Unigine OilRush Release Date Is Set

There's finally a release date set for Unigine's premiere game, OilRush.

Unigine OilRush is now set for release on the 25th of January, 2012. This comes after Unigine Corp originally planned to release the game this spring, then the summer, and then this fall. Today the Russian company has officially announced the 25 January release date. It's coming later than expected, but lately they had delayed the game to enhance the game-play and then last I heard privately from Unigine Corp that they were working on the release date due to discussing matters with their distribution partners.

OilRush will ship for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and Linux on 25 January unless no other changes arise. Below is the official "news item" I received from Unigine Corp today regarding this real-time strategy game.
