Expanding the Horizons of Warfare in Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond - Get Hands-On During Steam Next Fest!

Fulqrum Publishing :

Prague, Czech Republic – October 11, 2024 - Paging all world leaders - the battle has extended to the stars! Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond,  the latest instalment in Fulqrum Publishing and Jujubee’s grand strategy series, will be allowing players to expand their political legacy into the Solar System. Of course, this means their warfare capacities have been expanded too, with Realpolitiks 3 allowing players to engage in land, air, orbital, and planetary warfare for the first time in franchise history.
 

Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond is set to release on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG soon - but would-be space rulers don’t need to wait much longer, as they’ll be able to get hands-on with the first playable demo during Steam Next Fest - taking place from October 14 - 21!

Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond places you at the helm of any modern state, where your decisions will shape the future of the world. And, of course, with that power comes the growing might of your military. Players will be able to get hands-on with the game’s combat system during Steam Next Fest, so here’s just a quick look at the new battlefields offered in Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond - Orbital and Planetary Warfare.

  Orbital Warfare: The Battle Beyond Earth  

Orbital combat plays a pivotal role in the geopolitical landscape of Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond. For the first time in the series, players can engage in orbital warfare not only around Earth but also in the orbits of other celestial bodies, including the Moon, the Sun, and every planet in the Solar System. Each celestial body's orbit has now become a potential battlefield for control over vital resources and strategic positions.
 

Players can now deploy satellites, space stations, and defence platforms around any of these planets and moons. Whether defending Earth from orbital threats or expanding players’ presence in space to other planets, orbital warfare will require careful planning and technological superiority. Satellites can be used for espionage, gathering crucial intelligence on enemy movements across the solar system, while orbital lasers and kinetic weapons offer powerful tools for devastating attacks from space. Defensive platforms allow players to guard against enemy strikes and secure their presence in orbit, preventing other nations from gaining a technological or military edge.
 

This new system emphasises that victory in space can cripple a nation’s infrastructure, cutting off communications or disabling satellites. But the stakes have risen even further: controlling the orbit of the Moon, Mars, or even the Sun provides significant geopolitical advantages, as nations with dominance in these orbits can strike across the entire solar system. Mastery of space warfare will not only protect players’ assets on Earth but also open new avenues for expansion and military supremacy across the stars.

  Planetary Warfare: Expanding the Battlefield to the Solar System  

Perhaps the most exciting addition is planetary warfare, where battles extend beyond Earth. In Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond, players can now engage in conflicts on other celestial bodies within our solar system, including Mars, the Moon, the Sun, and even the moons of other planets. Each of these environments presents its own challenges, with different resource availability, environmental hazards, and strategic considerations.
 

Control over other planets also directly influences players’ technological development, military power, and political leverage on Earth. The addition of air, orbital, and planetary warfare introduces a new level of strategic complexity. These layers are interdependent; controlling the skies can enhance ground battles, while orbital dominance can provide crucial intelligence and satellite-based weapons that impact battles on Earth and beyond. The interconnected nature of these systems ensures that no single layer of combat exists in isolation — success in Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond means mastering them all.
 

These new layers of combat make Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond the most expansive and immersive entry in the series. As a player, you’ll have more freedom to devise complex strategies, whether through dominating the skies, controlling orbital space, or expanding humanity’s reach to other planets. The stakes have never been higher, and the variety of warfare allows for infinite strategic possibilities.
 

Get ready to lead your nation across land, sky, space, and beyond in the most ambitious Realpolitiks game yet - and try it out for yourself at Steam Next Fest, taking place from October 14 - 21!
