What's the best way to get news about DW2?


There is no news and hasn't been any. Just wait like the rest of us.

Well thanks for your informed comment. Very knowledgeable person you must be.
Be sure to share more information with this forum when you can......and yes, Stellaris is a good game.

Looks similar to DW in a lot of ways. Is this the sequel, only under a different name?

Developers sometime change names, and the art style isn't "totally different" at all. There's actually a good deal of similarity between the two.


That being said, yes, I do agree it's not Distant Worlds 2. Astra Exodus is turn-based (I hadn't noticed that until now), and I don't see the DW series deviating from the real-time 4x formula.

I've taken that as a given for some time now. A 2020 release date (or later) has been obvious since Matrix/Slitherine began looking for 3D artists to add to the DW2 project.

Looks like a sequel to 'Stars in Shadow' to me.

You should try DWU while you wait for DW2.
DWU is so much better than Stellaris.

Atleast a message saying they are working on it.
The Silence is a bit troubling, hoping they did not end up in any trouble.

Well, they've already said a number of times that they're working on it, and they were certainly hiring people to work on it.

Is there any indication whatsoever of when we might hear some formal news, even a little development diary update would go a long way?

If there were Early Access or Crowd Funding options, I'd be in day one, without question.

This is a voluntary watch. I'm standing down.
