Rise&Fall: Civilizations At War, Midway's highly-anticipated real-time strategy game that puts players in the role of some of history's greatest generals, is now scheduled for release in June 2006. The game's development is now being led internally out of the Midway San Diego studio, with a group that includes game industry veterans from the teams that developed "Heroes of Might and Magic" and "Lords of Everquest."

Rise&Fall: Civilizations At War is the first real-time strategy game to place players directly in the heart of combat with an innovative Hero Mode, allowing them to fight side-by-side with their troops from a third-person perspective as the ultimate super-weapon. Players can choose from eight heroes such as Julius Caesar, Cleopatra or Alexander the Great, each with special heroic abilities and weapons, as they raise powerful armies, plan attack strategies and utilize Hero Mode to turn the tide of battle.
