Hearts Of Iron 2 : Doomsday | (Gandalfounet - 20h43)
Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War | (Gandalfounet - 20h24)
Il y a peu de temps encore, nous apprenions que le studio Stainless Steel cessait ses activités pour cause budgetaire, et du coup, laissait la sortie de Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War plus qu'incertaine.
Mais voila que Midway, notre héros du jour, arrive avec son communiqué de presse :
« Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War, Midway's highly-anticipated real-time strategy game that puts players in the role of some of history's greatest generals, is now scheduled for release in June 2006. The game's development is now being led internally out of the Midway San Diego studio, with a group that includes game industry veterans from the teams that developed "Heroes Of Might And Magic™" and "Lords Of Everquest™."
Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War is the first real-time strategy game to place players directly in the heart of combat with an innovative Hero Mode, allowing them to fight side-by-side with their troops from a third-person perspective as the ultimate super-weapon. Players can choose from eight heroes such as Julius Caesar, Cleopatra or Alexander the Great, each with special heroic abilities and weapons, as they raise powerful armies, plan attack strategies and utilize Hero Mode to turn the tide of battle ».
Pour faire bref, le jeu sera terminé par un petit studio interne à l'éditeur Midway, et serait normalement disponible en juin 2006 pour l'Amérique du Nord. Cependant, aucune date n'a encore été annoncée pour l'Europe.
