Yesterday Sega released Petroglyph’s RTS game Universe at War: Earth Assault for PC, and an Xbox 360 version is coming on February 26th, 2008. PC players, playing the game on Windows Vista, will be able to battle in online multiplayer with their counterparts playing the game on Xbox 360. Including in a persistent style “Conquer the World” mode across both formats.
Universe at War: Earth Assault is set in the near-future when multiple factions from across the galaxy have come to Earth to wage epic warfare. Deadly sci-fi weapons and alien powers allow players to destroy cities and other territory while fighting for Earth. The game also allows players to retrain and customize units in the midst of battle, modify their weapons and defenses in real-time, and even control the development of technology that will help them to victory.

Why should RTS fans be noticing this game? Because Petroglyph team members have worked on the original Command and Conquer, Command and Conquer: Red Alert, and Star Wars: Empire at War.
