Square Enix has just announced the release date of its upcoming gaming title, Supreme Commander 2, where it will hit the PC DVD format next March 2, 2010, while folks who are rocking it out on the Xbox 360 will have to wait for an additional fortnight with the title being released on March 16, 2010. Supreme Commander 2 is the sequel to the award-winning Supreme Commander franchise which is set a quarter of a century in the future, boasting a variety of game enhancements to keep things fresh despite being familiar, an in-depth campaign mode, online multiplayer and a unique storyline to bring gamers a new dimension in RTS gaming.

Boasting intense battles on a massive scale, players will wage war, creating enormous customizable armies and experimental war machines that can change the balance of power at any given moment. Assume the role of one of the three enigmatic commanders, each representing a unique faction with a rich story that brings a new level of emotional connection to the RTS genre. Set 25 years after the end of the Infinite War, SUPREME COMMANDER 2 starts with the galaxy reeling from the recent assassination of the newly elected president of the fragile Colonial Defense Coalition. The members of the Coalition – the United Earth Federation, The Illuminate and the Cybran Nation -blame each other, and the early rumbles of war can be heard throughout the galaxy.

According to John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix, Inc., “Supreme Commander 2 is a shining example of our strategic partnership with Gas Powered Games. Square Enix’s expertise in character development and storytelling, combined with the real-time strategy experience of the creative talent at Gas Powered Games, promises to deliver a feature-rich product that we hope gamers from around the globe will enjoy.”
