Midway Games today announced that EARTH 2160, the highly-anticipated sequel in the top-selling and critically-acclaimed EARTH series of real-time strategy titles, has shipped to stores nationwide and is available for play on the PC.

Developed by Reality Pump Studios, EARTH 2160 is a rich, story-driven RTS that sees conflict arise as the remnants of the Eurasian Dynasty, Lunar Corporation and United Civilized States terraform Mars following Earth’s destruction. As the civilizations independently rebuild, a group of imprisoned alien renegades is awakened from suspended animation. The groups must either battle it out or band together as they try to survive the new alien threat.

"Each faction in EARTH 2160 uses a unique style of modular construction and vehicle customization, leading to a high number of strategies and counter-strategies for the seasoned RTS player," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "The engaging single-player campaign and the polished multiplayer modes combine to make EARTH 2160 a deep, innovative, story-driven RTS with hundreds of hours of gameplay."
