The team behind XCOM’s much-loved Long War mod announced today that they have delayed the launch of their own alien invasion strategy game, Terra Invicta. It’s now due in spring 2022. Pavonis Interactive said the usual reason: they wanted more time to get it working. Please do! After the Long War, I’d definitely like to see them smash it with an ambitious game that spans the entire solar system. For now, a new trailer shows off some of their recent work, including 3D space fleet battles and massive alien marches destroying cities.
Terra Invicta is an epic strategy game about seven human factions vying for power as aliens invade our Solar System. Each has their own plans, which includes a desire to join the aliens, or worship them, or fight them, or profit from them, or just build a spaceship. giant and straight out of the Solar System. It’s also massive, spanning our entire system, complete with fleets of spaceships engaged in 3D battles. Sounds great.
Today’s announcement says the delay from late 2021 is “to ensure full time for late-game balance and AI enhancement.” Do not worry. The important things, these.
Creative director John Lumpkin said: “Developing Terra Invicta over the past four years has been an incredible journey. “All major features are available and the game is being worked on prior to launch, but we decided that delay was important to ensure the release completely lived up to the expectations of the users. play.”
Pavonis started Terra Invicta after the Long War, though along the way they make an official XCOM 2 mod by order of Firaxis, including The Long War 2. Last year, they turned to Kickstarter to help fund Terra Invicta, and achieve their goal in six hours.
Terra Invicta will be released on Steam and GOG in the spring of 2022. It is published by Hooded Horses.
