American Conquest site opens

CDV Software has launched a new official Web site for American Conquest, its upcoming real-time strategy game in development at GSC Game World. The new site contains an overview of the game's story and features, along with answers to frequently asked questions, a gallery of screenshots, and a downloadable wallpaper image.

American Conquest will let players control one of 12 different nations in the Americas through more than 300 years of armed conflict from 1492 to 1813. It will include four different campaigns--the American War of Independence, the Seven Years' War, the War of Tecumseh, and Pizarro's Expedition--as well as six historical simulations and 12 separate single-player missions. The game is scheduled for release in the first half of 2003. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the game and visit the game's new official Web site.
