The lights are on
Civilization: Beyond Earth is available for pre-order today on Steam and other digital distributors, with two different options to get in the game. If you don’t yet own the more recent Civilization titles, there’s a bundle that might catch your eye.

If you already worship at the altar of “One More Turn,” then you can pre-order the game for $49.99. Either way, you’ll get a pack of six additional maps based on real exoplanets. They are:
According to 2K, those that purchase the bundle will get access to the rest of the content immediately. For more on Civilization: Beyond Earth, check out our previews from E3 and Gamescom. The game will arrive on October 24 for PC.
Our TakeAs a Civ fan, the idea of playing on worlds inspired by real planets somewhere out in the universe thrills me. Even if these are the equivalent of artist renderings, it’s a nifty idea to connect the title to reality (even if dangerous space worms don’t inhabit those planets).
I think I'll get that bundle - I haven't played a Civ game in seemingly forever.
I want to play this, but I will have to wait for it to go on sale before I buy it. I don't know if it will even run on my laptop - it doesn't quite meet the minimum specs. I wish everything wasn't so expensive. =(
Love the idea of this. Content to wait, however.
If they do a complete addition I will grab that.
Half ice, half dessert with a belt of habitable space in the middle? Mu Arae f sounds like and awesome map to play at.
