14 DAY TRIAL // Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, the strategy game from Palindrome Interactive will finally come out of the slumber on August 28, publisher Kalypso Media revealed today. The game will be released on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, but a closed beta is now available to those who pre-purchase the game via the Kalypso Store, and the Microsoft Store via Xbox Game Preview.
Palindrome's upcoming game plays like a Civilization title: empire management meets turn-based vampiric combat. Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is set in a dark vampire world (duh) in turmoil and features a compelling story spanning across 12 challenging missions and four unique environments.
The game lets you take command of one of the three unique vampire clans with distinctive units, powers, gameplay mechanics, and characters: Dracul, Moroia and Nosfernus. Each clan and vampire lord has access to their own set of abilities, which can be synergized into powerful combinations.
The ancient Dracul bloodline rules over the mysterious lands of Warmont – Realm of the Bloodthrone. Inside the secluded borders of this land, an unholy court of vampires feasts on the blood of their human subjects. A vicious peace between mortal and immortal is kept alive under the watchful eye of the vampiric rulers - Vlad and Cecilia Dracul, forever bound by eternal love.
To the east, a cold wind blows over the desolate planes of Mourterra – The Land of the Dead. No humans live on this barren and cursed soil, and yet the land is far from deserted. Horrifying remnants of the ancient and corrupt Nosfernus bloodline stalk here in silence, patiently waiting for their chance to once again plague the lands of the living.
Meanwhile, in Esain - The Frozen North, another bloodline of vampires resides in solitude and isolation from the world. For the mystical clan of the Moroia, magic is blood, and blood is magic and it runs thick in their cold, blue veins.
Last but not least, players will be able to enjoy two other gameplay modes besides the story-driven campaign: Sandbox (open-world) and Skirmish (challenging).
