Wikpedia’s 4X page: eXplore eXpand eXploit eXterminate

Wow. This one came out of nowhere.

The developers of the Homeworld expansion ‘Cataclysm’ decided it was time to cut and run when Rockstar purchased their Vancouver offices. Not intending to go down the gritty path of a GTA-game, they instead left to extend their experiences on Homeworld into a full fledged 4x strategy game akin to Master of Orion. It’s looking pretty smacking good, too. I love the Anime-like feel of the ship battles. (note: this game has no connection to the RTS Homeworld)

The UI Shots in the second movie (at the bottom of the game’s official page) almost threw me into a spit-take. The first movie has better shots of the game’s 3D space battles. So colorful and clean. YES PLEASE!

There’s also an interview with the developers on Strategy Informer.

Enjoy.
