Skulls of the Shogun will be released for Xbox Live Arcade, Windows 8, Microsoft Surface and Windows Phone on the same day.

The turn-based strategy title attempts ambitious cross-play compatibility this October.

17-bits’s “action game version of a strategy game” gets a new trailer.

Also, learn which game development company a number of Space Channel 5 and Rez staff ended up at.

Jake Kazdal also talks about his days at UGA when he was working on Rez and Space Channel 5.
