Galactic Civilizations III First Gameplay Trailer Revealed

In case you’ve been hankering for some 4X (Explore, Expand, Exploit and Exterminate) style gameplay since the olden days of Master of Orion, you’re in luck. Stardock has been busy developing Galactic Civilizations III for the PC and has released the first gameplay video of the same. Check it out above.

You’ll get a look at the new user interface along with the usual hex-based movement and fleet warfare. The game still has no release date but is currently in the Alpha stage. Those who wish to access the game can pre-order the Founder’s Edition here. Others can just wait for the game to hit the PC via Steam.
