Do you want to save the world from aliens? Well, do you? I thought that you might, and Ive got some good news for you. Maryland-based Bethesda and Mythos, together are set to bring the highly anticipated Strategy RPG, The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge to your Playstation2. The even better news is that it is slated to hit the PS2 late this year. Its not a launch title, but it is exciting to see this genre covered so early on into the console's life. Not much is currently known about this title, but BethSoft.com has some screenshots and a description of the game, and we are more than happy to share that information with you.

Set in the near future, the human race faces certain extinction after a devastating 70-day war against alien invaders. With the military forces and governments of the world in ruins the player commands humanity's last hope -- a resistance force known as the Terran Liberation Army. Starting with a meager supply of captured weapons and technology the player must drive back the invaders and free the Earth from alien domination.

Throughout the game players will take part in a deep, involving plot and uncover the truth about Area 51, alien abductions, and the mysterious Men in Black. Can you gather the men and materials you need to put up a good fight without being detected? Create new bases to supply forces and protect the surviving civilian population. Capture and research alien technology to upgrade your weapons and vehicles.

You must fight for every resource you need since money is now worthless. Want new weapons or ammo? You've got to take it by force. Need new recruits? You must fight to free civilians so they can join your ranks. Train your troops and watch their skills and abilities increase as they learn from each combat mission. Fail and hope dies with you. Succeed and the human race might just rule Earth once again.

As you can tell from the few screenshots available this game looks as if it is progressing quite nicely. This promises to be a huge game and will likely be taking up huge chunks of time of all those Strategy-RPG maniacs out there this winter. If Mythos PC-gaming reputation is worth anything at all, we can look forward to pretty nice game.
