Britsoft publisher 505 Games has today confirmed that it's to bring the previously announced Xbox 360 version of Gas Powered Games' en masse RTS Supreme Commander to Europe.
The game, which launched on PC in early 2007 with THQ, is the spiritual successor to designer Chris Taylor's Total Annihilation, lauded amongst the RTS fanbase since it landed in 1997. GPG and the Vancouver-based Hellbent Games are currently handling Supreme Commander's Xbox 360 iteration.
"We're thrilled to be bringing Supreme Commander to market in Europe" said Ian Howe, Managing Director of 505 Games. "It's a product of exceptional quality with a fantastic pedigree, we are delighted to be working with Aspyr, Hellbent and Gas Powered Games, and look forward to great success for the title in Europe."
"Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games have an incredible talent for producing great games, and judging by the amazing reviews, Supreme Commander is no exception," said Ted Staloch, Executive Vice President, Publishing for Aspyr. "The RTS genre reaches new levels of excitement on consoles with each new release. Hellbent Games, Gas Powered Games, 505 Games and Aspyr have combined forces to produce an Xbox 360 title that will ensure retail success to match the critical praise."
"We believe that we've raised the bar for RTS gaming on the PC and now, co-developing with Hellbent Games, we know that we can do the same on consoles" said Chris Taylor, CEO and Creative Director of Gas Powered Games and Lead Designer of Supreme Commander. "Hellbent brings a talented, veteran team together to deliver Supreme Commander to the Xbox 360 platform."
Supreme Commander on Xbox 360 is scheduled to launch across Europe and North America later in 2008.
