Chinese game studio Old Archives Studio has released a free DEMO version of its strategy game "Red Epic" on the Steam platform. The full version of the game is slated for release in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The game is set against the backdrop of the historical Long March undertaken by the Red Army during the Chinese Civil War, blending tower defense and real-time strategy (RTS) mechanics. Developers emphasize a commitment to historical accuracy in events and geography, aiming for 1:1 scale in game maps.
"Red Epic" utilizes the Unreal Engine and employs high-fidelity geographic data for terrain generation. While AI was used to assist in creating certain UI elements, character models, and background assets, all generated material underwent significant manual refinement to align with the game's visual style.
The current DEMO offers single-player content and is available for free download on Steam. The projected release window for the full game in late 2026 suggests ongoing development, with the DEMO providing an early look at the game's mechanics.
