Just one day after revealing that Supreme Commander 2 is due next spring, publisher Square Enix has announced specific dates.

Gas Powered Games' strategy sequel will hit North America in PC form on March 2, with the Xbox 360 edition following March 16.

Two rather enthusiastic quotes from GPG founder Chris Taylor--"The partnership with Square Enix has been a highlight of my career" and "I couldn't be more proud of what the team has accomplished, as the game has continually exceeded all of my expectations throughout its development"--accompanied the news, as did some new footage:

Narrowing down the general 2010 release of Supreme Commander 2, publisher Square Enix has issued several new robot-tastic screenshots and revealed that Gas Powered Games' PC and Xbox 360 strategy sequel will hit European territories in spring. The company has yet to confirm if the spring release window also applies to North America, though it seems likely as Square Enix has recently been shipping many of its North American and European releases within close proximity of one another.

The first look at the in-game content of Supreme Commander 2 has been released in the form of a single screenshot (left).

The teaser trailer for the Gas Powered Games RTS sequel was released last night, but contained no in-game footage.

Square Enix today announced that it will publish Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander 2, a sequel to the 2007 real-time strategy game.

No other details about the game, including platforms or release dates, were announced, just that these would be available "at a later time."

Square Enix did note this deal would be the first of several new publishing deals, with the company looking to expand its western development portfolio. Traditionally, the Square Enix group has only worked with other Japanese companies.

"We see great opportunities in European and North American markets, both of which are expected to be maintaining sustainable growth over these coming years," said Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix Co., Ltd. "Therefore, it is crucial we create alliances with proven developers such as Gas Powered Games in order to serve these significant markets better by providing products and services in tune with customer tastes."
