Overview
Description

Set in the year 2140, Earth 2140 pits the United Civilized States against the Eurasian Dynasty in a desperate struggle for scarce resources after centuries of war and environmental collapse. Command hundreds of ground units, mechs, aircraft, and ships across over 50 missions, supported by advanced AI and full HD resolution.

Original War is a real‑time strategy game that blends science‑fiction and historical warfare. Players command elite forces sent two million years into the past to mine the alien mineral Siberite and secure a new energy source for the United States. The narrative explores a divergent timeline where America becomes the sole superpower thanks to this inexhaustible power. The game features single‑player campaigns, multiplayer battles, and cooperative missions, letting players experience tactical combat, resource management, and time‑bending strategies across icy landscapes and alien technology. Developed by ALTAR Games and published by Bohemia Interactive Studio, Original War offers a unique mix of RTS depth and speculative history.
