Space Siege is an action role-playing game being developed by Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games, to be published by Sega. The title is a play on the title of another game by Gas Powered Games, Dungeon Siege.

Space Siege takes place on a massive space colonization ship under attack by an alien foe that has annihilated the planet Earth before the game begins. Chris Taylor has described the plotline as introducing a moral dilemma regarding human cybernetic augmentation.^{[citation needed]} Players have the choice to replace body parts with cybernetically enhanced components throughout the game, to more effectively counter the alien threat at the sacrifice of their humanity. However, the greatest bonus that comes near the end of the game is only accessible if the player remains human. Choosing the "pure path" allows players to upgrade their robotic sidekick and powered armour.

Shawn Green, associate producer of Space Siege for Sega, stated that "a console version is something that's being considered right now. But currently it's not confirmed".^[1]
