Square Enix, Inc. and Gas Powered Games Announce Strategic Partnership
12/11/2008 - 11:48
LONDON, November 12 /PRNewswire/ --
- Development Begins on Real-Time Strategy Game Supreme Commander 2
Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix(R) interactive
entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories (Square Enix),
today announces that Square Enix, Inc., a U.S. sister company headquartered
in Los Angeles, California, and development house Gas Powered Games Corp., a
U.S. company headquartered in Redmond, Washington (Gas Powered Games) have
formed a strategic partnership. With the commencement of this strategic
partnership, development has begun on Supreme Commander(R) 2, a sequel to the
award-winning real-time strategy series.
This strategic partnership represents one of the first steps
Square Enix Co., Ltd., a sister company of Square Enix headquartered in
Tokyo, Japan, and its affiliates (collectively, Square Enix Group) are taking
towards their goal of increasing western development efforts aimed for the
global markets. Square Enix Group has previously worked exclusively with
Japanese development companies, so the decision to form strategic
partnerships with developers located outside of Japan serves as a new
cornerstone of its strategy to create games targeted primarily at consumers
in Europe and North America. Additionally, Square Enix Group's foray into the
real-time strategy genre is a significant expansion of its product lineup,
largely known for its leadership role in the genre of role-playing games.
"We see great opportunities in European and North American
markets, both of which are expected to be maintaining sustainable growth over
these coming years," said Yoichi Wada, president and representative director
of Square Enix Co., Ltd. "Therefore, it is crucial we create alliances with
proven developers such as Gas Powered Games in order to serve these
significant markets better by providing products and services in tune with
customer tastes."
"Gas Powered Games is an accomplished development house that
has demonstrated its ability to successfully create and develop intellectual
properties," said John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of
Square Enix Ltd. and Square Enix, Inc.. "We are extremely excited to begin
working with Gas Powered Games' talented personnel and see this strategic
partnership as a significant step in our efforts to bring Square Enix titles
to a broader global audience."
Creator of hit titles such as Dungeon Siege(R), and Supreme
Commander, Gas Powered Games(R) was founded in 1998 by one of the game
industry's most imaginative and dynamic visionaries Chris Taylor, who serves
as chief executive officer. "It is truly a great honour to join forces with
as renowned a developer and publisher as Square Enix, Inc." said Taylor:
"Everyone at Gas Powered Games is thrilled about this collaboration, and the
results will surely delight video game fans around the world."
Details on Supreme Commander 2 including gameplay features, platform(s)
and release date will be available at a later time.

YABBA-DABBA-DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! YEEEEHAW! HOOOORAAAAAAAAAAY! CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need I go on?
-CanadianBorg
P.S. Resistance is futile, eh?
to bad christmas is going to be in proly 1 1/2 yrs  (when it comes out) well now we have 2 cool games coming out around the same time sc2 and sc2 (thats starcraft and supcom) 
awsome hopefullly ill have a better pc by then
Oh no, Square Enix!?!
wow thats a leap i would have though they would have made another expantion making QAI as a new race. i never even though there would be a supreme commander 2
*drops dead*
whoooooooo! supcom2 =D i hope they put in something you can design your own ACU per account ^^!
I just Hope they dont make SupCom2 with just abunch of new units......its kinda hard to think what else could be dun to such a great game that alrdy had a ***** load of units and cool feature's..perhaps the ability to control a single unit on the battlefield..that'd be a cool feature! or instead of just havin a large area to zoom in and out but have the map as the actual planet...oh that'd be sweet send sum units to invade iraq while sending other to invade america ect ect. also infantry would'nt be such a bad idea either? also the ability to toggle between land/sea/air base battle to space bound battles.....
Anyway.................................WOOT SUPCOM2.........
Am happy that thery are making another Sup Com but this time not too long build times this time I hope.
No, the build times is what makes it epic!!!
Anyway, I'd prefer them to keep expanding on SupCom with expansions rather than make a sequel. Sequels tend to make the originals become left out and I don't want that to happen to my beloved game. Expansions certainly can bring engine and extreme gameplay changes. No need to make a sequel and send the original out to pasture...
I still play Total Annihilation! I use most of the top notch units ever created by the fans and the conflict crusher fine tuned it further!
