Thanks to Farflame for sending the following update, It seems Stardock has posted a summer update with information on the development of their games.

Some of the new games might be of interest as one is set in the Fallen Enchantress world called Elemental, and the other is an unannounced project.

The marketing people hate when I refer to something involving Elemental. That’s because every press article seems focus on the original Elemental:War of Magic (which did suck unfortunately). Elemental remains the most enjoyable programming experience I ever had. It’s a good reminder that you can’t mix up fun working on and fun playing.

Anyway, we just released an update to Legendary Heroes last month and we’re working on the next game in that fantasy universe. It’s going to be incredibly sweet. We’ve decided to embrace its single player style and really focus the game about you. So we have some real RPG-ish stuff coming.

Our biggest, most ambitious project ever is not announced yet. It’ll likely be announced as CES 2015. This team is a combo of people who worked on Sins of a Solar Empire, Galactic Civilizations, Civilization V and LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth. It’ll require 64-bit and need Mantle/DirectX 12 to really shine. We haven’t even hinted about this game yet in any form so don’t bother to try to guess. It’s something completely new.
More information.

New game from Elemental/FE world is more than welcome. It sounds like it will be more RPG/less 4x. Maybe closer to Kings Bounty, or RPG/strategy mix like King Arthur from Neocore.

The biggest project - some new hardware-consuming sci-fi 4x, strong land + cosmic builder?

Didn't Brad say he wanted to make a true Master of Magic in modern 3D form, to achieve what he wasn't able to do with Elemental?

The only news on the new Star Control is that it's way too early for news.

P.S. OMG, new & improved avatar for the couch spud!

Let them prepare the project properly. Meantime we can focus on that new game from FE universe. :)
