Following the Public Beta, a few months ago, we received tons of feedback from beta-testers. It’s a great feeling for us to know that so many of you enjoyed the game basics and balance as well as the introduction of innovative features such as the zoom ability and the deception cards. At the same time we inherited a big challenge because of the amount of requests and suggestions the team received.

Thus, back in April, we made the hard but necessary decision to postpone the game to September in order to utilize this worthy feedback and ultimately, ensure that this game would meet the highest expectations of the R.U.S.E. supportive fan base.

Well… it’s been a while since then, and we’re now pleased to present to you many of the final changes brought to the game in this video broadcast, featuring Mathieu Girard and Alexis Le Dressay, Senior Producer and Creative Director of the game. (The video is long – it explains what we’ve been working on during the past months – but you can directly jump to the part that interests you the most by using the buttons at the end of the introduction.)

If that wasn’t enough, we’re absolutely thrilled to let you guys know that you’ll be able to try these improvements during a 5 days Free Multiplayer Weekend starting July, 15th on Steam! You will be able to pre-download the game as soon as today, and more information will come regarding the content and game modes available, so keep an eye on R.U.S.E.’s Community Developer twitter (www.twitter.com/UbiLeak) to get the info as soon as it appears. Thanks for your support and enjoy the game!

What is RUSE?

R.U.S.E™ is a one-of-a-kind real-time strategy game that allows players to bluff their enemies to lead their nation to victory, controlling the action using views that range seamlessly from the heart of the battlefield to the full theatre of war. Players will be plunged into the action thanks to the exclusive IRISZOOM® engine which offers an intuitive interface that allows for smooth, rapid transitions from a birds-eye view of the entire conflict, down into the heat of the battle and vice versa.

In R.U.S.E, your brain is your ultimate weapon as you fight a war of perception, where your ability to deceive and mislead your enemy determines success. A first in a strategy game, R.U.S.E reinvigorates the genre by using deception to give new-found depth to the gameplay.
