We have news, glorious news! Just ahead of Steam Next Fest, which is next week - as I'm sure you know, we've made the first public demo of It Takes a War available.

I say 'demo'. It's a short standalone experience, Director's Commentary and Training Ground for the full game all rolled into one. The 3-5 minute experience is a prelude to the main game, and if you've played Thomas'interactive trailer for THE CORRIDOR - will be somewhat familiar.

Jump in - the demo is live right now.

Hold Position! There's more!

On October 23rd we have the legendary Angry Shark Gamer going hands on with the game for a WORLD EXCLUSIVE first look at It Takes a War's team-based combat. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!

We'll have other bits and pieces unfolding over the course of Next Fest, too. So See you then x
