From today, at 9AM GMT (2AM PDT), you can play Introversion Software’s Darwinia+ on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360. Darwinia+ will be available worldwide for 1200 Microsoft Points (that’s US$15 / €14.40 / £10.20 / CAN$18.60 / AU$19.80).

Over thousands of generations the peaceful Darwinians have been evolving in a beautiful digital world, but now their whole way of life is under threat from a devastating computer virus that has infected their world and decimated their numbers. Without your protection they don’t stand a chance, and it’s up to you to lead them into battle to recapture their lost world in Darwinia+! Once you’ve proven your command ability, take your Darwinian army online and challenge your friends to strategic combat, as tribes of Darwinians slaughter one another in a desperate struggle for supremacy.

Game features include:

Single-player and multiplayer: Play the single-player story driven campaign over 10 beautiful locations, or try multiplayer featuring five action packed game modes and over 49 unique maps.

Great gameplay: Relive the halycon days of gaming when gameplay triumphed, with the game’s unique combination of fast-paced action and strategic battle planning.

Intense graphics: Spectacular attention-grabbing graphics engage you with their iconic retro-arcade look-and-feel.

Unique background story: Enter the beautiful virtual world of Darwinia and save the Darwinians from an evil computer virus, or challenge your friends online where tribes of Darwinians fight in a bitter civil war.
