The turn-based strategy game was previously launched as a PC exclusive in February. When previously asked about the reasoning behind a solely PC release, the game’s Creative Director, Jake Soloman said, “Our expertise here is PC. That’s our home, and that’s where we’re really comfortable.” However, he also did not rule out the possibility of a console release at the time.
The game will drop on September 6, 2016 in North America and September 9, 2016 internationally.
