Publisher and developer Warlogics today announced that fantasy real-time strategy game Purple War will enter early access sometime during the summer. Eager players can try out its multiplayer mode in a playtest that kicks off as soon as next week.
Inspired by classics such as Starcraft and Age of Empires, Purple War is set in the land of Daivos. After peacefully coexisting for a while, humans, elves, and orcs are thrown into a conflict following the discovery of a supernatural resource called Purple Stone.
Purple War Release Date
Purple War’s playtest starts on April 25 and lasts until May 8, giving players almost two weeks’ worth of time to get a sense of the differences between its three races. It will focus exclusively on the multiplayer side of things with support from 1v1 to 4v4 players.
“In the style of classic RTS games, players will mine resources to build bases and recruit troops to take down enemy forces. Carry out various tactics like scouting, sneak attacks, disturb enemy mining resources, and attacking the forward bases with allied players,” reads an emailed press release.
To opt into the upcoming Purple War playtest, head over to its Steam page and request access from there.
When it launches in Early Access during summer, the game will also feature three story campaigns, one for each playable race.
You can learn more about the title by visiting its Steam page and see it in action in the trailer embedded below.
