Age of Wonders: Planetfall Developer Q&A

The official announcement of Age of Wonders: Planetfall didn’t give us much to work with and left us wondering as to why exactly the long-running fantasy series has gone sci-fi all of a sudden. As it turns out, the main reason for this is precisely the series’ longevity. According to a live Q&A session with three high-ranking Triumph Studios developers, they felt like they had to try something new after doing fantasy for 20 years and sci-fi was an obvious choice.
