There's a new video on the YouTube with footage from a beta version of Naumachia: Space Warfare, an upcoming online space combat game that was unveiled at the Italian Videogame Developers Conference, according to Rock, Paper, Shotgun (there is also an earlier YouTube clip with alpha footage). The game is under development at Italian indie developer AureaSection, and their website offers a FAQ answering some questions about the game:

Q: Is there a release date set?
A: We are trying for a 2009 release.

Q: Is Naumachia a MMO?
A: No, the game is session based, you join/host a battle, you play, you disconnect. Some statistics will be saved but they wont affect the gameplay.

Q: Is Naumachia free?
A: Although the game will be free to download and play, to enjoy all its features you will have to buy a (cheap) license.

Q: What about the singleplayer?
A: At the moment we are focusing on the multiplayer but a single player campaign expansion is already on our wish list.
