Ubisoft reveals plans for Project Dust, the codename for an upcoming game being designed by Eric Chahi (Another World, aka Out of This World), described as a "spiritual heir" to Populous, the Peter Molyneux-designed classic that put the players in the role of a god (or at least a really powerful landscape architect). The game is intended for release during the spring of next year as a downloadable title for Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The news is accompanied by some concept art, the E3 Trailer from the game, and an internal Q&A talking with Eric Chahi about what he's been up to since the release of Heart of Darkness, and what to expect from this game, where he says: "Project Dust is the spiritual heir to Populous. The game is set in an extreme version of Planet Earth where nature unleashes her power in a much more violent way than what we are used to. Tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, volcanic eruptions are what the days are made of for the people of Dust. In this kind of God game, users will play with powers to manipulate the world around them. Ground, water, lava, fire, plants and trees -model the world like a child playing sand castles on the beach. With such powers, players will help their people resist, expand and migrate so they can accomplish their quest to find a safe place." The embedded version of the E3 trailer follows.
