This one is already on my wishlist. Looks amazing. I'd have to face my arachnophobia to play it, but it seems cool enough that I would.

 

[Puscifer]

still won't ever beat MSN ants

 

[nkarafo]

There's going to be a giant spider at some point, isn't it?

 

[R6Rider]

That steel book is fucking cool.

That steel book is fucking cool.

Yeah, I'm going to grab the limited edition just because that steelbook looks dope.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

What the? I need to keep my eyes on this release.

So not a PS exclusive, right? Coming to XBOX, too?

Quoting you here in this new thread I've made since I saw you were keeping tabs on the game. ^^

Empire of the Ants releases Nov 7 on PS5, XBS and PC.

One of the most interesting looking next gen games I've seen!

Thank you

Wow! That genuinely looks very interesting, and the graphics are just icing on the cake. Wishlisted, thanks for the heads-up!

 

[digital_ghost]

I feel bad for drowning fire ant piles with a water hose as a kid.

Those fuckers deserved it though. Couldn't even play in the back yard without getting bite.

 

[kruis]

I'm not a huge fan of RTS games, but this does look interesting - and certainly original. Graphics are surprisingly good too. I hope this is a success.

There's going to be a giant spider at some point, isn't it?

Nope, just normal, regularly-sized garden spiders. Problem is though, you play as just a tiny, tiny little ant, so...

 

[Comandr]

Actually really looking forward to this one. I love games that let you play as animals or from unique perspectives.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Research Technology? I don't see lab coats on any of these ants.
but seriously this looks really good.

 

[//DEVIL//]

The fact this game looks good makes it more disgusting.

Also,, play as ants ? if I ever see an ant at someone's place I get disgusted. yet you want me to play as a colony of them ???

who comes up with these ideas?

[lh032]

Raw science !!!!

 

[GymWolf]

I like what i see but i don't get the genre.

Is it like sim city or total war with ants or an action game where you fight etc.?

Ecit: ok it's an rts, not interested.

 

[Kenpachii]

This looks amazing, going to try it out.

[Toots]

I wonder if the ants wage wars only for survival or, like us, to enrich big ant corps and the military-hunting and gathering complex ?

 

[Dacvak]

Wow this game looks awesome. I hope it has the full suite of UE5 bells and whistles on PC. This game would look amazing with RT lighting.

The spiders are gonna be scary though.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm legit gonna buy this.

 

[Eiknarf]

Wait
What’s an RTS game?
Is it like I choose/set commands for the group of ants to “go here. Go there. Attack” etc?

It’s not like I control one ant and kill enemies with real time melee/bite/attacks?

 

[SportsFan581]

Interesting perspective. A hyper realistic grounded in a way.

@ Eiknarf , think Command & Conquer, Age of Empires, or Star Craft, at least those are generally what is referred to as RTS.

 

[Punished Miku]

Finally has a price. $40.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Absolute shocking loss of life and for what reason?

Probably to enrich big ant corps and the military-hunting-and-gathering complex

anyway i wrote a song in their honor

You could have it all
My empire of ants
watch the vid of the 7 day ant war
You will crap your pants
