Infogrames has announced the development of a sequel to the very popular real-time strategy game Total Annihilation. The company has licensed the franchise to Korea-based Phantagram to develop and publish the title in Asia, while Infogrames will handle publishing to the rest of the map.

While no Mac version is specifically mentioned in the press release, MacSoft is the Infogrames label that brought the original to the Mac. Encouraging news for a possible Mac port is the mention of development for next-generation consoles as well as the PC, which means the code should be developed with portability in mind.

Here's a clip from the Infogrames press release:

The license deal between Infogrames and Phantagram signals a significant step in support for Asian developers by Infogrames. The caliber of the Total Annihilation series reflects the growing talent and abilities in Asian games development, and its recognition globally.
