Earth is destroyed but life still lingers and the player’s goal is simple... Make it out alive and help humanity survive.

It's the year 117 After Earth, and corporations rush to secure dominance over the last remnants of humanity. It's up to you to take command of your squad, fight the powers that be, and find a cure to the virus that threatens to end mankind.

Plan your strategy, then infiltrate a real-time tactical battlefield, alone or with up to 7 squad members. Can you show cunning in combat to stay alive, and fight for the future of humankind?

Across both a deep strategy layer and engaging real-time combat missions, you'll need to think on your feet to survive in this hostile world and determine the fate of the planet. Choose your mission, design your load-out, then take to the battlefield and lead your squad to victory. Playable in single-player or with up to seven friends, ​The Red Solstice 2: Survivors combines tense claustrophobic action with careful strategic planning to create a sci-fi experience like no other.

Ironward  announce that alpha sign-ups for The Red Solstice 2: Survivors are now open.

To join the fight players will need to sign-up to the mailing list to get alpha access and stand against the insidious virus that threatens to consume the universe.

The Red Solstice 2: Survivors lead developer, Hrvoje Horvatek said: "One of my favourite movies of all time is Aliens and the idea of creating a game that embodies this, with the right feeling, is something that always inspired me.

After playing the Night of the Dead map mod for Warcraft 3 I first caught a glimpse of that atmosphere I had imagined, and this inspired me to create my own mod for Warcraft 3, Night of the Dead: Special Ops, which became hugely popular at the time and ultimately led to the creation of The Red Solstice franchise."

Ironward’s focus with The Red Solstice 2: Survivors is iterating on the tight corridor combat of the original further to create what they truly believe is a great leap in claustrophobic isometric gameplay. Coupled with a focus on improved combat is the deep mood set by the sci-fi alien homage prevalent in design and a completely new layer of the strategy tools players will use in-game; adding technology development, resource collection, and world map combat mission choices.
