    Our dreams of finding intelligent life in the depths of space usually involve more chipper scenarios than what's seen in this narrative trailer for Grey Goo, which launches this week. Can't we just have lighthearted destruction a la Lilo & Stitch? Why all the threats of extinction? [Image: Grey Box]

    Petroglyph Games' combat-focused real-time strategy, Grey Goo, will deploy units for battle on Steam on January 23, 2015. Community Manager Mathew "Berek" Anderson shared the release date on the official Grey Goo forums, explaining that the team's alpha testing supplied enough information to allow them to create a full development schedule, negating the need for a future beta. More information will be released over the coming weeks, including background details on Grey Goo's tri-faction fight on Ecosystem Nine between the Goo, the Morra and the human race.

    Petroglyph Games continues its focus on the real-time strategy subgenre with the announcement of Grey Goo, a new real-time strategy game that promises to focus on combat instead of micromanagement. Little is known of the game's plot (beyond the title's reference to the theoretical apocalypse scenario brought about by endlessly replicating nanomachines), but Grey Goo will feature three unique factions as well as "epic" units for each. Additionally, the game features adaptive AI "based on real-world Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) concepts," which the developer claims should give the game "near-infinite replay value." Grey Goo is slated for release on Steam this Fall. More details can be found on the game's website, though what's currently available is scant. [Image: Petroglyph Games]
