Greeting Commanders,
Very happy to share with you guys that we are going to launch Art of War: Red Tides on App Store in 154 countries and regions on September 29th. But sadly, both publisher and developer team still haven’t reconciled with the policies on different platforms. In other words, Commanders from Steam are not able to play against Commanders using iOS devices for the time being.
As we mentioned many times, our intention of making Red Tides is to break the barrier of each platform, so that Commanders from around the world can enjoy playing together on any devices they are comfortable with, and at any time. Technically speaking, we already have the game working on iPad, smart phones, and PC internally. So we definitely aware that Commanders are anxious regard to this situation, and we share the same feeling too.
That being said, since we can’t really estimate the time that will cost to reconcile with those policies, so before the cross-platform play is ready, the dev team will commit to these:
- Make sure that Steam has the newest version among all platforms
- Value the game development process of each platform as the same priority
- Put more efforts on the server performance and connection
- Maintain our community management and respond to bug reports and feedback in time
- Send out 500 gems each month via in-game mailbox, until the cross-platform play is ready
Both developer and publisher team will maintain actively communication to each platform. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience, if there is any progress we will be sure to inform you.
