New Title Chronometer In The Works At Introversion

9:20AM Leigh Alexander | Over at Introversion Software’s blog, the developer of Defcon and Darwinia has revealed it’s at work on its sixth game, Chronometer, with funding from the UK’s Channel 4. It’s unclear what the fate of the game, currently in pre-production, will be; said Introversion’s Chris Delay: Ultimately we don’t know for certain if Chronometer will be going into full production – the conditions would have to be right for Introversion and for Channel 4, although they’ve been fantastic to work with during pre-production. We’re pretty much finished with this phase of Chronometer for now, and we’ll keep you updated about this interesting sixth game project as decisions are made. The team is currently preparing for the launch of Multiwinia (shown), a multiplayer version of strategy title Darwinia, for PC. Chronometer [Introversion blog] More »

First Look At Multiplayer Darwinia

9:30PM Luke Plunkett | Though it’s been public knowledge for a while now, nobody has really seen or heard much about Multiwinia, the upcoming multiplayer edition of Introversion’s brilliant strategy title Darwinia. Have now! RPS’ Kieron Gillen has had a sit-down with the game, which can be best summed up with “It’s an RTS cut back to its core essentials – you can file it next to World in Conflict, but even pacier”. Works for me. Those interested in seeing how exactly the whole thing works – and how it looks – pop on over the Rock, Paper, Shotgun. RPS Exclusive: Multiwinia Hands-on [RPS] More »

You’ll get two games for the price of one: Darwinia, and the multiplayer Multiwinia: Survival of the Flattest will be bundled together, and while at the moment that’s all Introversion are saying, quite frankly at the moment that’s all we need to be hearing.

Darwinia Coming To Xbox 360

9:40AM Michael McWhertor | The latest batch of ESRB ratings shows that Introversion Software’s “digital dreamscape” Darwinia is planned for an Xbox 360 release, most likely via Xbox Live Arcade. The virtual themepark of Darwinia is a bit hard to nail down to one genre, as it features real-time strategy gameplay with action and puzzle elements all nestled within an abstract design. For anyone interested in this possible future release, demos are available online via the official site or Valve’s Steam service. It’s nothing if not interesting. ESRB Software Ratings More »
