Arc Games and Snapshot Games have together announced the release date for upcoming action-strategy title Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids, and it’s soon.
Snapshot Games includes a rather major name in the industry, the creator of X-COM, Julian Gollop. Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids is coming to PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), as well as PlayStation and Xbox, and it’ll even be a lower priced title, at £24.99, with a 10% launch discount across all platforms. The release date, then, is August 26th.
It’s a co-op game as well as an RTS title, so you can play PvP or co-op online. Oh and it’ll also include cross play if one of you is on PC and the other on Xbox or something, which is nice. Even better, it’s going to have a Friend’s Pass at launch, meaning there will be a “free” version you can download to play with people who have purchased the full game, similar to how titles like It Takes Two and Split Fiction works.
“We’re thrilled to reveal that Chip ‘n Clawz will be launching pretty soon and that we’re able to include a Friend’s Pass at launch,” said Julian Gollop, CEO of Snapshot Games. “With Chip ‘n Clawz, we designed it to be a true cooperative multiplayer action RTS adventure as we wanted to make a pickup and play strategy game that could be easily enjoyed with friends, loved ones and fellow strategy fans online and offline on any platform. We can’t wait for players to jump into Chip ‘n Clawz and see players jumping into it with a friend anytime, anywhere thanks to Friend’s Pass and cross platform play right at launch.”
