Rubicon going all out for Great Big War Game sequel Ultimate War Game

Rubicon has just announced that it's working on another War Game 3-D turn-based strategy title. Although technically a sequel to Great Big War Game (released in 2012), the new game is a follow-up to Great Little War Game 2 (released just last month, trailer below), the sequel to the original Great Little War Game (released in 2011). Rubicon reveals that the upcoming game is the final installment in its War Game franchise. As such, the game has been given the rather ambitious name of Ultimate War Game. Ultimate War Game comes as a sort of "one last job" for Rubicon, which admits that Great Little War Game 2 hasn't been faring well among non-casual fans of the franchise:

We released Great Little War Game 2 recently, to a mixed response. We stripped the game down to basics and simplified everything to try and reach a more casual audience. This largely worked, but our regular fans were less impressed, which we should’ve seen coming. I think we simply should’ve called this one Casual Little War Game, but it’s done now.

• New campaign with more involved and longer objectives
• Much improved AI
• Base Building
• Bigger maps
• Tons of skirmish maps
• Yes, base building
• Random map generator + editor built in
• 1v1 and 2v2 async multiplayer with 5 minute or 24 hour turns
• Tons more stuff

We'll let you know of any more information regarding Ultimate War Game as it becomes available. In the meantime, you can check out Rubicon's existing War Game titles on the App Store: Great Big War Game for $2.99, Great Little War Game for $0.99, and Great Little War Game 2 for $2.99.
