before being cancelled (

title Nexus. Here's the deal:
Just when it looked like the game formerly
known as 'Imperium Galactica 3' would be lost in space, it is now back on track
as one of the most eagerly awaited hits of 2004 thanks to a worldwide rights
deal announced by Benelux's leading independent publisher HD Interactive of
Amsterdam. Earliest views of the game have inspired such descriptions as
'visceral, futuristic and captivating' and 'absolutely gorgeous', and now the
real-time mission-based tactical space game for PC has not only found a new
publishing home with HD Interactive, but also a new focus with the title:
'Nexus'.
Under development in Budapest by Mithis Games, Nexus is heading for a worldwide
release in September 2004. "Nexus is a true gamers' game," said Mike
Klumper, MD of HD Interactive. "I was amazed by what I saw of the early
code of Nexus. I was blown away by it and we are extremely proud to add this
beautiful title to our portfolio. Now it has joined our line-up, Nexus will
receive the full attention it richly deserves. By working closely with Mithis, a
talented and experienced developer, and giving total focus to the product, we
will ensure that Nexus realises its maximum potential in each and every
territory." Robert Sugar, CEO of Mithis, said, "Everybody at Mithis is
extremely excited about this deal. With HD Interactive's focus, Nexus is in very
good hands. "
