PlaySide Studios’ intense, dark fantasy RTS Age of Darkness: Final Stand has left Early Access and has now officially launched into 1.0. This full launch also sees the arrival of the highly anticipated Multiplayer mode, allowing players to team up in co-op for the very first time. Watch the new trailer below to see what the game has to offer.
Age of Darkness: Final Stand pits players against the Never-Ending Evil, a mass of souls that rampage in the darkness. As the last line of defence against this nightmarish threat, players will cut a path through this darkness using light, fire and courage. PlaySide’s internally developed “SwarmTech” will mean players will face up to 70,000 enemy units at once and will need to claw back territory from what is known as ‘The Veil’.
The game’s new multiplayer mode will allow players to join a friend and work together to face the onslaught of these relentless enemies. In this new co-op mode, players can share Blessings and trading resources and will be able to fight alongside each other against Elite Nightmares to ensure they survive the brutal Death Nights.
The full launch of Age of Darkness: Final Stand features:
- A fully voiced story-driven campaign that takes place over 10 chapters.

- Award-winning SwarmTech Technology, allowing the game to render over 70,000 enemy units on the screen at any one time.
