Ara: History Untold is the new 4x turn based game which was announced during this year's Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase.
I'm really interested to see what new things it will bring to the grand strategy genre. According to the article on PCGamer, it is being developed by Oxide Games, a studio founded by Firaxis and EA veterans.
Trailer didn't show any gameplay, but it touches the idea of leading your culture from ancient times to modern era. Also, it is voiced by the Shohreh Aghdashloo!
So guys, what do you think about this game? What features would you like to see? Like I said, I'm really interested in this game. Looks like a worthy competitor to the Civilization, Humankind and the Old World!
EDIT: Some nice pics and more information about the game can be found on the official website!
I'd really like to see some gameplay or mechanics before I start getting hyped about it. Although I do like the devs on it my expectations are pretty tepid overall until I see more.
The trailer's interesting, glad to see the genre getting new perspectives, even if it's from vets, although judging by Steam page screenshots I'm not so sure it will be direct competition for either Civ or HK.
They have their own testing programme for externals. First round already happened and second one should be coming. From that I can personally say it has a few interesting new takes that keep things pretty interesting - era progression and production system, technology to some extent too. Not all perfect there yet, but if you liked some of the Civ: Colonisation mechanics on a larger scale this could be interesting for you.
