Star Sonata 2 is set to follow the 2004 original title, but before that happens, you might want to catch its beta first.

The beta will be opening on Septembre 10th, and should give you a preview look as to what's going on in the game. Should you be interested to sign up for the beta, you can head over to the official Star Sonata website linked below.

As for the features promised in Star Sonata 2:

• New 3D graphics engine – Ships will bank when they turn, reflect sunlight and light from explosions and plasmas.

• Alien Invasions – The disturbed aliens from transdimensional space have decided to put an end to the annoying races of normal space. They will invade periodically with ever increasing power and numbers until they wipe out Sol itself. It’s up to the players to band together to protect Sol and keep the universe from imploding.

• RTS-like Controls for your possessions – You will be able to select your slaves, drones, or bases and give them orders with right-clicks similar to RTS style games. You can see the current shields and energy of your possessions and squadmates with mini-icons in the upper-right.

• Expanded Tech Levels – Tech skills and items of level 21 have already been added, with levels 22, 23, 24, and 25 each to be released every 4 months after the launch of SS2.

• Greatly Improved GUI – Allows multi-select, drag and drop, and a command bar along the top to hotkey your most used items. Also: multiple simulataneous inventories, mid-flight slave inventories, safe ship-to-ship trading interface, extended icon set, friend list, and more

• New Musical Score – Composed by Sebastian Nebaeus, plus mostly re-done and improved sound effects.
