2K have released the intro cinematic for Civilization: Beyond Earth.

The cinematic is a pre-rendered affair, showing exactly who boarded the rockets off Earth, how they were chosen, and how they got to their new home. Which is a very long way of saying “It probably won’t tell you anything relevant about the game, but it’s quite the scene-setter.” So no, it doesn’t have much to say about hexes or interstellar diplomacy, but it’s pretty and well-made.

Civilization: Beyond Earth is the latest title in the long-running turn-based empire-building strategy series, and – as the name implies – this one takes things away from Earth, to a distant planet. Expect sci-fi technologies, encounters with alien fauna, and a lot of decisions to determine the future of humanity.

Civilization: Beyond Earth is due out next week, on 24 October.

Tim has been playing PC games for longer than he's willing to admit. He's written for a number of publications, but has been with PC Invasion - in all its various incarnations - for over a decade. When not writing about games, Tim can occasionally be found speedrunning terrible ones, making people angry in Dota 2, or playing something obscure and random. He's also weirdly proud of his status as (probably) the Isle of Man's only professional games journalist.
