About Sid Meier's Civilization®: Beyond Earth™

Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth carries the award-winning strategy series into science fiction. Set in a future where global upheaval has destabilized the planet, it depicts the collapse of modern society, the rise of a new world order, and an uncertain future for humanity. As the surviving nations rebuild, they pour their resources into deep space travel, searching for a fresh start beyond Earth itself.

You lead an expedition tasked with founding a new civilization among the stars, writing the next chapter for humankind as you guide your people into an untamed frontier. That means exploring and colonizing an alien planet, researching new technologies, amassing powerful armies, building incredible Wonders, and shaping the character of your world. Every choice matters from the outset, from selecting your sponsor to determining the composition of your colony and the ultimate path your civilization will follow.

The journey begins by seeding your adventure: you establish a cultural identity by picking one of eight expedition sponsors, each with its own leader and distinct gameplay benefits, then assemble your spacecraft, cargo, and colonists through decisions that directly shape your starting conditions. From there you colonize an alien world rife with danger and opportunity. As a strategy game built for PC, Beyond Earth turns humanity's leap into space into a canvas of critical decisions.
