1C Entertainment just dropped a new game trailer for their upcoming cyberpunk RTS, called Re-Legion. Re-Legion is planned to launch in the first quarter of 2019, and will focus on a "highly replayable single player experience," which is a nice change of pace from the deluge of multi-player focused titles that we've seen dominating the market lately.
This top-down, isometric RTS has a rather unique angle as far as the story goes: players assume the role of Elion, a prophet in a futuristic technocratic society where leaders can define their own belief system, convert citizens, and then upgrade them into zealot fighting units to rid the city of non-believers. Elion is a blossoming leader who wants to rid the world of its misery by becoming a prophet. As he increases his influence and power, he converts non-believers into faithful followers, which will result in a very different kind of resource management system, where ordinary people are converted into "Adepts" that help drive the player's ascent towards complete technocratic dominance. Basically, your converts are your units, you can upgrade them using "Crypro Credits", and having them pray to increase their faith will allow them to gain and use special abilities.
The overall direction of the player's cult is determined by the dogmas they choose, which is where the "highly replayable single player experience" comes in. Choose to run a merciful religion, or run one that despises non-believers or choose one of dozens of dogmas that will define the way in which the cult pursues its goals.
Re-Legion will launch in early 2019 for PC.
