Game News - Next Supreme Commander Chapter Forged For November

   One of the four internal projects currently in development at Gas Powered Games, and also the most highly predicted one, was revealed today by publisher THQ. It's titled Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, bearing a satisfyingly close release date set for November 2007. However, the announcement does not contain any of the usual keywords - "sequel", "expansion" or "add-on" - simply calling it "the next chapter" in Chris Taylor's latest RTS franchise.

   The fact that we're in fact dealing with an expansion pack becomes apparent a few phrases down the line, where it's stated that Forged Alliance will be "a standalone title offering full compatibility with the original game, and enabling all-new strategic options". Chris Taylor further clarifies the title's status and additional content:
"Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is not only the continuation of the epic story that is unfolding inside the game's universe, it is the continuation of our goal to move the bar for RTS gaming even higher than ever", says Chris Taylor, CEO of Gas Powered Games. "Forged Alliance offers over 100 new units, more maps and an entirely new faction... we are stuffing this game with all kinds of new features!"    Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance continues the epic story following the Infinite War, featuring an all-new single-player campaign, a new faction and a myriad of innovative multiplayer features. More than one hundred new units will give players access to cutting-edge strategic options, including fully realized navies, orbital weaponry and advanced counter intelligence technologies.

   Now, let there be screenshots! And trailers, if it's not asking too much.
