It’s a funny thing when you follow an indie game from its initial announcement to its release. I’d say it’s an equally funny thing when you live in ignorance throughout an indie game’s development, only finding out about it when a release trailer is posted. In the case of Knuckle Sandwich, developed by Andy Brophy, I think there will be a fair amount of both column ‘A’ and column ‘B’ when the game drops in November.
Galactic Civilizations 4 expansion finally gets a full release date
19.09.2023 - 17:59 / pcgamesn.com / Sid Meier
Galactic Civilizations 4‘sSupernova Editionis almost here, and it’s one of the most exciting upcoming space game expansions. As the leader of a united world looking to expand your civilization to the stars, you’re tasked with overseeing foreign relations, policies, technology research, and more. If you’ve played any of Sid Meier’s Civilization games, Galactic Civilizations 4 is similar, in a sci-fi interstellar sort of way. Stardock is now finally releasing the game’s full Supernova expansion into the wild after an exciting early access period.
“Supernova is, by far, the biggest expansion Stardock has ever made,” says Stardock founder Brad Wardell. “It doesn’t just add a lot of new content but transforms the gameplay in ways not seen in a 4x game before.” One of Supernova’s coming features includes the integration of AlienGPT, an extraterrestrial technology that allows you to design a custom civilization using generative AI.
Cultural progression, several new alien civilizations, a new battle system, a new starship designer, and a new story-driven campaign are also arriving with Supernova. The latest entry in Stardock’s award-winning space series arrives on Thursday, October 19. The game’s full launch date coincides with the developer’s 30-year anniversary.
If you’re interested in boarding your own spaceship and creating a unique civilization, you can purchase Galactic Civilization 4 on Steam or Epic. If you snag an Epic copy, you’ll be able to upgrade to Supernova for a highly discounted rate. Galactic Civilizations 4 costs $39.99 if bought during the early access period pre-release. If you buy it post-Supernova launch, the game’s price point goes up by ten bucks at $49.99.
As a massive space nerd myself, I’m looking forward to traversing new star systems and encountering fresh alien faces along the way. It’ll also be quite interesting to see how Stardock’s implementation of AI generation works out in-game since it’s an avenue I haven’t personally explored in any other strategy experience.

High on Life expansion finally confirms launch date, and it’s soon
High on Life is one of those silly, surreal experiences you never shake after playing through to the end. As a massive Rick and Morty stan, I really enjoyed it despite some of its repetitive qualities. It delivered what I had expected it to, a nice package of humor and the ultimate question, “What am I even looking at?” High on Knife, Squanch Games’ DLC, excited me as soon as it was announced. Some time has passed since then, and we’ve finally received an official High on Knife release date.

A new version of Stardock's cosmic empire wrangler Galactic Civilizations IV, titled Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova Edition, will release on Steam and the Epic Games Store on 19th October - which also happens to be Stardock's 30th anniversary. It's "by far the biggest expansion Stardock has ever made", according to company founder Brad Wardell, who claims this latest dollop of interstellar tyranny will "transform the gameplay in ways not seen in a 4X game before". By which he chiefly means that the Supernova Edition uses large language learning models to generate civ backstories on demand. Let's dig in!
