The gaming market is overflowing with options, and even a platform like Steam can feel overwhelming with its vast library of games. While choice is great, it often leads to a feeling of sameness, which is why games that offer unique perspectives stand out. Empire of the Ants, developed by Tower Five and published by Microids, promises to be one of those unique titles. This upcoming real-time strategy (RTS) game combines the breathtaking visuals of Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5.4 with an unusual third-person perspective, putting players in the shoes of a lowly ant tasked with saving its colony.
Empire of the Ants is based on the famous French novel “Les Fourmis” by Bernard Weber. The game places players in the thorax of an ant named 103,683e, who is determined to protect its colony. Microids emphasizes the weight of the player’s decisions, highlighting the consequences they will have on the colony’s survival. Players must overcome numerous obstacles, such as forming alliances, competing for resources, and navigating the chaotic environment of the forest. Empire of the Ants is available for pre-order at $39.99 and will be released on November 7th for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. This game promises a refreshing and challenging experience for RTS fans, offering a unique perspective on strategy and resource management.
