Your Political Future Begins Here - Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond Launches Into Early Access Today!



Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond is here to put you into office.  You are cordially invited to prove your political brilliance - pick from a range of 195 countries, set up your government and navigate the pitfalls of domestic and international politics. A glorious destiny awaits - the domination of not just the Earth, but the whole Solar system!


To achieve this ultimate goal, you will have to carefully consider a myriad of decisions, starting with the choice of a country you wish to lead. Taking control of any contemporary nation in order to fulfil your ambitions: from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and everything in between. 


You will also need to select your optimal form of government, build your cabinet of ministers, and improve your character’s skills - all while leading your country’s efforts in economic development, research, diplomacy, espionage or war. Will you lead your people to the stars or to their ultimate doom?


Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond is available from today in Early Access - with three game modes currently available at launch - Realism, Overdrive and Sandbox. Players can begin their political empires on Earth, before slowly expanding out into the solar system - with the option to lead any country existing in 2010, the starting year of the campaign. 


The game will continue to be shaped throughout its Early Access period, with the full 1.0 launch expected to be released in 2025. A number of features and mechanics are already planned to be added during the Early Access period - including the possibility to use weapons of mass destruction, implement martial law, the influence of pollution on the environment, different winning objectives for campaigns and much more - even overall different campaign scenarios and recreating historical countries. 


The developers are also planning to add more textual localizations to the game at full launch, including French, German, Spanish, Polish, Simplified Chinese and Russian. Of course, due to the nature of Early Access, these plans can change based on community feedback. If you’d like to join the community and help the development of the game yourself, you can join the  Discord server and Steam Discussion forums to share your feedback directly with the developers themselves.


Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond is available to purchase today on PC via Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store and other digital storefronts.
