Sovereign Earth

Every empire falls. Hold yours on a living Earth.

Grand strategy from 3000 BC to an age still to come: 197 nations on one real map, with real-time battles and sieges you command yourself.

  • Coming to Steam and Epic

Tank and fighter models from the current build (AI-assisted 3D), rendered and lit by the studio; not a gameplay capture.

Trailer

The Sovereign Earth trailer

Siege towers and a battering ram advance on the walls of an ancient city

A new trailer is being cut from the current build. Until then, everything on this page is a real capture from the pre-alpha PC build.

The 270 BC start: Rome, Carthage, the Gauls and the Seleucids on one map

01 / 03

One living map of the real Earth

Borders, cities, diplomacy and wars between every realm on one map of the real world, from the Bronze Age on. Start in 270 BC with Rome, Carthage, the Gauls and the Seleucids already moving; later starts are planned.

Battles you fight in real time

Take the field yourself: give orders to companies from the command bar, hold rivers and hills, and bring siege towers and rams up to the walls. Or let the card resolve it and get back to the map.

Historical battles, as they happened

Fight Gaugamela, Cannae, Zama, Alesia, Kadesh and Hastings from the main menu with the armies deployed as history left them, then see if you can do better.
