About Pax Nova

Pax Nova poster

Pax Nova opens on a humanity that has failed itself through pollution and war. After a century of political tension and endless armed conflict, Earth teeters on the edge of becoming uninhabitable, and only a signal from deep space offers a way out: the chance to abandon a dying planet and start over by migrating to the world of Eos. This exodus marks the dawn of the era the game takes its name from, though whether it will be enough to save humankind remains an open question.

As a science-fiction turn-based 4X strategy game, Pax Nova puts the fate of your people in your hands. You choose one of several factions divided among three races and establish yourself on Eos, then set out to explore new worlds and star systems brimming with exciting secrets and terrible dangers alike. There is always something new waiting just beyond the frontier.

How you rise is up to you. You can build great cities and expand your influence through efficient diplomacy, or, when negotiations break down or you simply prefer conquest, prepare for battle on land and in space. As an indie strategy title on PC, it hands you the tools to explore, expand and dominate, letting you decide whether humanity's second chance is won through statecraft or war.
