The long-in-development Darwinia+ is finally ready to be added to the Xbox Live Arcade on February 10, according to developer Introversion. According to the company, the game's lengthy development cycle and constant delays were the result of Microsoft's demanding XBLA certification process, which they believe ultimately made it a better game.
Darwinia+ will contain both Darwinia and its multiplayer-focused sequel Multiwinia and it will be Introversion's first foray into developing a game for a console. The game will be available to download for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15).
More on Darwinia+, including the game's story and the first trailer, can be found right here:
Over thousands of generations the peaceful Darwinians have been evolving in a beautiful digital world, but now their whole way of life is under threat from a devastating computer virus that has infected their world and decimated their numbers. Without your protection they don't stand a chance and it's up to you to lead them into battle to recapture their lost world! Once you've proven your command ability, take your Darwinian army online and challenge your friends to strategic combat, as tribes of Darwinians slaughter one another in a desperate struggle for supremacy.
