Advance Wars Meets Mars Attacks In This Strategy Game From Relic Entertainment

In simple terms, Relic Entertainment has unveiled Earth vs. Mars, an upcoming turn-based strategy game that seems like a blend of Advance Wars, Mars Attacks, and reckless DNA tinkering. The game is planned to be launched on PC in Summer 2025, where humans engage in a power struggle with Martians for dominion over our cosmic neighborhood.

Similar to the Advance Wars series by Nintendo, you will have the option to select various commanders to head Earth’s armed forces. Each commander possesses distinct skills that you can strategically exploit during battles.

In this scenario, although you’ll be equipped with conventional military tools such as tanks and artillery, it’s the Splice-O-Tron that truly stands out. This device allows for the transformation of individuals into extraordinary super-soldiers, when combined with animal DNA. Potential combinations hinted at are the swift cheetah-fly, the robust human-rhino hybrids, and lethal squirrel-cow infantry units.

In summary, the game developed by Relic Labs offers more than 30 single-player missions, a competitive mode against AI, online multiplayer, and an innovative map editor for creating custom levels and scenarios. Notably, “Earth vs. Mars” is their debut project under the Relic Labs initiative – a creative platform designed to allow the studio to venture into new sub-genres and test fresh concepts between major real-time strategy game launches.

Last year, the developers of Company of Heroes broke away from Sega’s control, leading to some job cuts. As a part of their new business approach, Relic is not only committed to nurturing their recently launched games but also intends to revive old series by remastering and re-releasing them.
