Paradox Interactive has announced that it has signed an agreement with Russian publisher Akella to release "Galactic Assault," previously known as "Inhabited Island: Battlefield," worldwide.

"Players will be thrust into a deep and harrowing story as four unique races battle for supremacy on the planet Saraksh. Each race possesses and can easily develop distinguishable technologies, leading to the presence of vastly different heavy armored units, transport units and aviation units on the battlefield. The battles take place among vivid extraterrestrial landscapes in 3D with day and night changes as well as dynamic weather conditions that affect the gameplay.

"Akella has become a major player in the development and publishing of quality PC games and we are thrilled to enter this long-term partnership with one of Russias most acclaimed companies" said Fredrik Wester, Executive Vice President."

"We have followed the development of this title closely as we are great fans of Massive Assault developed by Wargaming.net.We are convinced that the unique dynamics and gameplay in Galactic Assault will appeal to even the most jaded strategy gamers, Mr. Wester continued."

In addition to the interesting story line, Galactic Assault offers a revolutionary tactical combat system, more than 70 unique units of great power and high-definition visuals that will immerse players in a horrendous story of war and survival."
