Normally something like this wouldn't be very important news, but it is the first time that Unknown Worlds Entertainment has ever hinted at a release date, let alone fully stated one for their RTS/FPS Natural Selection 2. I loved the first game and found a lot to enjoy in it, but Natural Selection 2 has been in development for such a long time that I fear that it may go the way of Nuclear Dawn, garnering some sales but not being the success that it could have been. Especially since it's been five years since the first game was officially released back in 2007. Natural Selection 2 will also be coming out on Steam and we now know that they are aiming for this Summer of 2012. The game still does look to have a lot of the unique qualities that made the first one such a big success, but we will see how that goes this summer. For now watch the new trailer that shows off a whole lot of action, the commander mode, a never shown before map called Mineshaft, Marine Jetpacks and the Onos (one of the large aliens). Check it out and check out the main website for more on the game, there is a lot of information there and many gameplay videos if you care to indulge yourself. People are already playing the game in the beta, which you can get into still if you pre-order the game and you can find more information about here.
