In the upcoming issue of GFW Magazine, Gas Powered games (Dungeon Siege, Supreme Commander) revealed their new IP, Demigod. Interestingly enough, their new outing was in part inspired by a fan-made map for Warcraft III, Defense of the Ancients.

It’s stated that Demigod will an action RPG/RTS hybrid. I can’t quite put my finger on how that combination is going to sit, but I envision it to be a little bit of Dungeon Siege along with a little bit of Supreme Commander. Consider my interest piqued.

From the information currently available, it appears as though you will solely control one of the “demigod heroes”. Some demigods rely on their own unique abilities, whereas others survive by surrounding themselves with small units, á la RTS.

It will include some sort of a single player campaign, but as with all RTS games of late, it will merely be a “training ground” for the multiplayer.

More information is said to be revealed in the February issue of Games for Windows: The Official Magazine.
