Real-world colonization of Mars is still years away (although I'm holding out hope that SpaceX's Red Dragon will get there in my lifetime), but if you've ever wanted to try your hand at colonizing the Red Planet, a new game from developer Haemimont lets you do just that.

　　Surviving Mars is a city-building strategy game that tasks you with trying to eke out a living in the harsh environment of Mars. In a press release, publisher Paradox Interactive explained that, although you will be building a civilization, it won't be like SimCity or Cities: Skylines. It's much more of a survival game than those other city-builders.

　　Now Playing: Surviving Mars - Announcement Trailer

　　"Every colonist will be vital to the mission as the colony struggles to gain a foothold where the environment is hostile and resources are scarce," the press release states. "With each success, however, players will gain the ability to expand further, and even establish a thriving society--and lead a new generation that has never known the Earth."

　　Paradox also published Cities: Skylines, and CEO Fredrik Wester said that since the success of that game, the company has wanted to make more city management games: "Expanding our management-strategy catalog has been something we've wanted to do for some time, after the successful launch of Cities: Skylines and building the player community around that genre."

　　Paradox hasn't specified a release date for Surviving Mars yet, but it's coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC. In other news, Cities: Skylines recently launched on Xbox One.
