Knights in chitin armor: fight for your Queen, the Federation… our Empire

Experience an immersive journey and defend your lands through tactical and strategic battles in an epic, microscopic world.
Play as 103,683rd, an ant of the warrior caste with an inquisitive mind: explore the Federation and fight for it, conquering new territories.
Exploring, strategizing, and forging alliances with the local wildlife will be crucial to emerge victorious from the many challenges lying ahead.

• Unconventional legions with which to wage war
Shape your strategy by choosing your roster wisely: starting, support, and super-predator legions.
Upgrade your nest’s tier to access new and stronger legions. Will you opt for the defensive Snail or the mobility of the Rhino Beetles?

• Special abilities for victory
Scare the enemy away, reinforce your units, or spy on your opponents: your chosen pheromones forge your offensive—or defensive—strategy.

• Conquer and upgrade outposts
Adapt your strategy by building the right chambers: build your economy, manage your legions, gather Information on the battlefield, gain new Powers, or strengthen your Defense.
Not enough space? Conquer other nests to expand your territory and get stronger.

• Dominate the online cross-platform ranked multiplayer
Challenge your friends in thrilling skirmishes or prove your strategy skills in player-versus-player mode: ranked 1-vs.-1 matchmaking and three free-for-all matches. Custom Private Lobby available to train your skills against a friend or AI.

• An immersive solo campaign
Play through a 20-hour-long campaign inspired by Bernard Werber’s bestselling saga, where the fate of your colony rests upon your antennae.
