Microids and development studio Tower Five today revealed the release date for its Wildlife-packed RTS, Empire of the Ants, which is releasing on 7th November for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
Empire of the Ants is set in the picturesque Fontainebleau forest, where you play as 103,683e, a soldier ant tasked with protecting its colony.
Forge alliances with local wildlife as you navigate the photorealistic forest, with a narrative that changes with the seasons, impacting wildlife attributes such as speed, resistance, buffs, and more.
Empire of the Ants Release Date is set for November 2024
Based on Bernard Werber’s best-selling Ants trilogy, Empire of the Ants is developed using Unreal Engine 5. This technology aims to “push the boundaries of photorealism in the game’s depiction of plants and wildlife.”
“Just like Bernard Werber’s original word, the story begins in spring. Our ants emerge from their winter rest only to find their territory encroached upon by other insect species. The initial objective is to reclaim this lost territory.” said Lucas Poinsot, Game Designer at Tower Five Studio.
“Many species aim to expand their territory and survive. The climate, for instance, is a universal adversary. Weather events can force a group to relocate, often into an already occupied area.”
Empire of the Ants will be available November 7, 2024 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. There’s been no word on it coming to Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, and we don’t know if it will offer crossplay support. There’s a PVP mode listed, so it looks like you will be able to duel it out with other players online.
