Lord of Rigel - Early Access OUT NOW!

Hey everyone!

At long last we’re releasing Lord of Rigel to Early Access. In 2018 we launched First Access for players. In the time since, we redeveloped the project in Unreal Engine. It's been quite the journey, and we're so excited to have reached this milestone.



Here's what you can expect from this first phase of Early Access:


  • Tutorial scenario to learn the game. Explore the Altair sector and establish first contact with an alien species.
  • Main game with galaxy generation up to huge galaxies (256 stars) with eight factions.
  • Test out ship designs and technologies with a fully unlocked skirmish mode.
  • Military Victory condition, conquer your foes or build a lasting peace through diplomatic treaties.
  • Play one of eight species as the hive minded Aranids, diplomatic Humans, the warrior Katraxi, industrious Ornithon, Selach traders, the expansionistic Tharrn, mysterious Xantus, or telepathic Yalkai.
  • Face space monsters and random events as you explore the galaxy.






You can pick up Lord of Rigel now at $19.99/€ 19.99/£17.99 with a 10% launch discount during launch week!

The next phase of our early access roadmap includes more playable species, larger galaxy sizes, elder species (the Riglelans and Arcturans), and diplomatic victories through the galactic council. More on that at a later date!



Lord of Rigel DEMO Out Now + Early Access Release Date!

Hello everyone!

We’re pleased to announce the release of the Lord of Rigel demo. This is the culmination of two and a half years of redevelopment. If you're curious how that redevelopment process went, you can check out our previous blog here!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/437440/Lord_of_Rigel/

Early Access Release Date


That's not the only news, though. We're also very excited to announce that Lord of Rigel is going into Early Access on October 4th! It's a huge milestone for us, and we can't wait to share our work with you. Check out our trailer, and get hyped!



The Demo


Of course, October 4th is still a short ways away. Thankfully, you can get a first taste of Lord of Rigel in the demo.



The Lord of Rigel demo includes:

  • Tutorial scenario to learn the game. Explore the Altair sector and establish first contact with an alien species.
  • Main campaign with a pregenerated galaxy. Play as the diplomatic Humans, warring Katraxi, Selach traders, or the industrialist Ornithon.
  • Skirmish mode with early game technologies and four species to select from. Build custom ships and test them in battle.
  • Military Victory condition, conquer your foes or build a lasting peace through diplomatic treaties.


The demo has a 150 turn limit to give a taste of the full game but is otherwise not restricted in your options.



As Lord of Rigel enters Early Access we’ll continue to update the demo with the main game. We hope you're as excited as we are for the EA release on October 4th!
