Publisher Iceberg Interactive announces they will publish Lord of Rigel in Q4 of this year, offering a 4X space strategy game with real-time combat that developer Rhombus Studios crowdfunded last year, saying they drew some inspiration from Master of Orion. The Lord of Rigel website is live, and offers this trailer introducing the story. Here's word:

Lord of Rigel is set in a galaxy locked in a pan-galactic cold war. Choose between warring elder races, forge your own coalition, or go it alone. Navigate galactic council politics and defeat gigantic menaces, while utilizing espionage, research, and military might to shape the galaxy your way.

James and Adam Rorabaugh Co-Founders of Rhombus Studios say: “Rhombus Studios is excited to have secured a future for Lord of Rigel by partnering with Iceberg Interactive. They are the ideal publisher for Lord of Rigel, because they understand how small studios work and have a deep understanding and love of strategy games. Our core gameplay and immersive universe combined with Iceberg's industry experience and keen eye for detail will take Lord of Rigel to the next level and create a franchise that players can enjoy for many years to come.”
