About the game

Lead a nation through an alternate-history space race. Build cities and industry, expand across worlds, manage trade and diplomacy, command armies and fleets, and compete for control of a living Solar System in single-player or multiplayer.

Original Steam description

Nations Beyond Earth is a grand strategy and strategy-simulation game set in an alternate 20th-century space race where Earth's rival powers do not stop at the edge of the atmosphere.

JOIN THE NATIONS BEYOND EARTH STEAM PLAYTEST

The free Steam Playtest is now live!

Help shape Nations Beyond Earth by testing gameplay, exploring different nations and strategies, and sharing feedback on game balance, AI, multiplayer, performance, and overall gameplay.

Wishlist Nations Beyond Earth on Steam and request access to the free Playtest!

Playtest access is being distributed as testing progresses, with additional players invited throughout development.

Choose a nation, build its economy, develop cities and infrastructure, and turn terrestrial industry into a space program capable of reaching the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Every faction approaches the Solar System differently, with its own leadership, strategic strengths, doctrines, ambitions, and political relationships.

Build power, food production, industry, launch infrastructure, military facilities, cities, orbital stations, and the logistical network needed to support an expanding civilization. Resources must be produced, stored, transported, traded, and protected. A growing population can become the foundation of a great power, or a liability if its economy cannot keep pace.

The Solar System is not an empty board. Competing nations establish colonies, develop orbital infrastructure, contest strategic territory, form alliances, impose embargoes, negotiate trade, conduct espionage, and pursue their own ambitions.

When diplomacy fails, conflict can extend from the surface of Earth to deep space. Organize armies, air forces, navies, and spacecraft into forces built for the mission. Defend orbital infrastructure, intercept enemy fleets, support planetary campaigns, and decide how far escalation should go in a world where strategic weapons remain very real.

Nations Beyond Earth can be played against AI-controlled powers or in multiplayer, with configurable scenarios and game settings allowing each campaign to develop differently. Data-driven mod support lets players expand and reshape parts of the game beyond the built-in factions and scenarios.

CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AFTER RELEASE

The official release of Nations Beyond Earth will mark another milestone in its development, not the end of it.

Venom Pandemic Studios plans to continue actively developing and improving Nations Beyond Earth after launch, with ongoing updates focused on gameplay refinement, AI improvements, performance optimization, balancing, and expanding the overall experience.

Player feedback will remain an important part of development, helping identify areas for improvement and guide future updates. Additional content, features, and improvements will be considered as the game continues to evolve.

Our goal is to build a grand strategy experience that continues to grow and improve beyond its initial release.

The future is no longer about reaching space first.

It is about deciding who controls what comes after.
