Back in February of this year Gas Powered Games unleashed Supreme Commander on the PC gaming public, delighting both RTS and giant robot fans everywhere with its focus on story and the awesome strategic zoom. Now publisher THQ has announced that a sequel will be strategically zooming to a PC near you this November.

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is a standalone sequel to SupCom that will feature over 100 new units, a new single-player campaign, and an entirely new faction taking up arms in the Infinite War, as was hinted at by events in the first installment.

"Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is not only the continuation of the epic story that is unfolding inside the game's universe, it is the continuation of our goal to move the bar for RTS gaming even higher than ever," says Chris Taylor, CEO of Gas Powered Games
