Battle Brothers Porting to PlayStation and Xbox in Early 2022
November 23, in the year of our Lord 2021 -- Ukiyo
Publishing and Overhype Studios announced today that the lauded
turn-based strategy RPG Battle Brothers is coming to PlayStation and
Xbox consoles in Early 2022. Battle Brothers comes to Sony and
Microsoft consoles (PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series X) after its recent
release on Nintendo Switch earlier this year.
Battle Brothers is a turn-based strategy RPG mix which has you
leading a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy
world. You decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight, what
contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a
procedurally generated open world campaign. The game consists of a
strategic worldmap and a tactical combat layer. On the worldmap you
can freely travel in order to take contracts that earn you good
coin, find places worth looting, enemies worth pursuing or towns to
resupply and hire men at. This is also where you manage, level up
and equip your Battle Brothers. Once you engage a hostile party the
game will switch to a tactical map where the actual fighting takes
place as detailed turn-based combat.
