'Edge of Chaos' Announced, Kickstarter Planned - Screens & Trailer

Edge of Chaos is a next-gen fantasy real-time strategy game, featuring story and gameplay situated in a meaningful and rewritten world with a deeply moving and exciting campaign.

Edge of Chaos strives on evoking a sense of peril while staying authentic and believable to medieval history and folklore as well Anglo-Saxon and Celtic myths and superstitions.

Our goal is to bring an RTS renaissance and deliver a game that players have been longing for.

"We are proud to say that we have already built a significant foundation for the game including lore and tech like next-gen pathfinding solution systems for RTS, multi-level pathfinding, a fully destructible environment system and more. Based on our art direction and necessary custom tech, we have chosen Unreal Engine as our game render engine. We are super excited to share all of our work in a more polished state, which is what we are currently working on in order to progress further working on the campaign; 3D assets, fine illustration, music, VFX, physics driven animations and much more.
How we present this title and its quality / potential is extremely important to us."

"We are fans of particularly Warcraft: Orcs and Humans for its early darker, grittier feel compared to its successors. Warcraft 3: is one of Blizzard’s RTS masterpieces. We thought that shifting the attention to hero units and their contribution to the battlefield was a fantastic ideas as it gave birth to an even further genre; all this while being driven by a meaningful story and fantasy world. "

"Age of Empires 2 is a big inspiration for us. AoE2 took the scope, scale and depth of the genre to new heights."

"We loved Battle for Middle Earth for introducing palpable physical combat in everything from cavalry charges to the summoning of Balrogs and ground-breaking RTS vfx for its time."

"In terms of strategic aspects of the genre, Company of Heroes is our top pick. The introduction of real destructible terrain and buildings alongside solid, sophisticated physics-based combat in the form of artillery, tanks and explosive shells are something that we want to continue exploring in our Edge of Chaos title."

A release date is not yet set, but Purgatory Studio is planning to launch a kickstarter campaign early 2019 with early access keys available for the corresponding Kickstarter campaign backers who have pledged for a tier which offers early access.
