Uncapped Games will reveal the untitled project at Summer Game Fest
The former multiplayer lead for RTS giantStarCraft 2is working on a new real-timestrategy gamethat he promises will mark a “paradigm shift” for the storied PC genre.
Part of what Kim believes marks the game out is its renewed focus on being approachable and fun rather than highly demanding on players’ reflexes and memorisation skills - something I appreciate on behalf of those of us formerBrood Warplayers now over 30 whose APM often measures in the single-digits these days.
Rather than matches coming down to ruthless efficiency and complex execution of commanders, the game will apparently prioritise being easy to learn and offering strategic decision-making - though it’ll still have plenty of those real-time elements, being an RTS and all. (Thanks,PC Gamer.)
“Players will define their own way to play and focus on commanding fast-paced, large-scale battles," Kim said. “Players will enjoy more moment-to-moment strategic decision-making in each game, instead of waiting for that next fun action moment.”
A Noclip documentary teases more about the project that Kim says will present a “paradigm shift” for the RTS genre by taking things back to basics and inviting new players in. We’ll be able to see and find out more in June, with a full reveal due during this year’s Summer Game Fest.
