RIOT: Civil Unrest preparing for full release - 12 February 2019

RIOT: Civil Unrest will officially leave Early Access on Tuesday February 12th will see the full release of v1.0 of the game. We will be increasing the game’s price to $16.99 / €16.99 / £12.99 – thank you to everyone who supported us in Early Access.

Last minute circumstances has meant we have had to push the day back by a week until 12th February 2019. Thank you for your patience.



Included in the release will be six new levels (with a Sci-Fi level to follow later). The six new challenges have been put together by the team at IVP using the game’s level editor. The locations have been taken from recent clashes as well as showing the versatility of the editor to completely change the look and feel of the game with the Fantasy and forthcoming Sci-Fi levels.



New Levels

• Hamburg, Germany – G20 Rote Flora
  
• Mashhad, Iran – Shohahad Square protests
  
• Buenos Aires, Argentina – Financial reform protests
  
• Rhineland, Germany - Ende Gelände movement, mining protests
  
• Paris, France – Yellow Vests protest
  
• Fantasy – Orks vs Knights
  

Thanks to everyone who has been testing the level editor out in its beta format. The team have been working hard to integrate your suggestions and fix any issues with the editor. The feature list looks like this:

• Name your riot, create a description of the event and add many other details ( where, when, links etc. )
  
• Add your images to backgrounds
  
• Place and edit sprites from a library with more than 700 objects
  
• Add lights, vehicles, particles effects and filters
  
• Customise the characters skins, clothes and gears
  
• Set the Gameplay rules defining the rebels and police teams and the objective.
  
• Share it on Steam Workshop!
