Triumph Studios and Paradox Interactive will release Age of Wonders: Planetfall tomorrow, and for a lot of fans of the series it’s a launch to watch out for. Besides being the first game in the Age of Wonders series to release in the last five years, this will also see the grand strategy series’ first outing for consoles, as Age of Wonders: Planetfall is also releasing for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

All of that said, let’s take a look at some preload details that everyone interested in the game needs to know, which can also be helpful for players who want to be informed before they finalize their purchases.

What is Age of Wonders: Planetfall?

Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a 4X turn-based strategy game. 4X refers to the four main aspects of grand strategy: explore, exploit, expand, and exterminate. The game is hugely strategy-based and takes place on a procedurally-generated map in one of several planets, with the combat taking a turn-based form as well. It is the first game in Triumph Studios’ long running Age of Wonders series to be set in a science fiction setting, with previous iterations being based on high fantasy.

The game lets you control one of six races as you play in the campaign mode to uncover the mysterious secrets behind what brought about the demise of the Star Union, an intergalactic human government. The game also has a scenario mode and an online multiplayer mode, and all three are readily available to play from the outset.

When can I preload the game?

The game is available for preloading now across all platforms and will unlock at different times tomorrow. Planetfall releases worldwide on Xbox One and in Europe on PS4 right at 3:00 a.m. EDT on August 6. For American PS4 gamers, as well as everyone on Steam, Planetfall releases at 12:00 p.m. EDT on August 6.

What editions are available for the game?

Age of Wonders: Planetfall comes in three editions: a Standard Edition, a Deluxe Edition and a Premium Edition. The Deluxe Edition comes with a Digital Artbook, an Original Soundtrack, the Bravado Bundle Cosmetic Pack, the Spacerpunk Cosmetic Pack and the Infested Worlds Scenario Planet. The Premium Edition comes with all of the Deluxe Edition content, plus a Season Pass, which gives players complete access to the upcoming three major expansions and an instant reward.

In addition, players who pre-purchased the game will get the Paragon Noble Cosmetic Pack.
