Battle Worlds: Kronos release planned for mid-November, open-beta a few weeks earlier

Thanks to my photographic memory (read: access to the internet), I can point you to the last time we scouted turn-based strategy Battle Worlds: Kronos . That was in March, when the Kickstarter project hit its funding goal. It subsequently went on to more than double the £120,000 target, finishing on $260,235. Now the developers are drawing out their battle plans, and have picked a mid-November date for the game's release.

According to the Joystiq , the game will be made through the developer's website , as well as GOG and Steam - having successfully conquered the Greenlight battlefield. While a price is yet to be confirmed, the studio say they are planning to keep it under $30.

An open beta is also planned for the hex-based wargame. That should be available from late October, a few weeks before launch.

For more on the game, check out the latest two development diaries posted by developer KING Art:

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
