Independent publisher Slitherine announces imminent release of second instalment in Commander Series.
Slitherine is pleased to announce that Commander: Napoleon at War, a joint production with Firepower Entertainment and The Lordz Games Studio, has gone gold. The game will be released online the 29th September through the company site www.slitherine.com and through distribution partner Matrix Games at www.matrixgames.com.
The game follows the success of Commander: Napoleon at War and is the second game in the Commander series. It is also the second release under the umbrella of the Kameleon Project, created to assist other independent developers to bring their games to market.
‘We are delighted to release Commander: Napoleon at War’ said Iain McNeil, Development Director of Slitherine. ‘It took us well over a year to complete this ambitious project, putting together what we think is a perfect sequel to Commander: Europe at War’s success. We’ve been listening and learning to consumer’s feedback throughout the development cycle and we are proud of the results we achieved. The beta test phase has proved very successful and it’s great to get all the feedback well in advance of release so the out of the box version is fully stable and playable’.
