Newly established Cyprus-based developer KEK Entertainment announced Armor Attack, an upcoming tactical vehicle shooter game.
KEK Entertainment was formed by ex EA, Ubisoft, DICE, MY.GAMES, and Pixonic Studios veterans who previously worked on similar games like World of Tanks and War Robots. The team recently received $8 million through a funding round led by Korea Investment Partners.
In the world of Armor Attack, three rival factions are fighting for control of Earth. The game will focus on land warfare. On the official website, the developers shared a bit about the gameplay’s vision, highlighting the strategic depth they are striving for:
Like you can cut off your enemy’s forefront with some special ability, then call for an orbital strike to hugely damage this blocked troop (this is not final, but we will definitely have something like that), then burrow into the ground and attack the enemy from behind. Or someone would choose to stay back-to-back with his buddy while they’re both protected by the energy shields to play for time their teammates need.
Here’s the official overview of Armor Attack. Alpha testing signups are available now on the official website, though there’s no date yet.
-
CLASS AND ABILITY-CENTERED VEHICLES – Choose and customize your vehicle, each with a unique expertise to be successful on the battlefield.

CUSTOMIZABLE COMBAT – Tailor your battle machines for specific combat objectives. Use the most effective combinations of unit abilities, upgrades, weapons and talent systems to create tactically diverse drop teams.
