Aztez – A Game of Conquest and Brutality
23May/1715

Aztez Coming August 1st, 2017! ALL INFO HERE.

We are so happy to to finally be able to say that Aztez is launching on Steam and The Humble Store (PC/Mac/Linux) on August 1st, 2017!

Assuming the game doesn't crash into the mountain on PC, it's coming to PS4/XboxOne/Vita afterward. Technically we're authorized for release on WiiU, but we're going to try and pivot that into a Switch release instead.

Here is everything you should know!

The Aztez Steam store page is now live. Obviously you can't buy it yet, but what you CAN do it is add it your wishlist. This is good for you because you'll be notified the second it's out and/or on sale, and it's good for us because being able to say your game is on a lot of wishlists helps us on the business side of things.

You can still, as always, stay on top of the news and interact with us on Facebook and Twitter, and we're actually pretty active these days! We've also updated the official site, where you can sign up for the mailing list if you haven't already. Our press pack is current as well!

Where That Merch At?!

In the works! We're reviving some old partnerships and starting some new ones, and as soon as we've got sweet swag in the world, you'll see it on FB/Twitter instantly. And just so you know, merch deals don't really benefit us. We do it because you guys ask for it, and because it benefits the rad merch companies that make cool shit for all of us. Show them your love.

I Am A Journalist, What Do I Do?

Send me an email at [email protected]. I am in full-time marketing mode now, and I am at your service. Obviously you are free to just go ahead and write about the game, but I am always happy to answer questions or conduct interviews or trade food photos on Instagram or whatever. <3

    This is the post my thumbs have been quivering for. Stay, appetite. Stay.

  • Senshi

    I’m not sure what I’m more excited for; Aztez finally coming out, or the prospect of a dedicated Team Colorblind food photo stream ;)

  • You guys rule.

  • Mischief Maker

    No DRM-free option?

    • All options are DRM free? Am I missing something?

      • Mischief Maker

        I mean are you selling on platforms other than Steam? Like Humble Widget or GOG?

        I’m of the school of thought that Steam IS a form of DRM.

        • Matthew Wegner

          Yeah, we’ll be on Humble for sure (and likely GOG too).

          • Mischief Maker

            Great! Can’t wait.

    Going for a Switch release over Wii U is definitely a smart idea, looking forward to it.

    Any notion on when it’ll be on PsVita? No, specific date is needed, but, will it be like, more than a year, more than two, less than a year? Feel free to disregard this comment, sweet art, by the way!

    • Matthew Wegner

      Vita is a tricky one to answer! So we have the game at 60fps on PS4, XB1, Switch right now. The work between now and console release is largely paperwork/marketing/etc type stuff (no release date yet).

      Vita is an old-enough platform–the GPU is 7 years old!–that we need to do a lot of content work to optimize for it. We don’t really know when we can do that work, though, because right now sales on PC are quite poor. Hopefully consoles turn that around, and we’ll be able to find some more time for the game, but right now Vita is a big question mark :/

      Sorry that’s probably not the news you wanted to hear!

        Totally understandable. I haven’t gotten the game yet, but will be getting it as soon as it’s released on the Switch — which begs the question, when is the Switch release due :)?
