“I couldn’t be happier about O.R.B making its retail debut,” says Don McFatridge, President of Strategy First Inc. “The development team has worked extremely hard to make O.R.B the game it is. I am very proud of what they have accomplished.”

O.R.B is a visually stunning 3D Real-Time strategy game that pits the forces of two races against each other in a desperate struggle to control the resources they need to expand their empires. O.R.B stands for Off-World Resource Base and what happens in the ”Off-World” is the stuff that dreams or nightmares are made of. Within the multiple systems are the precious resources that both planets desperately need to thrive. The stage has been set for a battle to control the solar system. While the two races play a deadly game of hide and seek in the asteroid belt, they are unaware of a predatory alien menace that threatens the entire solar system.

O.R.B features:

• Unparalleled 3D real-time strategic gaming action with full freedom of movement in space
• Two fully developed races with their own single-player campaign and unique strategies
• One-of-a-kind dynamic universe depicting multiple solar systems alive with planets, moons, asteroid belts, complex orbits, persistent debris and extraordinary spatial environments
• Epic fleet combat with a wide variety of vessels and specialized units including tactical ships, shock troops, various fighter types, multiple capital ship classes and support vessels
• Downloadable campaign editor and tools, complete with the ability to script your own scenarios, event triggers, campaigns and cut-scenes
• Explosive battles with up to eight players in cooperative and head-to-head multiplayer mode

O.R.B will be exclusively distributed in North America by Infogrames.
