VALTERION: THE LOST EARTH

A New Home. A Lost Way Back.

In 2247, humanity embarks on its first major interstellar colonization mission.

Shortly before reaching its destination, the journey ends in disaster. Only 50 people make it to the alien world of Elyra. Critical data and navigational information are lost — including the coordinates of Earth.

On Elyra, humanity begins to rebuild.

How far your new civilization will go is up to you.

Build a New Colony

Begin with 50 survivors, limited supplies, and a makeshift settlement.

Secure food and water, gather resources, and construct housing, production facilities, storage buildings, research centers, and essential infrastructure.

Expand roads and supply networks as you transform an improvised settlement into an increasingly complex colony.

Decide How Far Your Civilization Will Go

VALTERION lets you choose the focus of your game in Singleplayer.

Colony

Focus entirely on building and developing your new home for the long term.

Expand across large areas, develop complex production chains and infrastructure, and build a self-sustaining civilization.

Spaceflight and galactic expansion are not part of this mode.

Galactic Expansion

Begin as a small colony on Elyra as well, but continue far beyond the planetary settlement phase.

Research spaceflight technologies, build ships, explore other worlds and star systems, and lead humanity out into the galaxy.

In both ways of playing, your colony forms the foundation of your civilization.

Develop a Functioning Economy

Resources, production, storage, energy, transportation, and workforce management are all interconnected.

Extract natural resources and process them into materials and products. Build production chains, manage storage capacities, and adapt your economy to the needs of your population and industry.

As your colony grows, its economic systems become increasingly complex.

Research Opens New Possibilities

Much of the knowledge carried by the original expedition was lost.

Research new technologies and unlock more advanced buildings, production methods, energy sources, and infrastructure.

In Colony mode, your technological development remains focused entirely on your new home.

If you choose Galactic Expansion, your technological journey will eventually lead humanity back into space.

Assemble Your Own Advisory Council

As your civilization grows, so does the number of challenges you must manage.

Hire different advisors to support you in research, economics, colony development, and security.

In Galactic Expansion, additional areas such as trade, diplomacy, and fleet management become part of their responsibilities.

Not every candidate possesses the same skills. Decide who you hire and which areas you want to invest in.

Explore Elyra — and, If You Choose, the Galaxy

Survey Elyra, discover resource deposits, and expand into new regions.

If you choose Galactic Expansion, your civilization can eventually leave its new home and begin exploring the galaxy once again.

Build ships, discover other planets and star systems, establish new colonies, and secure resources far beyond Elyra.

And somewhere among the stars, there may still be a trail leading back to Earth.

You Are Not Alone

In Galactic Expansion, you will discover that other intelligent species and civilizations exist throughout the galaxy — and not all of them will react to humanity in the same way.

Some seek trade and diplomatic relations. Others simply want to be left alone. Some are territorial or openly hostile and may see your growing civilization as a threat.

Their levels of technological development also vary greatly.

Some command powerful interstellar empires. Others are only taking their first steps into space.

And some have never left their homeworld at all — perhaps unaware that intelligent life exists anywhere beyond their own planet.

For them, humanity may become their first encounter with an alien civilization.

Trade, Diplomacy, and Conflict

If you choose Galactic Expansion, you will build relationships with other civilizations, establish trade, and decide how humanity should find its place in the galaxy.

But interests can clash, and relationships can change.

If diplomacy fails, you must protect your colonies.

Develop ships, assemble fleets, and decide how your military forces should be used.

Something Is Out There

The farther humanity ventures into unexplored regions of the galaxy, the more often it encounters ancient stories, forgotten warnings, and traces of a power many believed had vanished long ago.

Perhaps they are only stories.

Perhaps they are not.

Because somewhere among the stars, something appears to have awakened once again.
