Iron Harvest Lives; New Single-player Mode Announced
King Art Games has announced that Iron Harvest will soon receive an update with an extensive new mode for single player gameplay.
Soon it will be two years since the launch of the RTS Iron Harvest but KING Art Games, the studio responsible for the game does not stop working on its development.
Iron Harvest will receive a new gameplay mode
The team has revealed plans for the next major update.
- The patch will introduce a new single-player mode, called World Map Campaign.
- In it we will have to conquer a huge strategic map, divided into territories.
- Players will decide which battles to undertake and gradually develop the power of their faction.
- The mode will offer several scenarios and highly customizable starting conditions, and will be designed to be replayable without feeling bored.
- The World Map Campaign will launch with a single map, but more maps are planned for release at a later date.
- The update should be released next month.
The World Map Campaign mode seems to be a good idea as it will provide more fun for single players. Community multiplayer of Iron Harvest is currently quite modest (yesterday's activity record on Steam was just 290 people), so expanding the single-player option seems to be the right way to go.
Iron Harvest was released on September 1, 2020. The game was initially available only on PC, but last year it received ports on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. In 2021, the game has seen the release of its first DLC, in the form of Operation Eagle.
The game was partially funded through Kickstarter and the developers have just sent out the final rewards for backers. Thus, they fulfilled all the promises from the crowdfunding campaign.
