Development
editForced Alliance was developed by Orbital Studios, a company founded in 1994.[2]
Orbital Studios originally had a working project codenamed Alien Alliance around 1995, that looked similar in visual and interface designs to Forced Alliance. It was also planned to come on the PlayStation. That former game was likely reworked and released as the latter game, exclusively for the PC.[3]
