Westwood Studios Announces Emperor: Battle for Dune
Westwood Studios(tm) announced its first fully 3D-accelerated real-time strategy game, Emperor: Battle for Dune.
Description
The story that drives Emperor starts with the disappearance of the galaxy’s ruler. His throne is up for grabs and players can choose to control any of three unique sides in their bid to control the empire: the noble Atreides, the evil Harkonnen, or the insidious Ordos. Each is equipped with vast armies and exotic weapons, but the battleground and keystone to victory is the planet Dune. The side that wins Dune will control spice production and take the throne. Players will also wage war on four other planets, including the green, pastoral world of Caladan, the polluted wasteland of Geidi Prime and the icy orb of Draconis IV.
