Square Enix confirms a spring release for the sequel to Chris Taylor's critically acclaimed Supreme Commander...

Sqaure Enix has announced that the long-awaited sequel to 2007's Supreme Commander will be available next spring, when the series will return its PC spawning grounds while launching simultaneously on the Xbox 360.

Set 25 years after the events of the original Supreme Commander's Infinite War, Supreme Commander 2 kicks-off after the President of the Colonial Defense Coalition is assassinated, which brings the United Earth Federation, Cyber Nation, and The Illuminate factions into direct conflict.

"The partnership with Square Enix has been a highlight of my career," said Chris Taylor, Founder and Creative Director of Gas Powered Games. "I couldn't be more proud of what the team has accomplished, as the game has continually exceeded all of my expectations throughout its development."

Ever since Total Annihilation, Chris Taylor's RTS calling card has been his Strategic Zoom interface, which allows gamers to pan out of battle to stratospheric heights and organise units from a macro perspective. Fans of Taylor's work will be happy to know that the interface will return in Supreme Commander 2 alongside a wide range of customisable units.

Too true. Also, looks like a platoon of Darth Vaders on this board. Freaky...

True, but the only way to play a decent RTS is on a PC =)

2 March 2010 according to Steam. We've had the luxury of getting the preview code in recently, we're really looking forward to the final version. I'll leave the rest to SegaBoy =)

Just "spring" at the moment. No specific date yet.

Probably the best feature of Sup Com 2 will likely be the customisation of units, where you can upgrade all units on the battlefield of a certain type so they don't become obsolete. Too often in TA/Sup Com and some other RTS games, cheap units that are built at the start of the game become useless nearer the end of a game, but being able to upgrade them throughout the game makes things much more interesting.
