Sierra Entertainment has announced that World in Conflict will finally be making the move to next-gen consoles later this year.

World in Conflict was one of the best games of last year - if not the best strategy game in fact - and placed respectably in our Top 10 Games of 2007. However, whereas before the game was limited only to PC gamers with decent enough rigs to render the lush graphics, it will now be available on consoles too.

Sierra has announced that World in Conflict will be ported to both next-gen consoles; the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Unsurprisingly a Wii version hasn't been announced.

No release date has yet been nailed down firmly, but Sierra has said it is aiming for Autumn 2008, so gamepad gurus should have chance to perfect their skills before Christmas.

No information has been given regarding difference between the console or PC versions, but we spoke to Magnus Jensen, who was lead designer on World in Conflict a short while ago about what it takes to design a strategy game and one of the issues we touched upon was console RTS'. The article is certainly worth a look from any RTS fana

I don't think games like that work so well on consoles.

I mean, it's good news and good games are always welcome on consoles, but I always need to manage my RTSs with keyboard and mouse, otherwise it just phails :P

This game isnt your standard RTS. There is no resourse spam or unit spam. You get like 10 units max and you can drops nukes... It'll work fiiine.

big NONO how would you order the people around efficently and be accurate with a game console unless it's like the Wii where it has this pointer.

True...if you have not played this game, the graphics are on par with Crysis (for an RTS). Smoke trails that go on for miles and an amazing nuclear explosion graphic make it a keeper.

The problem I have with the game (as a classic Warcraft fan) is that there is not base management. It adds a dimension to the game. In Warcraft, the location of every farm on the grid made a difference when it came to defense etc.

WiC is still a great game and you guys should not miss out on it. It can also be used as a good benchmark software. If your rig can run WiC it can run anything, including Crysis.
