Stardock Entertainment has launched Ashes of the Singularity 2, a sci-fi real-time strategy game developed by Oxide Games, on Steam, alongside a gameplay trailer. The Standard Edition is priced at 5,650 yen, and the Deluxe Edition at 9,850 yen; both versions are available at a 20% discount until November 17, bringing the prices down to 4,520 yen and 7,880 yen respectively.
This sequel arrives ten years after its 2016 predecessor, set in the near-future solar system following the technological singularity. The Post-Human Coalition, the Substrate (a machine civilization established by self-aware AI), and the newly joined United Earth Forces will vie for dominance over the solar system.
Players can lead the United Earth Forces to reclaim lost territory in the single-player campaign, or choose from three factions to engage in skirmishes, online multiplayer, or co-op modes. Each faction features unique units and tactics, with continent-scale battlefields capable of hosting thousands of infantry, armored vehicles, and colossal war machines simultaneously. Strategic zoom allows seamless switching between orbital overview and frontline close-ups.
Terrain features such as frozen lakes, mountains, and lava canyons affect combat, while battles themselves can reshape the landscape. Players must consider legion composition, supply lines, and advance routes. The Deluxe Edition includes three DLC packs planned for future release, along with the original soundtrack. Currently, the game interface and subtitles support Japanese.
