Is there any small publisher with as much street cred right now as Stardock? Galactic Civilizations & Sins of a Solar Empire had some of the best word-of-mouth marketing I've seen in a long time, and their Gamer's Bill of Rights has resonated with gamers quite a bit too. But will that warm fuzzy glow translate into sales for the title they officially announce today: Elemental: War of Magic.

Rather than another jaunt to outerspace, this time we head to a realm of swords and sorcery. Still a 4X game (eXpand, eXplore, eXploit & eXterminate, so why not call it a 4E game?) you play as the lone person able to wield magical shards left over from the last magical cataclysm. In addition to the expected multiplayer modes, the game will also feature a full single player campaign and boast robust modding tools. A public beta is planned for Q2 2009

Elemental: War of Magic is set for release in February 2010.

I'm intrigued. I love 4x games and had a lot of fun with Sins, so this is definitely going to stay on my radar.

I'm excited, but Feb of 2010? A lot can and will happen between now and then. What will screenies look like then?

That's the year we make contact.

I wish they hadn't announced this so early, but I'll be looking forward to it nonetheless.

Something needs to fill the void left behind by the lack of a third Age of Wonders. :(

Can Stardock pick up the property for and create Master of Magic 2? Would that be asking too much?

Usually not a fan of this type of game (looks wise), but I kind of dig it.

Awesome. I will do whatever Brad needs from gamers to support this.

That is what I was about to post. Master of Magic needs to come back from the grave.
