<p>You may remember that back in October <a href="https://www.pockettactics.com/articles/stellaris-galaxy-command-mobile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Paradox Interactive tried bringing <em>Stellaris</em></a>, their popular sci-fi 4X grand strategy game, to mobile. Sort of. It was a free-to-play MMO Strategy spin-off title called <em>Stellaris: Galaxy Command</em> that had more in common with, say, <em>Hades Star</em> than it does ‘OG’ <em>Stellaris</em>.</p>
<p>It’s now <a href="https://t.co/MwgnOe41Dz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">returned to the Apple App store</a> after a three(ish) month hiatus, as the original launch did not go well. Within 24 hours it had come to light that quite a few art assets in the game looked suspiciously similar to assets from other games, such as <em>Halo</em>. I’m going to <a href="https://kotaku.com/new-paradox-game-steals-halo-artwork-gets-pulled-1839074669" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">redirect you to an article Kotaku ran</a> at the time, as it covers the key points quite well.</p>

<p>That’s not taking into account that early indications suggested that <em>Galaxy Command</em> was kind of a reskin of the developers other sci-fi MMO strategy game, <em>Nova Empire</em>, which had existed for a while and is still available to play now. We’ll be interested in seeing whether they’ve managed to diversify the two games more in the interim.</p>
<p>Unfortunately we’ll have to wait, as this latest release attempt is actually a soft-launch, and only applies to a select few countries: <strong>Sweden, Canada, Australia & New Zealand</strong>.</p>

<p>Even for a soft-launch, that seems quite lean, but I imagine the company is taking a more cautious approach considering what happened last time. We’ll let you know more as soon as we can, but if you’re in one of the target countries and take it for a spin, let us know what you think.</p>
<p><em>In the meantime, everyone else can pre-register for the game on the <a href="https://galaxycommand.stellaris.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">official website</a>.</em></p>
