The Rebel Galaxy website now announces Rebel Galaxy, a "swashbuckling space adventure" coming to Windows and a console or two next year from Double Damage Games, the startup from Runic Games (Torchlight) cofounders Travis Baldree and Erich Schaefer, who also have Diablo I & II and Hellgate: London on their resumes. Here's the announcement trailer and word:

Rebel Galaxy is a swashbuckling space adventure, with action-packed combat, exploration, discovery, trade, and “negotiation” with the outlandish denizens at the edge of the known universe.

As the commander of an immensely powerful star destroyer, you’ll battle pirates, explore anomalies, befriend aliens, scavenge battle wreckage, mine asteroids, and discover artifacts. Choose your path as a roguish do-gooder, crafty space-trader or power-hungry privateer – or maybe a little of each! Buy larger and more powerful craft with your hard-earned credits, and outfit them with a variety of wicked weapons and defenses. Set in a galaxy of fantastic sights, and secrets to be found, Rebel Galaxy is above all a space epic of adventure, exploration, and combat.

The edge of the universe is a pretty dangerous place, so watch your back.

Coming to Steam, PS4 and (maybe) XBox One in 2015.
