Sins Forums
Hello, I was interested in purchasing Sins of a Solar Empire. Would it be necessary to purchase the original Sins + the upcoming Rebellion expansion or could Rebellion be purchased by itself? Thanks.
My understanding based on what the developers have said is that Rebellion will be a "stand-alone" expanstion that will include all of the previous content from the original Sins game and the two expansions. In other words, you could just purchase rebellion and play that without ever having owned any other Sins games. I think there will be a $10 discount on the Rebellion download for people who already own the Diplomacy expansion (aka "Trinity").
How badly do you want to play this game and how much time will you have to devote to it? It's possible that it would make sense to just purchase Trinity now if you'll have large amounts of time to play it over the summer.
The best deal for people who have never played Sins seems to be to just get Rebellion. That said, it will mean you won't be playing Sins for a little bit longer, at least until the Rebellion beta is released, and we don't know when that will be right now.
