Release the kraken! Civilization: Beyond Earth takes to the seas

Firaxis Games developers said they wanted to make the ideas for the new expansion pack for Civilization: Beyond Earth all wet.

Civilization: Beyond Earth – Rising Tide will debut for Windows PCs this fall for $30. Published by 2K Games, the expansion to the space strategy game will feature new units and settlements for the watery landscape (and new graphics for how that water is displayed); a new diplomacy system; four new factions; hybrid affinities with their own units; an artifact system that gives players’ civilizations new powers; and two new biomes/landscape types.
