Firaxis Games Announce "Civilization: Beyond Earth"
Sat, April 12, 2014 
Firaxis Games is releasing Civilization: Beyond Earth this fall. Now, you're probably thinking it, but no, this is NOT an expansion pack for Sid Meier's Civilization V. It's a fully-fledged standalone game set "Beyond Earth" where players can encounter new civilizations and planets. Additionally, the game will scrap the "tech-tree" in favor of a "tech-web" which starts with simple ideas and branches out into much more broader, and crazier things. The developers promise that by endgame, each faction will be severely different from another. Beyond Earth will keep the traditional hex-sized tiles and still restrict one unit-per-tile combat, but allow satellite and orbital strikes to help buff the player. You can read all about Beyond Earth at IGN with quotes from Firaxis Games.
