In the original Ashes Of The Singularity, players experienced revolutionary gameplay powered by the first-ever multi-core graphics engine capable of handling thousands of units simultaneously across maps the size of entire continents. The game's forward-thinking story envisioned a future dominated by sophisticated AI managing drone constructs to battle post-human factions for control over the solar system.

A decade later, the battle grows, with the humans of Earth having a say in their own destiny. In Ashes of the Singularity II, players command the United Earth Forces, a powerful human alliance forged between NATO, China, and Russia, determined to reclaim Earth’s territories—including Australia and Africa—as well as vital outposts on planets and moons across the solar system, all previously overtaken by relentless AI and formidable Post-Humans.

With a significantly expanded development team, Ashes of the Singularity II introduces an arsenal of advanced units and sophisticated gameplay mechanics. Players will experience greater strategic depth, intricate base-building dynamics, and intense skirmishes against intelligent computer opponents. A gripping story-driven campaign set in a chillingly familiar near-future landscape of 2031 ensures a captivating experience. Fans can also look forward to robust cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.

While the gameplay and the production values have greatly improved since the original, the most obvious change in the sequel is the third faction: The humans.

Ashes Of The Singularity II invites players to engage in strategic battles of unprecedented scale, depth, and intensity, promising to elevate the RTS genre once again.

The war for the soul of the solar system is nigh as Stardock announced that Ashes of the Singularity II will release November 10, 2026.

"We're grateful to every player who jumped in during Next Fest and our playtests. Ashes of the Singularity II is a better game because of them," said Adrian Wright, Vice President of Entertainment at Stardock. "On November 10, the fight to save humanity begins in massive-scale RTS battles we’re eager for players to experience."

Since the Steam Next Fest demo and September's public multiplayer playtest, the development team has continued to improve gameplay, balance, performance, and multiplayer stability based on player feedback.

The standard edition will be available at launch for $39.99; with a premium edition that includes the game, first three DLC packs and soundtrack for $69.99. Both editions will carry a special 20% launch discount from Nov. 10-17 and be available on Steam, directly through Stardock, or via other partners.
