Erid Game Studios is building XXXX-XXXX, a real-time strategy game whose AI opponent studies how you play, finds where your habits leave gaps, and comes back with a plan.
Work began in January 2023, after 22 years of playing real-time strategy.
It's a genre a lot of us still love, even as it has slipped down the priority list for most studios. XXXX-XXXX is an attempt to keep making the kind of RTS those players have been waiting for.
With modern hardware and recent progress in AI, offline play can finally hold its own next to online. In Campaign and Skirmish alike, your opponent adapts instead of repeating the same script.
“Expect it to probe a blind spot, set a trap, and see whether you walk into it.”
It builds at your speed, with your resources, under your rules. No hidden bonuses.
What you are really fighting is its collective memory: everything it has learned from every game it has played. Win or lose, every game makes it better.
Pick a lane to attack. Before you choose, it has already committed its defense, based only on what you've done so far. Keys 1, 2 and 3 work too.
Erid was started by a gamer who felt the industry had drifted away from its players. So we build in the opposite direction, starting from the person holding the mouse, and working back to everything else.
We are always looking for talented, passionate people who put player experience first.
