From Stardock Entertainment:
Set in a near future, Ashes of the Singularity II puts humanity in a fight for its own survival. The Post-Human Coalition, a faction of humans who have abandoned their physical bodies, has become the most technologically advanced power in the solar system. At the same time, a rogue artificial intelligence has built the AI Substrate, a machine civilization determined to secure its own future at any cost. Caught between them, humanity is losing ground.
The nations of Earth have set aside long-standing rivalries to form the United Earth Forces. Outmatched in technology and weaker unit for unit, the UEF must rely on what humanity still does best: large armies, disciplined infantry, and strategies drawn from thousands of years of military experience.
"To everyone who played the demo, joined the playtest, and helped shape Ashes of the Singularity II, thank you," said Adrian Wright, Vice President of Entertainment at Stardock. "On November 10, humanity's fight for survival comes home to Earth, and we can't wait for you to join it."
Players lead humanity through the single-player campaign or take command of any of the three factions in skirmish and multiplayer, each with its own units and style of play.
Ashes of the Singularity II arrives after a Steam Next Fest demo and a public multiplayer playtest in September. The development team used player feedback from both to improve gameplay, balance, performance, and multiplayer stability ahead of launch.
