Empire of the Ants is an upcoming game adaptation of Bernard Werber’s 1991 sci-fi novel Les Fourmis (or Empire of the Ants in English). In this strategy-adventure game, players explore the world from the perspective of ants, managing colonies, waging battles, and navigating the intricacies of ant life. Developed by Tower Five and published by Microids, the game uses Unreal Engine 5, which promises impressive visuals, especially for close-up views of the natural environment. The developers aim to make it a unique experience by focusing on the complex social structures, communication methods, and survival strategies of ants.

The game will include various challenges, such as resource management, colony expansion, and defense against predators. With a mix of real-time strategy and adventure elements, it invites players to understand the natural order from an ant's perspective. Empire of the Ants is scheduled for release in 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and it could appeal to fans of strategic simulations and nature-inspired gameplay.
