Empires Apart coming to PC in 2017!

Published on July 05, 2016

Empires Apart aims to be precisely that. It aims to recapture the excitement and wonder of collecting resources, building an army and leading it to victory. It’s a throwback, but with a modern twist. It takes snippets from MOBAs, hints from MMORPGs, but wants to be Age of Empires at heart.

This ambitious RTS, developed by DESTINYbit, is coming to PC next year. The path is still long, but the game as it is now, already shows all the signs of delivering on where Age of Empires left off.

 

“We are really excited to be working with Slitherine”, says Gian Paolo Vernocchi, one of DESTINYbit’s founders. “When it comes to strategy games, they're among the best in the business and this partnership enables us to fulfill our vision for a modern old-school RTS. We want to make a truly meaningful contribution to this genre and give the fans the game they always wanted”.

 

The game is developed in the Unreal engine and there are already a number of pretty cool videos and artworks on the official site.

 

Age of Empires is a great game and there has been very little in that genre for the fans to play over the last few years”, says Iain McNeil, Development Director at Slitherine. “Multiplayer is especially difficult even in the HD version. There is a real gap in the market which DESTINYbit identified and we’re pleased to be working with this talented team. It keeps true to everything that made Age of Empires great but also has some great new ideas we think will keep the community happy for another 10 years “.
