What better way to release a player-driven game, than to let your community launch it?
ISOTX, developer and publisher of the award-winning Iron Grip-series, today announced that the upcoming episodic online multiplayer strategy game March of War will launch as soon as the March of War Facebook page hits 100,000 likes.
Not only does the community shape the March of War universe, they now determine when to start the War. Through the 100,000 like Facebook campaign, ISOTX is relinquishing control and putting it into the hands of their fans! On top of shaping the games alternate WWII universe, players now even have the power to unleash the war on Steam and the official March of War website.
“It was the most logical approach to launching March of War,” says Vincent van Geel, Creative Director at ISOTX. “Our players are the ones who will drive the story of our game, so why not let them start it too?”
Throughout the campaign we will constantly be gifting exclusive goodies to the fans who want to be part of this unique experience. When the goal of 100,000 likes is reached, fans will officially release March of War.
