Ancient Space Sounds a Lot Like Homeworld

Paradox Interactive and CreativeForge Games have announced a new real-time strategy game set in space. Titled Ancient Space, the game is now available for pre-order on Steam and is set for release on September 23, 2014 for the PC and Mac. 

Players will command a fleet to the outer reaches of deep space on a quest to discover what lies inside “The Black Zone,” as the game takes players on an adventure that combines what the developers call a compelling storyline with classic real-time strategy elements in a full  3D environment. Players will have to come up with strategies that use the x, y, and z axes as they progress through the campaign and upgrade their fleet of ships. 

Having written it out, I’ll have to admit that it sounds a lot like Homeworld—and that’s a great thing, in my book. We’ll just have to see how the game holds up upon its release.

Players of the game will be joined by a cast of characters voiced by recognizable actors from popular science-fiction TV shows including Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, and more. 

It’s worth checking Ancient Space out in this newly released trailer.
