Third mysterious faction revealed
Sydney, Australia, February 22, 2022 Prime Matter and Smilegate announce Crossfire: Legion – the upcoming real time strategy (RTS) game featuring tactical action in furious battles across a shattered version of the near future – is now available to experience as part of the Steam Next Fest.
Battle across three challenging maps in diverse settings, choose one of three factions and take control of their unique commander!
Fans of the game know about two of the factions already, but today marks the unveiling of the third faction – New Horizon – a global syndicate of corporations intent on transcending the limitations of humanity through the advancement, implementation and integration of A.I. technology within all aspects of society.
Complimenting (or should that be combating) New Horizon are the other factions:
- Global Risk – a mercenary organisation commissioned by world governments to settle global cases and disputes while maintaining their control over the planet’s resources.
- Black List – a secretive break-away mercenary group by members disillusioned with the corrupt policies of Global Risk.
RTS afficionados – and newcomers to the genre – will be able to jump right in and feel the adrenaline rush of conflict.
