Game News - Genesis Rising Trailer, Date, Open Beta

   Every time I talk about Metamorf Studios' Genesis Rising space game, I end up making a reference to Relic's good old Homeworld series. So I figured this time I'd do it from head start, and then get straight to the point. As you may know, Genesis Rising: The Universal Crusade has been in beta testing for a while, although not everyone was allowed in. Fortunately, that's not the case anymore, as DreamCatcher sent out word that the game's multiplayer beta test is no longer restricted to paid FilePlanet subscribers. As long as you have even a free FilePlanet account, you can now join in on the fun by signing up on their promotional page.

   This, of course, is a clear indication that the game is coming along nicely enough, and that the final version shouldn't take too long to launch. Maybe another couple of months - if we're to trust this first Genesis Rising trailer, ending with a note that the game's release date is set for March 2007. It sure looks great in that clip, and if you'd like to know whether it also plays that great, why not try out the multiplayer beta?

   Story wise, Genesis Rising is predictably set in a distant future, when the human race has come to brutally dominate the Universe, by the use of "organids" - genetically engineered, organic ships that can adapt themselves to the strategies employed by the enemy. There is but one zone of space that is yet to be conquered (or even fully understood), and that is the so called Universal Heart, said to be the home of an enigmatic entity, from which all life and matter originated. Are you ready to meet your creator? Because, most obviously, that's where the powers that be in Genesis Rising will be sending you and your fleet.
