“Command your insect legions in epic battles”.

One of the games from our November 2024 Xbox releases roundup that we’ve been keeping an eye on, but haven’t really delved into here at Pure Xbox, is Empire of the Ants. This is described as a “photorealistic, third-person real-time strategy game” in which it’s your job to lead an army and compete in battles throughout a microscopic world.

There’s a lot to like about this game on paper, such as its beautiful Unreal Engine 5 graphics, its potential for epic “tactical and strategic” conquests, and the fact that it supports both solo play and online multiplayer with others.
