Empire of the Ants Preview: Explore a Weird (and Photorealistic) Insect Kingdom

Empire of the Ants is really effective at making you feel like a very tiny being within a much larger world. As a new strategy adventure game set in the insect kingdom, you command an army of ants to explore, expand, and extract resources in a large, near-photorealistic world that looks like it could be in someone's backyard. Previewed by Alessandro Fillari

This could create a new type of genre and the DLC would go crazy ,imagine flying ants or other species and then industrial environments ,this could go on for hours

[@spinorachnid]

A sequel in a big city would be awesome like new york , ants in the city

[@ScaryRevenant]

That could just come in the form of a DLC bro

[@eyesofthebeast]

If this is anything like Ant Nation that was on the Wii a few years back, then im very excited to play this

[@SpookyFairy]

Such a stunning looking game!

[@gidds617]

This looks dope. Ants are interesting creatures.

[@ktsoutsoubroutsos3873]

it would be nice if it had different spiecies of ants family with different characterstics.

[@brianarcher6625]

it does?? Its literally shown in the trailer

[@eyesofthebeast]

@@brianarcher6625 people always comment without watching the video

[@SPG8989]

Looks kinda interesting. Will for sure check it out. Seems fresh.

[@TheNickellis]

will this be on ps5??

[@Davandmor]

Ant with total war combat? Im in.

[@glados4765]

We all lift together.

[@OneaeBlack]

Ants and most animals follow natural line like even on branches also they leave scent trail many ants could trail behind one another and they usually got one goal to get food to colony, colony of ants can combine to cover valley of land many many with only few Queen ants, really though this game is remarkable and definitely gonna get fun with kids children educational too.

A Bug's Life PS1 remake looking hella clean.

felt like a hype video rather than a preview... literally not a single negative thing mentioned.

[@ashokathegreat4534]

This game will be sold

How cool would it be if the sequel is Medieval era with ant wars in ant armor 😂

Gunner units? ants? ant use guns?

[@connerphillips2643]

Most ants can spray acid, in the book they're called gunners.

[@vegaa.1645]

Ant this something!

[@mgCataclaw]

Was hoping for a strategy game, controlling the ant colony, being the "queen" and expanding. This does not interest me anymore.

[@nickshepard3830]

We got an Ant game before GTA 6.

[@KekoDMatrix]

ooooh nice . great looking

[@stefanpestritu2308]

why no prehistoric animals games or dragon games????

Not a grand Strategy like the older one?
Looks like ill be giving this game a pass then
Such a shame

Same here. Passing.

Corporate gaming is going to extreme lengths to tell us our complaints about microtransactions are ignored and we’re all small like ants

They need to take a page out of ancestors

[@alexs29]

Yeah, it definitely needs work, honestly.

[@infinitydragonoid2655]

Agree. It's not nearly as minimalist as every other game in the past 5 years. Just get rid of all the color and just make it bold, white lines with zero personality to make it better.

[@jessebowser]

So... Pikmin?

Ranged attacks? TF an ant gonna shoot?
