8-Bit Armies Announced For Consoles

By Lexley Ford,

Publisher SOEDESCO has announced that they will be bringing Petroglyph Games' 8-Bit Armies to consoles. The game will be available in both digital and boxed versions later this year and will also include all of the content from the "Guardians Campaign" DLC.

The Petroglyph team has a rich history when it comes to strategy games, with the executive staff and many of its team members being veterans of Westwood Studios. 8-Bit Armies is the latest RTS from Petroglyph and will be their first title to have made its way onto consoles. It takes much of its inspiration from the early Command & Conquer games with “accessible gameplay mechanics and a timeless art style”. The console version will also feature a unique controller scheme designed to make it easier to “build bases and command large armies without complex button memorization”.
