Apparently playing too much Shinobi around the office, Sega has decided to sneak up on the Internet with beta sign-ups for their upcoming RTS, Universe at War: Earth Assault. For the lucky who will be chosen, the beta begins on August 15, a few months before the game ships. The game will also be released on the Xbox 360 early next year (including cross-platform play), but this beta is PC only … suckers!
I had a chance to sit down and watch a demo of this Universe at War at E3, and its shaping up nicely. I mean, any RTS that has a race that uses everything from humans and cars as a resource is tops in my book. But definitely check it out for yourself, help Sega and Petroglyph Games (the title’s developer) balance the combat, and do some good for a change. Seriously.
Thanks to Chris Ainsworth from Petroglyph for the heads up!
