Imagine Earth is a futuristic world simulation in which it is your job as a colony manager is to explore and populate various undiscovered planets.

Imagine Earth is a real-time planet simulation and a build up strategy game. Your job as a space colony manager is to explore and populate distant planets. Build up thriving and profitable colonies on a global scale and trade resources and goods into space.

You will experience a massive conflict between the profit goals of the interstellar corporations and the need to preserve living conditions for your people. Exhaust emissions and ground pollution impact the global climate as your colony is growing. Increasing temperatures melt down polar caps and your colonies are destroyed by rising sea levels.

Raise great cities and satisfy their appetite for resources by building power plants, farms and factories. Dig for ideon crystals, pacify riots, research technologies and constructs and maximize your growth while maintaining a healthy ecosystem.

Get ready to deal with threats like asteroid strikes, twisters, wild fires, volcanoes and rising sea levels. Fend off space raiders and alien investors. Coexist and trade with natives, merchants and hostile colonies.

In 2048 huge corporations have divided Earth among themselves and exploited its natural resources to a large extent. Now the discovery of ideon crystals allows journeys into space, while technologically and ideologically almost everything remains the same. The laws of the market are being spread into the universe.

On each discovered planet a competition for economic dominance breaks out. To expand your colony as fast as possible and overcome your opponents you exploit the freely available fossil resources and minerals. Additional money is provided by selling shares of your colony. Take over opposing companies by buying up their shares.

Merchants and technology traders organize the interplanetary trade and will happily buy all minerals and resources you extract from your territory while selling expensive technologies. The same goes for cooperating colonies and alien tribes that live on some of the planets.

Developer Serious Bros. will feature Imagine Earth - Planetary Colonization at EGX 2021.

Additionally, the studio will show their new gameplay mode Daily Missions, new Open Space DLC, and announce the launch date for PS4 and PS5.

After spending over 7 years in Steam Early Access, receiving additions such as diplomacy, a story campaign and overhauled AI, the game was launched on PC and Xbox One and Series X|S earlier this year.

Serious Bros. aims to release a new gameplay mode - Daily Missions where players get a procedurally generated planet to conquer and colonize every day, and it comes with a league in which the best Planet Managers can compete weekly, monthly and annually!

The studio will also take the opportunity of EGX to announce the official launch date of the PlayStation 4 & 5 versions of the game, as well as the Open Space DLC. 

Key Features:

  • Carbon footprint: Earth has been destroyed by an ecological collapse - will your new home go the same way? Keep your worldwide emissions to a minimum, or else suffer rising sea levels, freak weather events, and more.
  • Boldly Go: Imagine Earth is a real-time planet simulation and a build-up strategy game. Your job as a space colony manager is to explore distant planets, build up profitable colonies, and trade resources into space.
  • Many ways to play: A multi-planet story campaign, ‘competition’ mode with five enemy factions, ‘endless’ mode with endless procedurally generated challenges, and a Planet Editor with custom building and terraforming.
  • Hold the line: Use tower defence mechanics to protect your colony from invading aliens, marauding space pirates, and swarms of locusts.
  • Hostile takeover: Form alliances with other colonies and intergalactic traders, trade shares or wage crafty economic warfare to secure total financial dominance for your planet. 

Imagine Earth is available for PC (Steam), Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, coming to PS4 and PS5 later on.
