Blacksburg, VA; February 27, 2015 –
A schedule has now been planned out for the War of Ages development and an official release date has been set! Developers have confirmed, the release date for War of Ages will be May 4, 2015. War of Ages will be available to Android users, and the price has not yet been announced.
War of Ages also revealed a look at the factions and units available to the players.
First, from the Northern Realm of the ice factions, the mystical vikings have the power to control artifacts of the frozen tundra. They can freeze the battlefield and slow down their clans’ greatest enemies. There is no colder place on earth than their war path!
Next, an ancient horde of cavemen who can bend the earth to their will. They are known to create trenches and cliffs, hurl giant boulders, and even command earthquakes. In the battle of brain versus brawn, they leave brains splattered across the battlefield!
Finally, a group of high tech soldiers from the future have stumbled on the Field of Ages. Those, who have access to incredible technology that allows them to launch explosives across the battlefield, detonate mines with the flip of a switch, and even cheat unbreakable odds. War grinds their gears to their fullest!
“We are very excited about the gameplay options these factions introduce, it truly is a war of the ages” said Scott Fraser. “Each faction has a unique play style and gives the user lots of options on how they want to play. ” War of Ages’ Graphics Designer, Joe Wileman, has created logos that are specific to each faction:
Each faction’s symbol represents their dedication and fullness to war. The symbol of the Northern Realm holds each viking faction to the soaring ideals of bravery, courage, and sacrifice. Meaning “deny witchcraft”, their symbol is a constant reminder of the clans’ willingness to serve no one but themselves!
The symbol of the caveman horde is simple and bold. Resembling their sacred rock, the cavemen call to the Boulder Cube as a reminder of their strength in battle. While numbers enrich their army’s advantage, each caveman cannot deny the oldest of sayings: “nothing is as hard as a rock!”
Lastly, the mechanics symbol is a communion of all the inventors lost in time. Many slain by wild beasts after the event, their symbol is a constant reminder of those ideas lost to simpler forces. Their beacon of hope remains as they will slay anything to return to a time that accepts them. “Long live the eternal!”
Which side will you take on the Field of Ages?…
The team plans to conduct several interviews to gain feedback about the concept from the general population. With that in hand, we will be able to refine our design and make preparations for the War of Ages
