New Update + Annihilation Mode option

FREE WEEKEND + 20% Sale
Next is the Free Weekend, this is the time to bring your squad who don't have the game yet. There are already a few interested external communities have already extended their interest to 'raid' the game over the weekend. Come join us for some battle over the weekend. To top it all off there's also a 20% sale to mark this occasion for the free weekenders to get a full copy of the game.
As we exit early access last month we have seen amazing growth in our community. We have doubled our Discord memberships ( over 2,000 members now ) and our Steam follower count has increased by almost 50%. But we want to be real; Eximius is still a relatively small indie title and it's hard for us to get the attention of the press to cover a unique FPS/RTS title. Nevertheless, the growth has been encouraging to us over here.
BONUS : Tournament Announcement
One final Bonus happening this weekend. Tournament is yet another heavily requested item and it's finally happening. Details will be announced this weekend. Eximius tournaments has always been a way for us to give back to the community and our dedicated players.
Stay tuned to our social medias.
And as usual, come chat with the rest of the community at : https://discord.gg/ammoboxstudios
