Theale, UK – June 7, 2022 : The trenches of Iron Harvest are calling again as the award winning RTS gets even bigger with a free add-on, introducing the World Map Campaign and over 40 new missions.
The first of three updates is releasing today for PC, with the console version following later on.
Watch the trailer here.
The World Map Campaigns offer an exciting way to experience the rich world of the alternative history of 1920+. Nations in conflict fight to protect their all-new capital maps and to gain stable control over the territories. The rules for meta-gameplay are simple, but the tactical depth comes with its own learning curve and gives players many ways to optimise their own grand strategy. Quests and scenario battles will decide the outcome!
The scenarios bring challenging single player missions to Iron Harvest, revisiting the 60 maps of the game with a fresh spin. The most recent starting parameters and victory conditions will force players to command the giant dieselpunk mechs in unusual ways. Several renewed mission types with over 40 new missions in total, ranging from the classic destroying the enemy HQ to a capture-the-flag-esque scenario, and an advanced AI that adapts to the mission objective will keep players on their toes.
There are several world map configurations for the player to choose from, all with their own tactical division of the territories and victory conditions. Each world map will also offer a custom campaign editor, allowing players to set up their very own world map to conquer.
On top of that, the new 3v3 multiplayer/skirmish map Forgotten Fortress will lead players into the hazardous desert of Arabia. Together with the latest balancing and stability improvements, this update expands Iron Harvest even further, making it one of the largest RTS games on the market.
Iron Harvest first released in 2020 and received continuous free updates featuring maps, seasons and rewards. The game is available for PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
