Michigan, February, 2026 | Galactic Starfish, Inc. is excited to officially announce the development of Strategeist, a deep and ambitious grand strategy game coming soon to Steam. Playtesters are needed to test the current stage of Strategeist’s development. Gamers interested in playtesting are urged to join the Official Strategeist Discord Server for instructions on how to participate.
In Strategeist, players step into the shoes of a “Strategeist,” a guiding spirit of statecraft, and take command of one of over 1,000 historical nations on a dynamically simulated 3D globe. From the dawn of the Mongol invasions in 1206 through centuries of war, diplomacy, and societal change, players will strive to forge their own path to greatness through tactical warfare, resource management, economic growth, and political maneuvering.
Key Features of Strategeist
- Massive Historical Sandbox - Select from hundreds of playable nations and forge your legacy across centuries of simulated world history.
- Deep Strategic Systems - Influence diplomacy, build economies, advance technology, and balance internal institutions to secure your nation’s prestige.
- 3D Spherical World Map - Navigate a richly detailed globe with thousands of territories, each with unique strategic considerations.
- Moddable by Design - Extensive support for JSON and Lua scripting gives players the freedom to create and customize their own experiences.
Added features like advanced diplomacy, espionage, naval engagements, and policy management offer players a robust suite of tools to outmaneuver rivals and overcome dynamic global challenges.
Strategist is currently available for wishlisting on Steam. No release date has been announced yet, but players can add it to their wishlists now to receive updates and notifications. Strategist is currently looking for play testers, as well.
About Strategeist
Take on the mantle of a Strategeist and grab the levers of power to shepherd your country through good times - and bad. Your goal is to establish a powerful nation that stands proud and strong amongst the chaos of the world. However, you are not alone; other Strategeists also vie for dominion over the world and there are many among them who would happily see you fail.
Every nation has its own unique geographical situation, historical problems, and political context. How will YOU thread the needle?
