Public Demo on Anvil Empires to be Available Starting June 2

Siege Camp announced that a public demo of Anvil Empires is available beginning June 2. It features a special 1000-player battle test that's been designed to push the cutting-edge server technology of the game to its limits. This release is part of the Steam Next Fest.

The game is being developed by the independent game studio Siege Camp. It's known for its title Foxhole, the persistent world war game where players coordinate logistics and strategy across a living battlefield. For the upcoming Anvil Empires, the team has managed to push its vision even further to a new frontier of real-time and player-driven MMO warfare.

Anvil Empires has players take command of catapults, battering rams, and even siege towers. They can either march alongside an army of real players or man the ramparts for a desperate last stand behind the Keep’s crumbling walls. There's no question that this is warfare on a scale that's rarely seen in online gaming. It's a game where strategy, logistics, and coordination define the path to victory.

Massive Battles

Players get to experience a large scale game of conquest that takes weeks to play out. They wage war alongside thousands of players across a persistent online world. The custom server technology allows for as much as 1000 players to fight shoulder to shoulder in a massive real-time melee battle. Battles are organically instigated by players in an open world sandbox.

Build the Empire

It's not all fights as players can also build settlements. They begin with small hamlets and develop them to become large bustling towns which can then be shared by dozens, or even hundreds, or players.

They can engage in farming, hunting, and husbandry, to name a few. Activities that's designed to support the war effort. Players can also trade with nearby player settlements to further optimize their economy. Be sure to design and build elaborate, multi-level keeps and fortresses for withstanding prolonged sieges.
