A trio of Russian developers have revealed that they are all collaborating on an alternate-history PC strategy title that pits former Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin against invading Martians.

Titled Stalin vs. Martians, the game is billed as "the natural choice for anyone bored of hundreds and hundreds identical 'World War II strategies'" as well as "the perfect choice for anyone who just hates the strategy genre."

Set in 1942, it begins as Martians invade Russia, forcing Stalin to lead the military's anti-extraterrestrial troops into battle.

Developed by Black Wing Foundation, Dreamlore and N-Game Studios, Stalin vs. Martians is expected to release this fall. No North American publisher has been announced.

Ukraine-based developer Black Wing Foundation today announced Salvation, a new dystopic third-person shooter built on Valve's Source engine for the PC and Xbox 360. The studio also released screenshots and concept art for the upcoming title.

Set in the near future, Salvation sets the stage with a world government which makes use of genetic engineering to successfully imitate a biblical Judgment Day and establish a new world order. By creating and subsequently killing genetic replicants of Christ and the Antichrist—this is from the press release, mind you—and cloning angels to patrol the world, the regime is able to strip humanity of its freedoms.

Crafted around a futuristic cybernetic dystopia, Salvation tasks the player with taking down the corrupt government using a familiar third-person shooting gameplay structure with light RPG elements. Beyond its seven-episode single-player campaign, the game also features online multiplayer for up to 32 combatants.

Black Wing Foundation has not yet announced a publisher or release date for Salvation.
