Games Operators have announced Solar Expanse, a space colonization sim by Jutsu Games.
The game is set in the near future, where competing private corporations spearhead the latest space race. Conquer the stars over the next several centuries as you send out expeditions, research and development new technologies. Terraform planets and moons so they are suitable for human colonies.
You can find the announcement trailer below.
You can find a rundown of the game (via Steam) below:
LEAD THE SPACE EXPANSION
In Solar Expanse, you take the lead of one of the early XXI century space exploration companies. Your goal will be to reach the planets, moons and asteroids of the system in order to mine and colonize them.
PLAN ROCKET FLIGHTS
Optimize the costs and schedule of the flights. Mind that each object is in constant motion, so exact planning is crucial. Utilize the gravity effects and slingshots your rockets further beyond.
EXPLORE AND RESEARCH
There are hundreds of thousands of objects in the Asteroid belt alone. Some are made of water, others might contain precious metals. Deploy various telescopes, arrays and probes to know the system better and plan your next flights. Scan for the most profitable and useful materials. Research new technologies
MINE & DROP ASTEROIDS
Send your rockets and deliver the asteroids to Earth or colonies. Gain the profits to expand your corporation and start the projects on much larger scale.
Or just drop the asteroids on the planets and moons, either to terraform or ruin your competition plans…
BUILD AND COLONIZE
In time, you will get contracts to establish permanent bases on various objects. Build fuel stations, launch sites, space catapults, elevators and entire cities!
TERRAFORM
Your ultimate goal will be to make the moons and planets of the solar system habitable. This task will take centuries, enormous resources, technologies and thousands of rocket flights. Move the water asteroids from the asteroid belt to Mars. Mine Io and Titan for necessary resources.
CONQUER SOLAR SYSTEMS
Once you are done with the Solar system, go beyond with your colony ships to millions of real and generated systems. Alpha & Proxima, Centauri, Trappist, Gliese & Kepler systems… you name them!
Solar Expanse is coming soon to Windows PC, and Mac (both via Steam).
