Stardock plans to announce a new fantasy-themed strategy game today, according to an exclusive report on GamesBeat where they note that the prior attempt to create such a game almost destroyed the company, as 2010's Elemental: War of Magic was a self-described failure that shook the company to its foundation before being reworked into a viable product. Paving the way for the new game's announcement, the article takes a look at the aftermath of the game's failure, and how it steeled the company to succeed going forward. "Elemental was the fire that burned Stardock down so we could fly," brand manager Adam Biessener explains. "… like a beautiful bird. Our games are much better, honestly."
