'Battlezone 98 Redux' Rolls Out The Red Odyssey DLC - Trailer

by Rainier on July 25, 2016 @ 3:13 p.m. PDT

Battlezone 98 Redux is a remake of the 1998 FPS and RTS hybrid.

Enter an alternate vision of the 1960s where the “space race” is nothing more than a cover for an interplanetary war between the US and Soviet Russia over mysterious alien bio-metals.

Take command of an army of sleek heavy assault tanks, strike cruisers, APCs and more, and wreak havoc with super-heated projectiles in your mission to blast your enemy from the face of the Moon, Mars, Venus, Titan, IO and Europa.

Scavenge the battlefields for crucial bio-metals, deploy powerful defenses, construct advanced facilities and escalate each battle to an epic confrontation.

Revolutionary, revitalised and remastered, Battlezone 98 Redux’s blend of thrilling first person action and tense RTS gameplay is as essential now as it ever was.

The Red Odyssey expands Battlezone’s alternative space-race lore with two new factions - The NSDF Black Dogs and the Chinese Red Army – as they fight a deadly campaign of vehicular warfare and cloaked ambushes to control powerful portal technology linking our solar system to the mysterious exoplanet of Elysium ...

  • Two new singleplayer campaigns across two planets and 23 missions
