"Spiritual Successor" to Total Annihilation Next Year - 17.6.05

PC Gamer Supreme CommanderThe August issue of PC Gamer will feature a special about Supreme Commander, the new game from TA creator Chris Taylor's Gas Powered Games.

Scans of the magazine cover show an image from the game, and the splurge "Total Annihilation Reborn! - The creator of Total Annihilation returns to re-invent the genre once again".

According to the article, the game is a year into development, though Chris Taylor is careful not to attach the Total Annihilation name to it because the property is now owned by Atari.

As such, Supreme Commander will be a new intellectual property for Gas Powered, and Taylor's first RTS game since 1997. It's being published by THQ, and is due for release on the PC next year:

Supreme Commander will sport bigger, badder robots and a cool overview tactical map. It sounds like the map will play a pretty big role in the game, according to one of my teethy moles.

In (the map), you’ll plan your empire and the outcome of the war, at the same time as directing the smaller skirmishes… with robots. It’s really big on robots.
