The second beta will let players explore new multiplayer, battle viewer, events, and galactic achievement features along with several races to rise up and dominate the galaxy with.
Watch the trailer below:
In Galactic Civilizations IV, players spread their civilization out from their home planet, exploring, researching new technology, and eventually clashing with neighboring civilizations. Dominate the known universe through colonization, trade, diplomacy, intrigue, and war in this next installment of the Galactic Civilizations franchise, which adds more in-depth research options, story driven missions, and a new 4-axis ideology system to fully immerse players in their role as a galactic leader.
In the three new multiplayer modes, players will get a wide selection of options for 4x players. In Arena, two players will be locked in a fierce battle with each other, with no escape in sight.
The second mode is Agenda, where the goal will change with each game. You will have to conquer and hold precursor relics or defeat select enemies. You will need to be careful with decisions to defeat your opponents while building or fighting to reach victory.
In survival, you can invite your friends as you all will be pitted against each other and AI opponents who will grow in strength and strategy as the game progresses.
In addition to the new multiplayer modes, there is a new Battle Viewer which adds an exciting visual spark to the game, letting you see ship battles in all their cinematic glory. There are new commanders as well for several civilizations, that include Krynn, Iconians, Onyx Hive, and Altarians. Recruited citizens can take command of one of seven vessels unique to their civilization, granting players an edge over their enemies through stat bonuses and other special abilities.
