Crossfire: Legion, the modern, action-filled, Real Time Strategy game – with a respectful nod to classic games that defined the genre – launches today in Early Access.

Set in the near future of the Crossfire universe, where society is crumbling and the world is consumed by corporate conflicts, three rival factions fight for the domination of their ideologies.

With 45 units to choose from (Air / Ground Assault, Transport, Infantry etc.) and 6 unique Commanders, players must raise and customise their army, manage resources, consolidate their positions, and push forward to dominate the map!

In addition to the strong narrative campaign that will evolve through Early Access, the game will test players’ competitive and strategic skills through a larger roster of units and Commanders. Each Commander brings special abilities to the battlefield that can help turn the tide of battle. Knowing how to make the most of them, but also how to counter them, will be essential to prevail in the many multiplayer modes.

UGC tools and ESL-backed competitive tournaments will also be introduced at a later date in development and are expected to play a key role in energising the community.

“Crossfire: Legion is a classically inspired Real Time Strategy game at its heart. What makes it stand out are the magic touches of macro-strategy with army, map, and game customisation” Maurice Grela, Game Designer at Blackbird Interactive said. “We are excited to finally bring it to Early Access and can’t wait to hear what players who grew up with RTS or are just (re)discovering the genre think of it. We missed those kinds of games and designed Crossfire: Legion with them in mind!”
