We have started work on giving the Universal Combat CE v2.0 game a much needed makeover. It’s going to be epic and massive. So the Lyrius Conflict DLC is now live for purchase on Steam.

For a limited time only, it is available via Steam Early Access at a discount of $29.99

As with our upcoming Line Of Defense game, we will be making regular updates right through to the final release around the end of this year. Then depending on the number of sales, feedback etc, we will decide what form the second, third and future DLC will take.

And so once more into the breach.

Due to the resurgence of space combat games, we’ve decided to do a remake of our long running popular Universal Combat game which was spawned from the original Battlecruiser series.

Yes, the ultimate all-encompassing capital ship combat simulation which gives you micro-management control of massive ships, their crew, support craft etc, in space and on vast planets, is getting a remake.

It is going to be a true remake which retains all the features of the predecessor (the Collectors Edition v2.0) in a major graphics engine overhaul.

More news and a dedicated website coming soon. In the meantime, keep up with the news on the game’s Twitter and Facebook pages.

We have received final approval from Microsoft for a version of Line Of Defense Tactics for the Xbox One console via the ID@Xbox program.

Work is expected to commence on this version in January and we expect to release the title in the first part of 2015.

Pricing details and more information coming soon!

The game has now been released on Steam Early Access. More info on the official website.
