Featuring a score by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Tin (Civilisation IV and Offworld Trading Company), Mohawk Games’ Early Access title will see a full launch soon.
In Old World, players will select themselves as a historical leader to compete with others for dominance. That naturally comes through the way of land, wealth and resources, and you can take down your rivals too.
Key features in Old World include:
- An innovative new Orders system: Orders are a resource players use to command their units as they see fit, unlike traditional 4X games which limit every unit to one move each turn. Giving players control of who can take an action and how many times adds a new layer of strategy to the genre.
- Narrative-driven events: With a focus on rich narrative and a dynamic story generation engine, Old World features events inspired by real history where the decisions you make have a meaningful impact on the game.
- Real leaders: Old World features a selection of seven real-life leaders including Cyrus of Persia, Ashurbanipal of Assyria, and Dido of Carthage. Every year is a turn, so these leaders will give way to their descendants as the game progresses.
- Engaging scenarios: Beyond the standard game on random maps, players can also play in the ancient Mediterranean or in scenarios with special conditions based on historical accounts.
- Flexible multiplayer: Old World supports a wide variety of multiplayer modes, including asynchronous, play-by-cloud, hotseat, team games, scenarios, and a variety of turn speeds and styles.

Currently available in Early Access, Old World goes to the full release on the Epic Games Store from the 1st July 2021.
