Sid Meier's Next Strategy Game Gives Us Control Of Starships This Spring
2K and Firaxis have announced the next title from famed developer Sid Meier. His next strategy title, Starships, will take us to space to build a federation of planets and civilizations.
According to GameSpot, Meier sees this as the next step following Civilization: Beyond Earth. Humanity has experienced a diaspora, losing contact with some of its far flung bretheren.
The title is said to feature randomized maps, a mission structure, and of course, turn-based combat. The title is planned for PC, Mac, and iOS this spring.

Our Take
Firaxis is one of the most consistent developers out there, and I've greatly enjoyed most of what I've played from the studio. This gives me a Star Trek vibe, and that's just fine by me.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
