Let’s get it out of the way early: Empire of the Ants is a visually stunning game. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, this photorealistic strategy game will push your PC or console to the limit, with hundreds of beastly ants crawling around the land at any one time, as you seek to push your anty empire. And now, the full release date for the game has been revealed!
Grow your Empire!
Coming to Xbox, PlayStation and PC later this year – and read on for that all important release date – Empire of the Ants is loosely based on the Bernard Werber literature of the same name.
It’ll have you taking control of ant 103,683 – catchy – of the colony, where you must organise the mobility of different units to expand your territory across the lush, green forest. Develop new types of ants, recruit other animals like snails to defend your land, and most of all ensure your tactics are in tip-top shape if you want to emerge victorious.
With progressive difficulty, Empire of the Ants will always test your tactical nous, whilst remaining fair.
