'They Are Billions' Campaign Next Week, Comes To PS4 and Xbox One Next Month - Trailer

by Rainier on June 6, 2019 @ 9:25 a.m. PDT

They Are Billions is a strategy game where you build human colonies to survive in a post-apocalyptic planet where billions of the infected try to annihilate the few remaining living humans.

They Are Billions is a strategy game in a distant future about building and managing human colonies after a zombie apocalypse destroyed almost all of human kind. Now there are only a few thousand humans left alive that must struggle to survive under the threat of the infection. Billions of infected roam around the world in massive swarms seeking the last living human colonies

They Are Billions mixes a world where the zombie apocalypse has taken over the planet and throws it into a Steampunk / Victorian setting.

Prevent the infection from spreading into your colony and its inhabitants. Once a building is infected, the workers turn, rabidly spreading the infection further. And just when you think it is safe, thousands more come in hordes to wipe out your colony - each with individualized AI.

The They Are Billions Campaign will be available on June 18th.

The campaign will, of course be included free with the current game, and also it will be available in the 12 languages currently supported by They Are Billions.

Along with the campaign, two new scenarios will be unlocked for the Survival mode: The Deep Forest and The Caustic Lands.

  • As The Deep Forest is the most accessible, it will now be the first scenario available, so that new players’ first contact with They Are Billions is not so brutal.
  • The Caustic Lands, on the contrary, will be the hardest of all the maps. The most dangerous infected live here and you’ll face the Doom Colony that can occupy up to 30% of the map. Scary

In addition, the rest of the scenarios have been modified in the level of difficulty and include new dangers...

They Are Billions will launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this July!

The BlitWorks team were so addicted to They Are Billions that they themselves became infected. The infection spread like wildfire and soon zombie developers started trying to get the infection across onto Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. 

They worked intensively on the superb RTS to achieve a great performance as well as adapting the game to be played with a controller or added mouse and keyboard support. The swarms finally got what they wanted; They Are Billions will be reaching Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this July.

Only a small population of humans remain alive. Grow your colony and fight through the billions of zombies left on the planet.

They Are Billions Game Features:

  • Survival Strategy Game - The aim of the game is to build a successful colony and survive for a specific period of time against billions of zombie enemies. Build walls, gates, towers, and structures to protect yourself. Train your army and contract the best mercenaries to protect the colony. Management of your resources and forces is the key to survival!
  • Real Time with Pause - While They Are Millions is a Real Time Strategy game, It comes with the ability for players to pause the game at any time. With the game paused, players can focus on making the best strategic decisions, giving them a layer of control missing from most RTS games.
