Press release:
2Prague, Czech Republic – June 20, 2023.
The Prague-based (Czech Republic) video games publisher Fulqrum Publishing and the Kuopio-based (Finland) indie games developer Kalla Gameworks, are today very glad and thrilled to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their sci-fi 4X grand strategy game “The Pegasus Expedition”,
is now available for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store for $19.99/€19,99 with a 15% launch discount.

After months of development and successful Early Access campaign, The Pegasus Expedition is now ready to voyage into deep space and features a brand new campaign, new story events and gameplay improvements, based on community feedback.

Players can purchase The Pegasus Expedition for a suggested digital price of $19.99/€19,99 with a 15% launch discount.

The 1.0 release of The Pegasus Expedition introduces a brand new campaign, The Purge, where players are given the opportunity to take control of a new playable faction. An independent regenerative system and deadly bio-weapon, the Biomass, introduces players to a unique and calamitous playstyle, new to the 4X title with a different gameplay feature set and its own storyline. The Purge is the fifth alternate scenario added to the game, further complementing the extensive main campaign.

New ‘All Fleets Mode’ enables players to experience and take control of larger conflicts in the cosmos, with all fleets participating simultaneously in epic 3 vs 3 battles. Alongside this new mode, twenty new story events have been added for the full launch, spanning a huge variety of subjects ranging from supporting the Chinese fleets in defending the Earth from the invading Colossals, to uncovering spies in your high command, and coming across ancient archeological finds.

Further improvements to the diplomacy AI systems have been implemented, in addition to a variety of rebalancing changes to create the best possible experience for the player. Building upon the regular updates that were seen throughout the Early Access period, the full launch of The Pegasus Expedition will see a whole host of new features, polish and quality of life changes, as seen below.
