I'm a big Stellaris fan (not that I'm good at it) so having a Trek flavored version is going to be perfect. It also does really make sense to have it set in the Star Trek universe to begin with. There are so many prebuilt situations that you can revisit through a new lens. Do a bunch of 'What If' scenarios. It's going to be wonderful.
We barely get any Trek games lately and it's exhausting. Most of them are mobile games which can be fun but don't require much planning or strategy. It definitely already looks like the grand strategy game that I need.
Edit: Well, you guys are going to get it at least.
You already have a Trek flavored version of Stellaris. It's called New Horizons and it's been around for nearly as long as Stellaris itself has.
I don't play on PC so the mod is completely unavailable to me. So no, I don't have a Trek flavored version of Stellaris.
And I just learned that the information I was previously given about Infinite coming to consoles was completely incorrect. It's a Paradox game so there's a chance but otherwise I can throw out my streamers and excitement I guess. Well I hope everyone else enjoys it at least.
How will you play Infinite? As far as I can tell it's only on Steam.
Simple answer, I won't and I'm actually upset by that.
I updated my comment to address a few minutes ago but it must have been after you opened the comments.
I had been excited and waiting for this game for months because the person who I heard the announcement from had also said it was going to be for consoles. I didn't think to verify that because he had never made a mistake like that before. Gaming on PC is also not an option. I've been using the same laptop for 5 years and it was already outdated when I got it.
Ah, my bad. Hopefully it's successful enough to get a console port.
Here's hoping. Paradox does tend to do console ports for most of their games so there's a decent chance.
