The video posted by PC Gamer shares the story of a young Middle Eastern girl who gets chosen to be rocketed up into the deep dark space which leaves behind Earth to deal with ever impending doom all by itself.
The scene then jumps to what seems to be a Russian priest who blesses other prospective voyagers, emphasising the diversification of culture.
“As we race skyward, we carried aloft the hopes and dreams of those left behind,” the narrator tells us. For better or worse, the last remainders of humanity wake up after a long, well-slept journey through the cosmos, ready to take over a new colony.
The sci-fi strategy game requires you and your team to colonise an alien planet and create a new civilisation. Similar to its predecessors, Beyond Earth will encourage you to research new technologies and build new armies. It will be released 24 October.
