Summary

  • Stardock and Oxide Games have developed a sequel to the popular sci-fi real-time strategy game, “Ashes of the Singularity”.
  • The original game was criticised for lacking originality and there being nothing to differentiate it from existing games on the market.
  • Its sequel aims to address this by featuring humans fighting alongside robots and post-humans, with battles taking place across continents comprising thousands of units.
  • The game is set to be released in 2026, a decade after the first game, and its narrative also takes place a decade after the original too.
  • The game will have a significantly expanded development team and will feature co-operative and competitive multiplayer and a skirmish mode.
  • It is being marketed as a game that rewards players for understanding the importance of strategic planning, including logistics and terrain.
