Saw this because Ken Levine RT a Jullian Gollop message on Twitter. We knew Jullian Gollop was working in a new game. He has just announced the name and the project:
"Chaos Reborn is a new strategy game by Julian Gollop, designer of the original, award winning 'X-COM: UFO Defense', one of the most highly rated PC games of all time. It will be available for Windows, Linux and Mac."
"Welcome to the new Chaos Reborn website. Here, you will be able to follow the latest game development news and participate in discussions on our forums. 2014 will be a very important year for Chaos Reborn because we will be launching our Kickstarter campaign and then stepping up a few gears on development to get the game to you as soon as we can. We already have a working, multiplayer prototype with 33 spells implemented. The team based 2 vs 2 mode is really excellent, and we have had many epic battles with it. But there is a lot more to come. I am particularly excited by the 'Realms of Chaos' single-player mode, because it will add a whole new dimension to the Chaos Reborn experience. Who would have thought a modest little ZX Spectrum game made 30 years ago would be brought to life again in such a dramatic way? I hope you will share our journey to see it to fruition.
Julian Gollop"
"Chaos Reborn features 80 spells, 24 of which are creature summoning spells, such as the stubborn Dwarf or the Chaotic Manticore. Look out for creature features coming soon."
I will update as soon as they launch their Kickstarter campaign in February.
UPDATE: The Kickstarter campaign has been launched:
