Bandai Namco has announced a brand new game set in the MOBA genre called Supernova. This sci-fi themed game is designed as a free-to-play title that pits players against each other in a battle for dominance.
Supernova shakes up the MOBA formula by adding real-time strategy (RTS) elements and promises an exciting sci-fi setting for players to invest their time into. It basically marries StarCraft with DOTA.
Here's some backstory, from the press release they sent us:
"In Supernova the universe is the battle arena, and players must battle as humans or aliens for their race’s right to exist. Commanders from across the galaxy pit themselves against each other to save their race from extinction — only the strongest commanders can save their species from interstellar annihilation. Players choose from a wide variety of commanders to control, such as giant robots, cyborgs, or interstellar races adapted to the unyielding harshness of space.
"Atop this creative foundation, Supernova, allows lane minions to be upgraded in ways familiar to any RTS player providing an additional element of strategy to this truly unique MOBA. Infantry, mechanized land and air units provide a rock-paper-scissors triad to push the lane with depth only possible in Supernova."
