SCi drops Terror from next Conflict title

British publisher SCi has announced that the next game in the successful Conflict franchise has been renamed - with Conflict Global Storm being the apparently more appropriate new moniker of Conflict Global Terror.

The name change, which applies only in the PAL territories - with the Terror remaining intact for release in other regions - is presumably a reaction to the headlines currently being made by Terror in the UK.

However, the game itself veers away from the current political situation, focusing instead on a conflict against a world-spanning group of white supremacist, neo-Nazi extremists.

The title, which is the latest in a series that has sold six million units to date, is being developed by Bath-based studio Pivotal Games, and is due for release on September 30th on PC, Xbox and PS2.
