Haegemonia site launched

Cryo Interactive has opened a new Web site for Haegemonia, its upcoming space combat strategy game. The new site contains a general overview of the game's background story and gameplay features, along with a small gallery of screenshots.

Haegemonia is set in a time when the populations of Earth and Mars are threatened by an invading alien force. The real-time strategy game features four different races and more than 40 different types of spaceships. Players will have to manage their fleet of ships, terraform and colonize planets, manage their resources, and research or steal new technology. The game is built on an advanced 3D engine, and it includes two different single-player campaigns, as well as cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes for up to eight players over Internet or LAN connections.

Haegemonia is being developed at Digital Reality, the Hungarian studio that created Imperium Galactica and Imperium Galactica II. The game is scheduled for release in May. We've posted some screenshots from the game in the gallery above. For more information, visit the new official Web site.
