We're only a few days away from Early Access, so we've put together a quick trailer to show off some of the gameplay you'll see once it's live on the 26th. Included in the trailer is the galaxy map, a closer look at star systems, the tech tree, a view of one of your potential colonies, and tactical battles.

The combat sequence you see is all in-engine and part of tactical battles using the cinematic camera option; this is not pre-rendered.
Now that you've taken a look at the video, here are the key features you can expect on the 26th:
- Six races: Alkari, Bulrathi, Human, Mrrshan, Psilon and Sakkra
- Three victory conditions: Conquest, Diplomatic and Excellence
- Tactical Battles
- Multiplayer
- Ship Design
- English and Russian language support for text and VO
- 64-bit Windows support
In addition to the key features, the core gameplay is implemented, which will allow for a full playthrough of the game.
We will unlock additional races, victory conditions, features, language support and operating systems as we progress through Early Access.
This is just the beginning, but we can't wait to open the doors on this edition to the Master of Orion franchise. We're incredibly excited to hear your impressions, and will be following your feedback closely. Expect constant interaction here on Steam, as well as almost anywhere else you're discussing the game. If we can post there, there's a good chance we will.
