"Stormrise" is an upcoming game being developed by Creative Assembly and Sega. Stormrise is a post-apocalyptic real-time strategy game from the makers of "Total War", with the ability to control units in the air, on the surface, and underground. Stormrise picks up the popular post-apocalyptic theme, presenting a civilization that has begun to once again emerge after a catastrophic event. Two warring factions arise from the rubble: the Echelon, a technologically advanced race that endured the planet's fallout by way of self-induced hibernation, and the Sai, a tribal society that adapted to the new environment and evolved.

A change in scenery won't be the only divergence, however. Rather than Total War's detached, general's-armchair view of battlefields, players will assume the role of frontline commander. The Creative Assembly will also introduce an element of "verticality," where units can be deployed in the air, on rooftops, at ground level, or below the planet's surface.

Stormrise is in development at The Creative Assembly's Australian studio and is expected to arrive for the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 in 2009.
