Ahead of the game’s release later this Spring, Kalypso Media and developer Palindrome Interactive have released Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars onto Xbox One Game Preview. This follows the previous closed beta on PC, which is available for all pre-purchase customers on Steam.
Speaking of which, the 20% off pre-puchase option on Steam is available until March 20th, which should give you a clue as to when the game will eventually be released.
Both the Game Preview and Steam beta versions of the game have been updated with a bunch of enhancements and fixes that dramatically improve the gameplay experience:
- New battle maps for each biome, taking the total number of unique battlegrounds to 16
- New mechanic: battle status effects, which affect all armies on the battlefield. Eight different effects with three levels of strength each
- New mechanic: capture points, including watch towers and healing points
- Lords will now earn skills as they level up
- Upgradable buildings now have four different visual variations depending on which upgrades have been applied
- New province effects, such as mana regen when ending a turn on a library
- New camera options in kingdom mode and fullscreen 2D map
On top of the update and Xbox Game Preview release, Palindrome Interactive have also released a new trailer for the game. Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars will also be headed to the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
