XR content specialist STOIC Entertainment will officially release 'Apes Warfare,' a turn-based strategy game co-developed with U.S. indie studio GigaQuests, on Steam as version 1.0 on April 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM. This official launch marks the end of a five-month early access period, during which the game was refined based on player feedback to deliver a more polished and strategic experience to a global audience.

Inspired by the classic strategy game 'Advance Wars,' Apes Warfare reinterprets grid-based tactical systems with a modern sensibility. While maintaining fast-paced gameplay and intuitive controls, it offers deep strategic depth where every turn's decision directly impacts the outcome. The full version introduces a campaign mode featuring 35 missions and a new Domination mode focused on large-scale battles, adding further variety to the gameplay.

Key features include a map editor that allows users to design their own battlefields and a global leaderboard for competing against players worldwide. The game also offers diverse environments—such as jungles, volcanoes, and snowy plains—where terrain characteristics affect combat and movement, requiring players to adapt their strategies accordingly. The development team has focused on building an optimized environment through system refinements, including improved AI, enhanced controls, and unit balance adjustments.

The STOIC Entertainment development team has actively evolved the game by incorporating community feedback collected through channels such as Steam, Discord, and Reddit. Following the official launch, the team plans to continue supporting user-generated content (UGC) and providing regular updates to foster a long-term strategy game ecosystem that grows alongside its players. In particular, the expanded War Arena mode and multiplayer-exclusive maps are expected to maximize replayability.

The official launch price for Apes Warfare is ₩12,000 ($14.99 USD), with a 10% special discount available for a limited time to celebrate the release. The game is available to play now via the Steam store, where users can experience a wide range of content from single-player campaigns to global competition. Detailed information and future update news can be found on the official Steam page and related community channels.
