Dark fantasy RTS Cataclismo early access release date revealed (again)
The siege defense strategy game’s release date shifts back exactly six days, with the game launching via Steam Early Access
July 1, 2024 – Hooded Horse brings news from out of the darkness – Digital Sun’s upcoming siege defense RTS game Cataclismo is now releasing on PC via Steam Early Access on July 22, 2024!
This follows on from the game getting over 200,000 wishlists on Steam, and the extra time will ensure both Hooded Horse and the developers can get everything in place for a successful launch. Cataclismo is a dark fantasy real-time strategy game about building castles brick-by-brick and defending against overwhelming odds for as long as possible. Players will design fortresses, optimize production in the citadel, train and deploy a wide range of troops, and make impactful tactical choices as they fight to defend the last bastion of humanity.
Cataclismo’s initial early access build will feature:
- The main campaign, which initially features a tutorial and eleven levels, spread across two distinct biomes. More levels will be added on the road to 1.0.
- A skirmish mode with two different levels and biomes.
- An “Endless” mode, which is just on one biome but features procedurally generated maps.
- A comprehensive and detailed level editor where the community can create their own maps using the two main biomes, as well as official support for sharing these maps.
More biomes, features, and modes will be added during the early access period, including additional content for the Endless game mode and new levels for the main campaign.
“We decided we wanted to do a short early access phase to polish the game with the community,” says Digital Sun CEO Javi Giménez. “It’s pretty much done, but it’s also a complex game, and there are still some final pieces to add. We want to use every tool we have to ensure the full release is as good as it can be!”
“Steam Early Access continues to be a wonderful path for games,” says Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender. “As we have seen with our recent EA to 1.0 transitions, it affords developers the time they need to develop a great 1.0 offering in collaboration with their fans.”
The game will be localized from English into German, French, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
Cataclismo will release on PC via Steam Early Access on July 22, 2024.
