A version was planned for the Sony PlayStation, as well as the Sega Saturn (the first "Star Control" game for Sega consoles since the original). However, the console port was cancelled during development of the PC version. The game was also delayed. "Star Control 3" had been scheduled to be released in the Fall of 1995, but it was finally published a year later, due to the complexities of all the interactions between the different aliens. Much later, in 2011, the game would be re-released for modern computers through GOG.com.
