We're putting the finishing touches to Co-Op Multiplayer. It’s currently in closed beta but we should be releasing it mid-June!
In this huge new update, play with a friend or quick match to stabilise multiple regions simultaneously, use new and powerful initiatives to combat the insurgency and combine the abilities of governors to support each other through to victory!
Some of the technical bits and bobs have taken longer to sort out than we hoped but we have used the extra time to add in a very cool Co-Op Campaign mode to progress with a friend :)
Can't wait to play it? We're running a closed beta on our Discord right now! Join for a sneak peek.
We're hard at work on lots of cool and exciting updates for Rebel Inc: Escalation and we wanted to give everyone an idea of what to expect and when! Please note - we are working on multiple different things in parallel so the actual order of release might change a bit if things are easier/harder than expected. Dates are not final!
Next Updates
New Region
A brand new region which sees players dealing with rampant opium production. This should be out by the end of March.
Stats & Progression
See your achievements and career as a governor so far! Giving you a detailed view, how many wins? How much money have you spent? How many refugees have you saved? It's all here. This may end up coming after Co-Op.
Co-Op Multiplayer
Play with your friend and bring about a new golden age of peace to your regions! This should be out by the end of April.
Scenario Creator
Who said nation building was hard? Develop your own custom scenarios with unique strategic challenges and narratives then share them with Steam Workshop. What will you make?
VS Multiplayer
Compete against the world, use covert tricks or vicious shock and awe to establish your own agenda!
And More!
Once we've completed these, we will continue to support Rebel Inc: Escalation with lots of new regions, governors, scenarios and maybe even a few surprises in future (free!) updates.
Building these updates is a huge challenge, we're working hard on it and can't wait to share what we've got in store!
