Power the Future is a strategy game that allows you to take control of Germany, the USA, China, India, Australia, Japan or the UK. Develop and deploy technology and lead your country into the future. Compete to be the World Leader or focus on three other possible Victory Paths for each country.
Power the Future puts you in control of a world power and challenges you to build an Energy Empire for the future. Build a company and transform and expand your country’s economy to become an Energy Superpower!
Choose your path: compete against rival nations to become the World Leader, or focus on achieving your country’s 2040 Goals. Research and develop breakthrough technologies, diversify your energy company, and see how it stacks up against the world’s largest players.
Build power and pipeline networks that span countries and continents. Develop solar in Africa to supply Europe, complete mega-projects like subsea power cables from Australia to Japan, or pursue moonshots such as Fusion and Space-Based Solar. Feed India’s growing demand with a national grid, help China become the first all-electric superpower, keep the USA on the cutting edge, or transform Australia into a major exporter fueling Asia.
