Stardock announces Ashes of the Singularity, an upcoming real-time strategy game, which will be the first game using Oxide Games' Nitrous Engine, which was announced in late 2013. "In Ashes of the Singularity, players can take command of the forces of either the post-humans or those of Haalee," said Brad Wardell, president & CEO of Stardock. "This is a galaxy-wide struggle in which each 'battle' wages across the surface of an entire planet. The scope of the conflict is unlike anything players have seen before." The Ashes of the Singularity website offers images and details, as well as sales of a founder's edition, which includes access to a friends and family beta, among other things, as well as a Founder's Lifetime Edition which include all future content for those who are willing to spring USD$99.99 based on the announcement and screenshots. That price has an asterisk, but there is no associated footnote to explain what sort of catch it involves.
