Stardock keeps 4X strategy gamers' hearts aflutter with word that it's trying to get the rights to
Star Control or
Master of Orion. Of course, if the publisher can't get them, like what happened with its recent attempt for the
Master of Magic rights, Stardock can always just circumvent and make its own franchise -- thus,
Elemental: War of Magic was born.
Stardock CEO Brad Wardell tells
Gamasutra that the company would base its
SC or
MoO sequel off the second games in the respective franchises and not the poorly received third iterations. Wardell also confirms that Stardock is currently building a second full internal development team. Given the company's
release strategy, whatever game it decides to do, we won't see it until 2011 or beyond.
