8-bit RTS game ‘8-Bit Armies’ comes to consoles

The team at SOEDESCO collaborates with Command & Conquer veterans on console debut of 8-Bit Armies

Publisher SOEDESCO is working with developer Petroglyph Games on the digital and boxed console debut of 8-Bit Armies. They will also release a boxed PC-version of the popular RTS, which makes me super happy. I miss big box PC games… Anyhow, 8-Bit Armies will also be available in digital console stores and retail this summer.

The Petroglyph team has a rich history in the development of AAA strategy games, with the executive staff and many team members being veterans of Westwood Studios, the creators of Command & Conquer. Since Petroglyph was established it has released various RTS games, such as Grey Goo, Universe at War, and Star Wars: Empire at War. Grey Goo being a title we very much liked!

The boxed and online console version of 8-Bit Armies will include the game and the ‘Guardians Campaign’ DLC. You can check out so of the features of the game below:
