Samobor, Croatia, 8th. June 2026 | Ironward today announced the official launch of Atre: Dominance Wars, their real time fantasy strategy game blending 4X empire-building, tactical warfare, and god-like powers. The game is officially in EARLY ACCESS for PC via Steam and GOG.
Set in a fractured world consumed by a catastrophic event known as “The Merge,” Atre: Dominance Wars puts players in the role of immortal Elders - sorcerers who have transcended mortality and now battle for absolute dominance. Players will forge empires, command magically evolved armies, manipulate both enemies and allies, and unleash devastating magic capable of reshaping the battlefield itself.
“Game of Thrones”
In Atre: Dominance Wars, players can manipulate alliances, create temporary peace, or betray rivals at the perfect moment to seize power. Even getting conquered is not the end. True defeat happens only when you give up on total domination.
Magical prowess
Spellcraft and research define your path to domination. Invest in learning spells and developing abilities that shape your strategy, whether you unleash mutations, rain destruction upon your enemies, or manipulate the dead to fight for you.
