Earth 2160 U.S. Box Art and New Screenshots
Now Available
Earth 2160 is scheduled to be available
November 8 for the PC.
Midway today released the new U.S. box art for
EARTH 2160, the highly anticipated sequel in the top-selling and
critically-acclaimed EARTH series of real-time strategy (RTS) titles.
Developed by Reality Pump, EARTH 2160 sees
conflict arise as the remnants of the Eurasian Dynasty, Lunar Corporation and
United Civilized States terraform Mars following Earth’s destruction. As the
civilizations independently rebuild, a group of imprisoned alien renegades is
awakened from suspended animation. The groups must either battle it out or band
together as they try and survive the new alien threat.
In addition to standard RTS features such as
resource acquisition, base building and destruction of enemy bases, EARTH 2160’s
modular construction allows players to customize buildings and units. The title
also allows for detailed customization of vehicles. EARTH 2160 takes advantage
of the latest cutting-edge pixel and vertex shaders, giving the game a look and
feel that is well ahead of other RTS titles running on more traditional graphics
engines.
