DotA-like action RTS Demigod revealed

GFW Magazine has taken the lid off a new project by Gas Powered Games (Dungeon Siege, Supreme Commander); Demigod, an action RTS that takes a few cues from the popular Defense of the Ancients mod (DotA) for WarCraft III.

Demigod will be a three-way hybrid of action, RPG and RTS gameplay. On top of that, it will be focussed on (co-op) multiplayer, with only some training missions in singleplayer.

For those who've never tried DotA, it concentrates on two teams trying to destroy each others' bases; though rather than managing all the units or gathering resources as in a regular RTS, players each control a single Hero unit with different powers, leveling up by killing A.I. enemies around the map.

In Demigod, you control one of many "demigod" heroes -- some of which survive solely on the strength of their own powers, others of which thrive on building smaller units and structures of their own for support. The guy on the left in the screenshot below is one such hero, "The Rook," a former king whose spirit now animates an anthropomorphic castle.

It has never been a secret that the GPG peeps were fans of DotA and that certain members of the Supreme Commander team were working on an all new IP (intellectual property).

The cat is out of the bag now and since GFW Magazine will have more info about the game in their February issue, it's safe to say that Demigod will certainly come to the PC platform, according to the GPG website presumably in Fall 2008.

There are no hints to a possible release on other platforms though. You can see the first screenshot at the GFW website.
