Luminous and Iceberg Interactive have announced Circle Empires Rivals for Windows PC via Steam. The game is set to release sometime early next year.
This follow-up to the quirky 2018 RTS features the same core formula of conquering interconnected, procedurally generated floating islands, but finally adds online multiplayer. You can check out the announcement trailer above.
Anyone who wants to get into the game early can sign up for the closed alpha test here.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Circle Empires Rivals is the multiplayer sequel to the original award-winning real-time strategy game enjoyed by more than 300,000 players worldwide! Fast-paced action and hundreds of different units combined with a procedurally generated world of circles to make every session exciting and unique. You’ll have to devise new strategies and clever tactics to defeat your enemies, harvest resources and increase your power – alone or online with friends!
“It’s amazing to have watched the project evolve from a free demo into the single-player experience, and now at last, into a multiplayer one as well!” – The Luminous Team
