Here's
a video from
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, offering an overview of this strategy game featuring
fleets of gigantic spaceships, and celebrating the launch of the game's beta for those who preorder
(preorders are accepted through
this page). It sounds like the beta period will be
pretty brief, as the clip includes word that the game will fully launch by the
end of this month. Here's more on launch plans and the benefits of preordering:
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, Tindalos Interactive's real-time strategy game
set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, opens its beta today. All players who
preorder the game on Steam or the official store can immediately join this beta,
build their first fleets and test their worth as Admiral against other players
or the AI!
In addition to the 10% discount offered during the pre-order period, Early
Adopters of Battlefleet Gothic Armada will receive one extra faction for free -
the Space Marines - and immediate access to the Beta of the game. From today,
players can practice building their Imperium and Chaos fleets and get used to
the gameplay mechanics in the solo campaign prologue, before testing their
skills against the AI or players online in 1v1 skirmishes. The remaining
factions (Orks and Eldar), as well as the full solo campaign and other
multiplayer modes (like 2vs2) will be made available when the game launches
later in March. The Space Marines fleet will be available to play a few weeks
after the game launches.
