It was announced by WG Labs and NGD Studios, the release of Master of Orion. The innovative reimagining of one of the most beloved PC strategy titles of all time takes off today at 6pm BST. The originator of classic 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXterminate, eXploit) gameplay, Master of Orion introduced gamers to an experience where choice was the key to success…or failure. Diplomacy, exploration and combat across a vast galaxy of unique races and worlds ensured that every playthrough was unique, providing seemingly endless replay value.
