Publisher Hooded Horse has announced today that its sci-fi grand strategy game, Terra Invicta, is set to enter Early Access later this month on PC (via Steam and GOG). It will launch on Early Access on September 26, 2022. From the creators of XCOM 1 and 2’s popular Long War mod, the game is looking to expand on the ideas that made the mods so popular in the first place.
On the brink of an extraterrestrial invasion, who will take command of humanity? Will you protect Earth from the aliens, ally with them, or serve?

About Terra Invicta
Bridging the gap between the familiar terrain of Earth and the far reaches of the Solar System, Terra Invicta elevates the themes of the alien invasion plot and turns everything up to 11. The campaign begins as a terrestrial game of geopolitical chess where players must strategically vie for control of the planet’s nations and resources. As faction leaders, players will weigh the benefits and consequences of their actions, but how the upper hand is gained is completely up to them.
Players must gather support and resources, and take the fight into space with orbital stations, remote bases, and space fleets. As players take their first steps in colonizing the Solar System, they must prepare for the wars to come.
Players will control one of these factions:
- The Resistance works to form an alliance of nations to mount a coordinated defense
- Humanity First vows to exterminate the aliens alongside any who sympathize with them
- The Servants worship the aliens and believe they will solve all the troubles of the world
- The Protectorate advocates negotiated surrender as the only means to avoid annihilation
- The Academy hopes the aliens’ arrival heralds the opportunity to form an interstellar alliance
- The Initiative seeks to profit from the chaos and destruction
- Project Exodus plans to build a massive starship and flee the Solar System
