A new chapter will soon be written in the grand space saga of Distant Worlds. This sci-fi series praised as �a worthy successor to Masters of Orion� (Eurogamer.dk), �a true space empire game� (Gamers Hall), �a small revolution in 4X strategy game� (PC4War), is now flying towards infinity with its ultimate collection: Universe.

Distant Worlds: Universe is the much anticipated stand-alone package which gathers all previous releases of the series. Emphasis was placed on the community as the game features advanced modding tools to allow you to develop extra content and set up their own galaxies and epic storylines. Thanks to a user-friendly in-game editor and a comprehensive modding guide, even beginners will be able to create unique galaxies with intricate plots.

This collector�s edition also introduces a new scenario covering the ancient galaxy and the first war between the Freedom Alliance and the Shaktur Axis in which you will get access to powerful technologies and new weapons, including the ability to build planet destroyers.

Distant Worlds: Universe is set to be released in May 2014. Get more information on Distant Worlds Universe from its official product page.

If you already own everything else in the series, will there be a "Universe" Patch (free or paid) to allow you to upgrade without paying to buy what you already own?

Pricing and upgrade information will be in a future announcement, but yes we are planning an upgrade path for existing customers.
