RTS fans, assemble! Iconic publisher MicroProse and indie developer Divio have officially dropped a brand-new announcement trailer revealing that their highly anticipated real-time strategy game, Liquidation, will enter Steam Early Access on August 4.
If you miss the golden era of tactical RTS combat where positioning, unit composition, and micro-management actually mattered—rather than just spamming high-population death balls—Liquidation might just be the exact game you’ve been waiting for.
Welcome to Veá: Where Sci-Fi Meets Dark Fantasy
Set in the shattered, war-torn world of Veá, Liquidation takes place in the aftermath of a catastrophic event known as “The Splintering.” Entire civilisations were wiped out, and in the aftermath, a mysterious, vital substance known as Quenrium rose from the depths. As the only resource capable of sustaining life on a dying planet, Quenrium has sparked a brutal conflict across the globe.
What sets the lore apart is its unique fusion of futuristic technology, dark magic, and demonic nightmare creatures.
Command Three Distinct Factions
When Liquidation drops in Early Access, players will be able to take control of three asymmetrical factions, each boasting its own distinct identity, unit roster, and strategic playstyle:
- The Twilight Crusade: Fanatical zealots in radiant golden armour. Guided by unshakable faith, they aim to enforce absolute order across Veá and purge anyone standing in their way.
- The Scourge Alliance: A desperate coalition uniting the primal ferocity of Lamia tribes with high-tech Frogkin weaponry to ensure survival against overwhelming odds.
- The Legion: Infernal demonic horrors pouring into Veá through a tear in reality, driven purely by the dark will of their nether-realm master.
Key Game Features to Look Forward To:
- Tactical Real-Time Combat: Battles focus on mid-sized armies, intelligent unit positioning, cover mechanics, and synergy over mindless unit spamming.
- Heroic Commanders: Lead your forces with powerful commander heroes who level up and unlock tide-turning abilities throughout the match without completely trivialising your standard army.
- Single-Player & Multiplayer Modes: Prepare to jump into campaign scenarios, skirmish modes, and online player-vs-player (PvP) matches.
- Community-Driven Early Access: Divio plans to use the Early Access period to closely work alongside the RTS community to balance gameplay, polish systems, and roll out new content based on direct player feedback.
Mark Your Calendars
Whether you’re a long-time fan of classic RTS titles like Warcraft III or Dawn of War, or simply looking for a fresh, atmospheric strategy game, Liquidation is shaping up to be a standout release.
Head over to Steam, add Liquidation to your wishlist today, and get ready for battle when Early Access launches on August 4!
