Sins of a Solar Empire added to Steam, more Stardock titles coming soon

Stardock and Ironclad Games' Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity, the bundled collection of the epic space armada RTS and its mini-expansions, is available now on Steam. After selling over 2 million units, mostly through Stardock's Impulse digital distribution system, the game is finally warping over to Valve's service.

"With the sale of our former PC digital download technology to GameStop earlier this year, we no longer have any conflicts of interest in offering our titles to other digital distribution channels," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. "We are starting with Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity with other titles being made available over the coming weeks."

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, a "full-fledged expansion" of the series and not a sequel, is expected to launch next spring. Stardock plans to add more of its catalog in "the coming weeks."

Sins of a Solar Empire, developed by Ironclad Games, is the world's most popular space-based real-time strategy game. In it, you are the leader of one of three civilizations embroiled in a galactic war, fighting for the survival of your entire race against relentless foes. Your success will depend on your ability to manage your empire and command your vast fleets of starships to victory. Players will colonize new worlds, develop extensive trade networks, conduct research, fortify their empires with powerful starbases and fleets of ships, plus control the galaxy using the unique diplomacy system that reacts dynamically to the players' actions.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity supports both a single-player "sand box" mode against cunning computer players as well as a compelling multiplayer mode that lets friends and other players from around the fight epic space battles with massive starships, world destroying weapons and nefarious diplomatic and trade strategies.

More distribution platform announcements are planned for Stardock titles in the coming weeks in order to give fans the opportunity to play on the platform of their choice.
