The world of ants is a mysterious one, as we\u2019re still learning new stuff<\/a> about the most populous insect on Earth.<\/a> Soon we\u2019ll be able to get a more hands-on approach with everyone\u2019s favorite picnic-ruiners, thanks to the forthcoming insect sim Empire of the Ants.<\/em> The game\u2019s based on the hit sci-fi book series<\/a> and has you controlling a heroic ant to protect your massive colony.<\/p>\n

Publisher Microids and developer Tower Five just dropped a trailer and these are perhaps the most photorealistic ants ever seen in a video game. As a matter of fact, the whole trailer\u2019s teeming with eye candy, which makes sense given the title was built using Epic Games\u2019 powerful Unreal Engine 5.<\/a> Plus it\u2019s not just one or two ants on screen, as in-game footage shows hundreds of the little buggers doing their thing, complete with a photorealistic forest down to the pebbles and dirt on the floor.<\/p>\n

As for gameplay, the devs liken it to a real-time strategy title, with some 3rd-person adventuring peppered throughout. The makers say that \u201cstrategy planning, exploration, combat skills, but most of all, setting up local wildlife alliances will be necessary to survive the many challenges awaiting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The developers tout scalable difficulty levels to suit players of varying skill, a day-night cycle and gameplay that changes depending on the season. Each season will present players with different attributes, adding some light RPG elements, impacting \u201cspeed, resistance, buffs and more,\u201d according to an email sent to Engadget.<\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no release date yet, other than sometime in 2024, but the game\u2019s coming to both PC and unnamed consoles (likely PS5 and Xbox S\/X.) Publisher Microids previously released a smaller-scale adaptation of<\/a> Empire of the Ants<\/em>, back in 2000. Developers Tower Five previously worked on the strategy game Lornsword Winter Chronicles<\/em> and the ill-fated 2020 remake of XIII.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
