Demigod is a RTS video game currently under development by Gas Powered Games, the creators of Supreme Commander and Dungeon Siege. The gameplay consists of elements borrowed from both of those genres and is described as an action/RPG/RTS hybrid partly inspired by the Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients. The game gives the player the ability to choose certain heroes that rely on either their own power as a single unit or the power of creating multiple units.^[2]

[edit] History

As of April 7th, 2008, it was announced that the release date for Demigod would be pushed back from "late 2008" to February 2009. A public beta is slated for release in the summer of 2008. There will also be no on-disc copy protection, and the game will make use of Stardock's Impulse program.^[3]

On May 20th, 2008, the official website was redesigned, moving from a bland template-styled website to one with more information and an improved visual theme.
