Confrontation Announced - PC Real Time Strategy Game Based On The Table Top Game

Focus Home Interactive announced that they will be publishing a PC game adaptation of the table top tactical fantasy game of the same name. Developed by Cyanide Studios, the team that did Blood Bowl and the upcoming The Game Of Thrones(also very little info on that game), the press release describes Confrontation as a real time strategy game with classic role playing elements. The press release also has this insightful line “Confrontation challenges players to lead a squad of elite soldiers, helping them evolve into a unit that is equal parts brain and brawn. Recruit, develop and equip your squadron and the powerful allies that fight by your side” which leads me to believe they will be following the Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II model of RTS Relic has built. Squad based real time missions with RPG mechanics(no base building), that’s my best guess. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one. Releases in Q4 2011. Official press release below and 2 screenshots…

PC ADAPTATION OF CLASSIC BOARD GAME CONFRONTATION REVEALED WITH FIRST OFFICIAL IMAGES!

Focus Home Interactive is pleased to unveil the first images of Confrontation, the video game adaptation of the fantasy miniature wargame by Rackham. Developed exclusively for PC by Cyanide Studio (Blood Bowl & A Game of Thrones), Confrontation is an incredible real-time strategy game with the classic role playing elements that have made the series popular on a global scale.

The game is set in the fantastic and original universe of Confrontation, Aarklash. As the Age of Rag'narok is approaching, four factions are fighting for their own cause and struggling for domination over the land: the brutal Orcs of the Tree-Spirit, the ferocious Wolfen packs, the fearsome Griffon warriors or the terrifying creatures of the Scorpion.

With a core focus on strategy, Confrontation challenges players to lead a squad of elite soldiers, helping them evolve into a unit that is equal parts brain and brawn. Recruit, develop and equip your squadron and the powerful allies that fight by your side; establish new strategies to destroy your enemies! Careful management of your units, their powers and equipment, as well as clever use of your environment will get you through near-death situations and lead you to epic victory!

Confrontation will be available for PC in Q4 2011.
