The Supreme Commander 2 revelation

UPDATE: Since both Supreme Commander 2 and a demo of the game had been released on Steam, I asked Virtual Programming whether they would be releasing either the Mac version or a demo on Steam as well as other download services (such as their deliver2mac service). I was told that they had no plans to release on Steam, and would only be releasing on deliver2mac and retail outlets.

Supreme Commander 2 was announced at GDC. Two months later, Virtual Programming announces it for the Mac. How’s that for a turnaround!

Supreme Commander 2, sequel to the highly-acclaimed strategy title released three years ago, involves the threat of war between the United Earth Federation, the Aeon Illuminate, and the Cybran Nation after an assassination of the newly elected president causes their tenuous Colonial Defense Coalition to break down. The game was originally developed for the Xbox 360 and Windows by Gas Powered Games and launched in March.

“We’re honored to bring this highly anticipated game to the Mac mere months after its arrival for PC and Xbox 360,” said Virtual Programming CEO Mark Hinton. “We can’t wait to follow the fate of the UEF, the Aeon Illuminate, and the Cybran Nation through Supreme Commander 2′s 21 missions.”

Supreme Commander 2 will be available as a digital download at Virtual Programming’s Deliver2Mac.com service and will also ship to retail as a boxed product. There are currently no further details on launch dates or system requirements.
