The humble ant will take a starring role in 2024 in Empire of the Ants, a new real-time strategy adventure based on the 32-year-old sci-fi novel series of the same name. And thanks to Epic Games ...

Tower Five Studio game director Renaud Charpentier first read “Empire of the Ants” when he was 15 years old. The unusual sci-fi novel dramatizes a story about an ant colony in a park near Paris.

The first ever Anvil Empires playtest will run from Monday June 9 to Monday June 16, as part of Steam Next Fest. In the meantime, you can already find the game and wishlist it right here.
