Empires Apart heads into Beta!
Just over a year ago we announced the collaboration with DESTINYbit on their upcoming title Empires Apart.
The game has the ambition to bring the feel of classic RTS games into the modern era and it’s the work of love of true fans of the genre. It’s been a long ride and the intervening months have been full of hard work. Now that we draw closer to release, the developer needs your help to fine tune, balance and bring the project to completion.
