The game seems to be inspired by the sci-fi RTS classic Homeworld. Despite this would have been long awaited news to many, Paradox and CreativeForge have kept a tight lid on its production announcing the game after Gamescom and less than a month before the official release date: September 23, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the announcement trailer below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qbjCgwDkLKM\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"368\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The game\u2019s focus is on tactical space combat and exploration of a region of space known as \u2018The Dark Zone\u2019. The game focuses on the story of the player leading the scientific expedition to discover the secrets of this region. The interesting thing to note is the focus on a mission based single-player\u00a0campaign, since lately RTS games have been more multiplayer focused. The game will feature recognised sci-fi voice actors and from the videos, screenshots, and minimum system specs required the game has high production values.<\/p>\n<p>The player will command his fleet through various missions in full 3D space, while being able to level-up his officers which you choose for each mission and upgrading your fleet as you progress through the story. The game doesn&#8217;t seem to have any multiplayer or even some sort of AI skirmish mode, meaning the campaign is the main and only course. This might disappoint some modern RTS fans, but\u00a0is a breath of fresh air for those that do enjoy single-player campaign strategy games. Fortunately, the game seems to be fairly priced for what it offers.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the campaign will live up to the expectations and for those that are still curious about the game can watch the gameplay video with the input from the developers:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JkoBERrqBUQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"368\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some additional images courtesy of the <a  title=\"Official Site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ancientspacegame.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/p>\n<p><em><a  title=\"Official Website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ancientspacegame.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ancient Space<\/a> will be available on <a  title=\"Steam Store\" href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/249190\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steam<\/a> for release and can be pre-ordered\u00a0at the <a  title=\"Paradox Store\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paradoxplaza.com\/ancient-space?___store=world\" target=\"_blank\">Paradox Store<\/a> for $17.99 (full price $19.99).
