Big news for RTS fans! Door 407 has officially announced that their hit game Diplomacy is Not An Option will be leaving Early Access and launching its full 1.0 version on October 4, 2024. To celebrate, they’ve released an epic new trailer during Gamescom, and it’s packed with the kind of medieval chaos that’s become the game’s trademark.
Set in a brutal medieval fantasy world, Diplomacy is Not An Option challenges you to survive as a minor Lord who’s constantly under siege. With over 25,000 enemies bearing down on your castle, you’ll need to fortify your defenses, rally your troops, and engage in massive battles where every decision counts. It’s not just about brute force—you’ll also need to manage your economy, engineer defenses, and even dabble in magic if you hope to survive the onslaught.
Since its Early Access debut in February 2022, Diplomacy is Not An Option has garnered rave reviews and built a passionate player base. The upcoming 1.0 release promises to be the game’s most content-rich version yet, featuring a full story campaign that will bring the total gameplay time to over 100 hours.
What’s New in 1.0:
- Over 30 hours of content in a single playthrough
- 100+ hours of total gameplay across more than 25 missions
- At least 3 factions to follow, each with its own story arc
- Multiple choices that shape the story’s outcome
- At least 6 possible endings to discover
- A variety of mission types, from defending your castle and attacking enemy cities to escort missions, boss fights, and building unique monuments
Whether you’re building a fortress, defending against massive hordes, or going on the offensive, Diplomacy is Not An Option offers an RTS experience like no other. But if you’re eager to dive into the full version, now’s the time to act. The game is available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, and Humble for $24.99/£19.99/€20.99.
