Firaxis released its #latesttrailer for Civilization: Beyond Earth after its panel at PAX Prime this weekend. Over six minutes of #gameplay, it shows how a colony functions once it has reached full strength, about 100 years into the game’s timeline.
That includes features like the “Purity Affinity,” which basically means the human colony terraforms the environment to accomodate it, rather than adapting human biology to the environment through cybernetics, gene modification or other transfusions. There’s also a demonstration of combat (against a freakin’ Kraken), diplomacy, and the game’s orbital layer.
Civilization: Beyond Earth will launch on Oct. 24 for Linux, Mac OS and Windows PC.
