After tintinThey are The ants that Microids is about to launch into the field of video games. The French publisher unveiled on Tuesday the first images of the adaptation of Bernard Werber’s bestseller that will be released next year.
Roche studio Tower Five was chosen to capture in pixels the story of an amazing heritage, an ant colony and the mysterious disappearances that occur.
Be an ant in exploration
The ants promises a strategic experience inspired by Bernard Werber’s saga in three volumes. Basically it will revolve around the world of ants and you will have to make your colony prosper, explore, fight and forge alliances with the local fauna to make your power speak and face the challenges.
In the third person view, the 3D game puts the player in the position of an ant with its own abilities for combat and exploration. The narrative follows the rhythm of the seasons, with adapted mechanics and game maps that evolve according to the time of day.
The Microids title will benefit from a design under Unreal Engine 5 to be even more beautiful, with even more realistic flora and environments thanks to photorealistic effects. The one from the Ile-de-France forest was also chosen.
The Ants will be available on all platforms in 2024.
