Supreme Commander 2 is obviously the sequel to the original Supreme Commander game. Both the retail and electronic versions of Supreme Commander 2 for the PC will be powered by Steamworks, providing gamers with auto-updating, Steam Achievements, Steam support for in-game DLC, and more.

The SC2 demo is currently available, and the game is available for pre-purchase. The PC title will be released worldwide the week of March 1st in both physical and electronic forms.
