Universe at War is set in the near future and deals with alien invasion of Earth, Petroglyph promising huge depth and customisations in the RTS experience. New screenshots have been released.
Speaking about the storyline previously, the developer's Adam Isgreen has explained that mankind has encountered an aggressive alien species bent on invasion of Earth and that ""The invaders are not here to conquer - they're here to harvest."
"Massive walking machines consume plant, animal and mineral without distinction. Press gang-like hordes of invading ground troops herd humans into enormous mass drivers, launching them up to the invader's ships that orbit the planet, never to be seen again. Our game begins on the eve of the last day of human resistance... Or is it?"
Universe at War is in development for PC and Xbox 360 and features cross-platform online play.
