Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars will be released worldwide on August 25 of this year, Wargaming Labs has announced.

After spending several months in Early Access, receiving feedback from both new gamers and returning fans of the original series, the reboot of the massively popular ‘93 strategy game is now available for pre-order. Standard editions of the game will retail at $29.99 while the Master of Orion Collector’s Edition will cost $49.99, which comes with a digital art book, soundtrack, exclusive ship skins, and an exclusive, new playable race called the Terran Khanate. WG Labs has also announced that those who purchase Master of Orion will also receive a copy of Cavedog Entertainment’s ‘97 RTS game, Total Annihilation.

Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars takes the ‘90s turn-based strategy series and brings it into the modern generation with real-time strategy gameplay and fully voiced alien characters with voice actors like Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Michael Dorn (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Alan Tudyk (Firefly).
