Thousands March to War: Anvil Empires Demo Now Live for Steam Next Fest

From the developers of Foxhole comes Anvil Empires, a massive multiplayer experience where thousands of players shape a persistent medieval world through war, conquest, and empire building. Beginning June 2nd, players can dive into Anvil Empires’ public demo as part of Steam Next Fest, featuring a special 1000-player battle test designed to push the game’s cutting-edge server technology to its limits.

Take command of catapults, battering rams, and siege towers as you march alongside an army of real players-or man the ramparts for a desperate last stand behind your Keep’s crumbling walls. This is warfare on a scale rarely seen in online gaming, where strategy, logistics, and coordination define the path to victory.

Experience the future of large-scale MMO gameplay by joining the Anvil Empires demo, available for a limited time during Steam Next Fest. Whether you're helping construct a frontier town, establishing vital trade routes, or leading a siege on enemy fortifications, your actions have a lasting impact in a world that never resets.
