About the game

What is New Dawn?

And the story continues... Twenty years after the Alliance was formed, the cost of constructing new space stations is becoming unbearable. In order to improve the economy, the Alliance has decided to rebuild and recolonize some of the planets and space facilities who were abandoned during the war. By activating them once more, the Alliance is hoping to acquire the much needed funds and resources. In New Dawn – a thematic sequel to Among the Stars and part of the Game: Among the Stars series – players take the role of Alliance officials. Their assignment is to explore and revive a galactic sector. By developing various technologies and dispatching ambassadors, each player has the chance to visit abandoned planets, military facilities and space stations and establish bases to maintain control. Competition is fierce, and each mistake in maintaining control can cost dearly... Both New Dawn and Among the Stars: Revival are compatible with the Among the Stars: Miniatures Pack accessory, which brings even more thematic elements and a great look to your games in the Game: Among the Stars. It is a... New Dawn. Will you be part of the solution, or will you be part of the problem?
