Nexus 5X

Nexus 5X captures the deep strategy, diplomatic intrigue, and epic interstellar space battles of a sprawling spacefaring 4X, but with a focus on fast-paced gameplay sessions among friends akin to a game night. You will explore, expand, exploit, exterminate, and express. All of the depth, diplomacy, conflict, and conquest of a turn-based 4X epic but played in fast-paced 60-minute competitive sessions. Play Solo or Multiplayer for 2-8 players.

  • An Hour of Power: Nothing beats the thrill of a deep strategy board game session with friends, and with Nexus 5X, players can play not just one but multiple sessions during a game night where "One More Turn" becomes "One More Game."
  • Social Strategy: Choose from unique factions and leaders and play alone or in turn-based multiplayer with 2-8 players. Play with friends or brave the Nexus online in skill-based matchmaking. Form unlikely alliances, execute bitter betrayals, or quietly plot from the shadows to ascend victorious to the Galactic Throne, all in around 60 minutes.
  • Diplomacy or "Diplomacy": Starting from the safe haven of their home world, players can rapidly expand their reach across the galaxy to explore and occupy new systems, eventually taking control of the throne-world of Nexus. Military conflict and diplomatic dealings are available as players expand and explore, but so is the power struggle that plays out in the Galactic Council, as rival empires exert their influence to cast votes in favor of new titles and resolutions, aiming to empower their faction or advance their immediate strategic objectives.
  • Unique Factions & Leaders: For role-players who want to immerse themselves in the lore-rich Stellaris universe, or for 'by-the-numbers' strategists, select from factions and leaders that alter the approach of each match, offering a range of playstyles and ways to gain the upper-hand over your opponents.
