Nitrome's latest real-time strategy epic is trundling your way...

Mat from Nitrome sent over a short video preview of Skywire 2, the upcoming sequel to one of their most popular games, Skywire. So far it looks like it will be bigger and even better than the original, and is that 2-player versus split-screen I see?!
