Developer Stardock revealed Star Control: Origins, its latest game, and the first entry in the Star Control franchise since it acquired the rights from Atari.
Described by Stardock as a "sci-fi action/adventure game" with RPG elements, Star Control: Origins puts players in control of "Earth’s first interstellar starship."
Players navigate the ship through a "procedurally created galaxy," contacting alien races, exploring planets, and fighting "action packed battles."
The exploration and battle sequences take place over the backdrop of a "complex intrigue that has the galaxy on the brink of chaos."
Executive producer Brad Wardell said his team hopes fans of the original "will like the direction we’re taking," while simultaneously "introducing a whole new generation" to the Star Control franchise. In 2015, Stardock invited fans to help determine the future of Star Control as a franchise.
