Strategy Informer, and here's word: Toronto, Canada – May 27, 2008 –
In honor of the recent launch of their critically acclaimed 4X space strategy
game Sword of the Stars: Collector’s Edition, leading Publisher Lighthouse
Interactive and accomplished developer Kerberos Productions, released a new demo
today. This demo was taken from the gold master code, which is the very latest
version of the game, and is representative of the Sword of the Stars universe as
it is now.
Sword of the Stars: Collector’s Edition began shipping to retailers across the
United States and Canada earlier this month. The Collector’s Edition brings the
entire Sword of the Stars universe together by including the official add-on
Born of Blood, which has never been released to retail in North America. It is
packed with exclusive bonus material, further upgrades, and a 150+ page Sword of
the Stars paperback novel entitled, The Deacon’s Tale, penned by renowned
science fiction author Arinn Dembo.
Chris Stewart, Producer at Kerberos Productions said, "The entire Kerberos team
is fired up about the release of the Collector’s Edition because fans of Sword
of the Stars will now have a chance to play the long awaited expansion Born of
Blood. For newcomers, we’ve created a comprehensive tutorial video pack to ease
player into the Sword of the Stars universe. The demo is based on version 1.5.2
– the most awesomest version – of the game, and covers gameplay leading up to
the Cruiser/Fusion era, two wicked maps, and multiplayer action for up to three
players. Our goal is to whet the appetites of strategy game fans that have yet
to enter the vast world of Sword of the Stars.”
