A modern, simian-powered twist on classic turn-based tactics from former Call of Duty developers.
Los Angeles, CA, United States – November 3, 2025 – Indie studios GigaQuests and Stoic Entertainment are thrilled to announce that their debut title, Apes Warfare, will launch into Steam Early Access on November 25, 2025!
Inspired by Nintendo’s beloved Advance Wars, Apes Warfare reimagines classic, grid-based tactical combat with bold new ideas, modern design, and a playful sense of chaos. Developed by industry veterans (including former Call of Duty developers), the game blends accessible, fast-paced strategy with deep tactical decision-making.
Players will command a powerful simian army in a tongue-in-cheek war against humanity, fighting through challenging story missions and dynamic multiplayer battles that reward both quick thinking and long-term strategy.
A Modern Evolution of Turn-Based Strategy
Lead your ape army to victory across beautifully designed, grid-based battlefields. Capture enemy bases, command diverse units, and adapt to ever-changing terrain and weather conditions. Apes Warfare is easy to learn but hard to master, a love letter to the strategy genre’s roots, reimagined for today’s players.
- Unique Combat Units: Command a variety of units, each with its own abilities and specialties. Experiment with combinations to discover new tactics and playstyles.
- Diverse Terrains: Forests, jungles, mountains, and urban environments all shape the flow of battle, while fun terrain types like lava fields, icy plains, and whirlpool zones keep the action fresh and unpredictable. Master positioning and environmental effects to outsmart your foes and claim victory.
- Whimsical Art Style: A vibrant world combining 2D charm and 3D depth. Colourful designs and expressive characters bring every battle to life.
Early Access and Community Involvement
By joining Apes Warfare in Early Access, players will help shape the future development of the game, providing valuable feedback as the team continues to refine and expand the experience. During this period, the developers will release new gameplay content, quality-of-life updates, and community-driven improvements, ensuring that Apes Warfare continues to evolve with player input.
