Wargaming announced today that those who will purchase the Collector's Edition of Master of Orion, coming on February 26th, will have immediate access to the early access of the game.

"At the start of Early Access, explorers can lead six diverse races: Mrrshan, Psilon, Bulrathi, Alkari, Human, Sakkra, with more races and content to be added in the near future. Three unique victory conditions await players on the path to Orion: become leader of the Galactic Council to claim a “Diplomatic” victory; exterminate all other races to win via “Conquest”; or have the highest average overall score between other conditions to achieve “Excellence”.

During Early Access, Master of Orion will support 64-bit Windows PC, with other platforms and specifications to arrive later. The game will arrive with full English localization and its star-studded cast, as well as Russian localization. Explorers from across the world can expect German, French, Spanish, Czech, Polish, Turkish, Spanish (MX), Portuguese, Korean and Japanese to be implemented soon."

The publisher also released a gallery of screenshots and a trailer, which you can see below.
