Two weeks back we published an exclusive preview of Unigine's OilRush as we happen to have access to the internal builds of this upcoming multi-platform, real-time strategy game. Besides that preview article where plenty of screenshots can be found, we also recorded a quick video of this oil-themed game. Now though Unigine Corp has put out a much longer (12 minutes) video that goes over this visually-intense game that will premiere with a native Linux client.

As we have already talked about OilRush a fair amount, see our posts about it if you aren't already familiar with Unigine's inaugural game. Embedded below is the twelve minute video going over the OilRush game-play using the latest pre-release.


As we shared already, Unigine Corp will allow the community to beta test the game for those who pre-order the title. Details will be announced early next year for those who want to pre-order and gain beta access. The official release of OilRush should come in March. As long as your computer hardware and graphics hardware can handle this demanding OpenGL-based engine, this is a Linux game worth checking out.
