Sega of America announced yesterday that they are working on a science fiction action RPG, to be called Space Siege. As the hero, you will be tasked with saving humanity as the last few remnants of Earth's population take to the stars in a colonization ship. As you progress through the story, you'll have the chance to augment yourself with a variety of cybernetic devices. Sool.

It's unclear if the whole game takes place on board the ship, becoming a Space Hulk type slog, or if you will be able to visit other worlds and have your adventures dirt-side. The official site isn't live yet and the only info is what's in the press release.

The original Dungeon Siege is known more for it's hack-and-slash gameplay than for any deep, invlovling story or role-playing characteristics. I wouldn't imagine Space Siege being much different. I'll still keep an eye out for it (Q1 2008), because it's always fun to blast things as a cyborg with laser cannon in your arms.
