Haarlem, The Netherlands – Publisher Iceberg Interactive is excited to announce the release date of their turn-based 4x grand strategy title Oriental Empires, which will launch out of Early Access on September 14th. The game is currently on last-chance sale with 25% off in the Weeklong Deals on Steam.
Oriental Empires entered Early Access in September 2016 and has since seen a large and growing community and a high customer approval rate. New languages, new diplomacy options and an alpha version of the multiplayer mode were added to allow the community to help shape the launch version of Oriental Empires to their liking. The battles and AI have been vastly improved upon since entering Early Access and the game has received many patches, updated and tweaks.
The game will receive a massive update upon release as well. The full version of the multiplayer mode will be added, supporting 15 players in one campaign. Official German, French, Polish and Russian language support will also become available on release, while simplified Chinese will also be updated to ensure the best experience possible for our Chinese players. Trading cards will be made available as well.
In addition, a brand new scenario will be added to the game as part of the launch update. In this new scenario you can start your campaign in the infamous Warring States Era. This will give you direct access to new factions and a populated map, as factions have already established their reigns and you can be confronted with war from the very first turn.
