Sins 1.1 Beta Has Officially Arrived

The next major update for Sins of a Solar Empire, the best-selling PC strategy game of 2008 that puts the player in command of an interstellar empire at war, is here.

This new update is so robust and contains several brand new technologies, that Stardock will be offering it as an optional beta for those who want to help test it out and provide feedback.

Version 1.1 not only includes a host of play balancing changes but new content such as an updated graphics engine, updated visuals, new damage animations, and more. It also includes a new multiplayer system called "Alloy" which eliminates the need for configuring routers or changing port numbers. This beta update will be available only through Stardock's new Impulse platform as the company will no longer be providing standalone patches for future versions of the game.

Sins of a Solar Empire is available at most retail outlets as well as available for digital download at www.sinsofasolarempire.com or through Stardock's new digital distribution platform, Impulse, www.impulsedriven.com.
