Futuremark has released a new trailer for their upcoming tower defense title, Unstoppable Gorg.

Jaakko Haapasalo who plays the role of Radiant Beem, said, “It’s the difference between the Star Wars films that people love, with their special effects created with models, and the unpopular prequels with their heavy-handed CGI. With Unstoppable Gorg, we wanted to embrace the film techniques used in the golden age of sci-fi to create an authentic visual style that has never been seen in a game before.”
