\"Star<\/p>\n

Stardock has just announced that it has secured the rights to the Star Control franchise with the intent\u00a0to develop a new Star Control game. Development should start still this year with a release date to be determined at a later time. Stardock was the highest bidder<\/a> for the Star Control franchise in a recent Atari bankruptcy filling auction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect the new Star Control to come in the form of a reboot, similar to what Firaxis did with the XCOM series last year. We are looking at Star Control II as a major source of inspiration.\u201d -Brad Wardell, president and CEO of Stardock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Released in 1990 for several different platforms, Star Control<\/a> is a classic space action-strategy game by Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III, known as Toys for Bob. They were also behind Star Control 2 in 1992, a sequel that introduced more adventure, shooter and story-driven elements. Star Control 3 was released in 1996 but was not developed by the original developers but by\u00a0Legend Entertainment.<\/p>\n

I requested more details about this announcement from Stardock but the reply is that this is all they have for now. So, they will start developing a new Star Control game (a reboot) still this year, but more details will only be known in the coming weeks or later in the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
