NDA Productions, a studio of Vivendi Universal Games, and Massive Entertainment, today announce the development of Ground Control 2 : Operation Exodus. The game is the next episode in the award-winning and highly acclaimed Ground Control RTS game series.
Ground Control 2 : Operation Exodus takes place during the year 2741 AD, roughly 300 years after the events in the original game. The democratic and freedom caring Northern Star Alliance (NSA) is being hard pressed by the warmongering Terran Empire. The war has recently entered a new stage; a brutal and deadly ground war, as the Empire has managed to land their first troopships on the last NSA controlled planet – Morningstar Prime.
Captain Jacob Angelus, a battle-hardened officer in the NSA armed forces, finds himself becoming the central figure in the war against the Terran Empire. The situation is desperate and for the NSA destiny is at hand; its only hope lies in an ancient legend.
The game features:
- Strong focus on tactical battles and action-packed combat
- Outstanding graphics with incredible level of detail, the best 3D engine in its category
- Unique drop-in multiplayer modes allowing anyone to join an on-going game at any time
- Powerful MOD tools available for the community

Dominique Cor, CEO, NDA Productions, says “Ground Control 2 will definitely be a very exciting and innovative product in its genre. We are thrilled by the level of quality and performance that the Massive Entertainment team shows. Ground Control 2 is the perfect game to build up NDA Productions profile internationally."
