Stardock is pleased to announce that it has secured Atari's rights to the classic franchise, Star Control with the intent to develop a new Star Control game. Development on the new game would begin this Fall with a release date to be determined later.
 
"We would be looking at Star Control 2 as a major source of inspiration," said Brad Wardell, President & CEO of Stardock.
 
Stardock expects the new Star Control to come in the form of a reboot in a similar sense that Firaxis did with the XCOM series last year.

More information on the Star Control relaunch will be made available as it becomes available.
