in 2015, and GamesBeat gave it a 87/100, highlighting its campaign and more sandboxy elements, such as tools to create your ships. It’s also among a wave of strong strategy games releases from the last several years (and especially 2016) from dev houses like Amplitude Studios and Mohawk’s Offworld Trading Company, another Stardock release.
