Alliance of the Sacred Suns is a premium strategy title for PC developed by KatHawk Studios. It's a grand strategy game that employs a sci-fi theme set in space. It tells the story of humanity's last-standing empire and the great noble houses vying for control and dominance.

Just like with Master of Orion and Remnants of the Precursors, Alliance of the Sacred Suns is based on the 4X(Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate) sub-genre. Players will take on the role of a young emperor or empress as they ascend to the throne, carrying the hopes of mankind.

What's the story all about?

Alliance of the Sacred Suns is set a thousand years into the future wherein humanity's last great empire is on the brink of collapse. The Great Noble Houses are all competing for control, and you are at the center of it all. As you ascend to the throne, you'll deal with hidden agendas, schemers, and make hard decisions for the sake of your people and the future.

Alliance of the Sacred Suns places you in the role of a ruler, and all the duties and perils that come with the position. The noble houses have all the power and influence, and it's up to you to do what's right for your people and the empire. Think carefully about your appointed officials as they are crucial in exercising your limited will and achieving your goals.

It also places emphasis on your actions and decisions as they affect how the story progresses. You even get mod support, which is always a nice bonus. Now, when it comes to an official release, this is where things get vague. As of this writing, it's planned for Q1 2022. Should that timeframe change, you can know about it via its Steam page.
