Ashes of the Singularity II launches on Steam with three factions and online co-op

Ashes of the Singularity II launched on PC via Steam on November 10. The sequel to the 2016 strategy game sends huge armies across contested worlds. Oxide Games puts the emphasis on logistics, terrain and planning. You can pull back to see how the battle is developing, then zoom in on the front where your forces need attention.

Which factions can you play?

The single-player campaign follows a commanding officer in the United Earth Forces. Skirmish and multiplayer let you play all three sides: Earth, the machine armies of the AI Substrate, and the Post-Human Coalition. Steam lists both online co-op and online PvP, so you can play with friends without having to face them across the map.

What to check before buying

Steam lists Spanish from Spain and Portuguese from Portugal for the interface and subtitles. English is the only listed full-audio option, and Steam Deck compatibility was marked Unknown during this check. The store page includes a trailer and lists adjustable text size, adjustable difficulty and the option to save at any time.

Stardock announced a 20% launch discount from November 10 to 17. Its reference US prices before that offer are US$39.99 for the standard edition and US$69.99 for Premium, which includes the first three DLC packs and soundtrack. Local storefront pricing can differ.
