Popular Space Strategy Game, Galactic Civilizations IV v3.0 Hyperlane Update Announced, Franchise Sale on Steam
The Turn-based space strategy game sees a revamp of galaxy generation, fleet management, computer AI, and much more PLYMOUTH, Mich., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Popular space strategy game, Galactic Civilizations IV is receiving a major overhaul of core game mechanics, map generation and computer opponents in Galactic Civilizations IV v3.0 Hyperlane Update which releases on June 12, 2025, free for all players. To celebrate the announcement, Stardock has put the entire franchise on sale this week as well as provided updates to the previous editions in the series. For Galactic Civilizations IV v3.0 Hyperlane Update, players can look forward to: Hyperlanes. One of the defining features of the game is the free-form movement of ships on the map. Galactic Civilizations IV keeps the freeform movement but also now generates maps where groups of stars are connected by hyperlanes that drastically increase unit speed between stars. "The Galactic Civilizations games have always stood out because players can take their fleets and move them freely on the map. However, players have requested having map generation where groups of stars are very distant from each other within a given sector," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Entertainment. "The challenge there is that players also don't want to spend dozens of turns moving through the void of deep space, Hyperlanes let us have it both ways." Fleet Supply. To decrease micromanagement as well as make starship quality more distinct, the game now adds the concept of a civilization-wide fleet supply limit which can be increased by technology, events and other mechanics. "The goal here is to make the path to victory not be dependent on who can put together the largest blob of units. While mass fleet sizes are still possible, players have to earn that by making that part of their strategy as opposed to it being the default and only path," said Wardell. User Experience Revamp. While not a specific feature, Version 3.0 includes hundreds of small updates and improvements across the board. From new, higher resolution textures for ships to balance improvements to the new Civilization data screens which let players get insights into their civilizations. "Over the past year we've received thousands of requests and suggestions from the fanbase. The Hyperlane Update was our opportunity to integrate as many of these as we could into a single huge update," said Wardell. The Hyperlane Update is now available as a Preview build on Steam with the final release scheduled for early June. In addition, starting today, the entire franchise is on sale on Steam.
