Strife will be available this winter, promising a realm of conflict, competition and glory. These customizable character choices encourage players to experiment, adapting tactics appropriate to personal play style. Everything from the pets they fight with to the crafted weapons and items they bring to battle is informed by the look, feel and personality of each hero. Instilling in players personal attachments to their heroes as much informs S2's approach to art and character design as it does lore, producing units that are not only fun and intuitive to control, but that each feature their own definitive style. Players must overcome 'The Trials of Strife,' as well as one another, to prove themselves as champions worthy to face the Dharkwave. Its only hope is an Army of Light, forged in the crucible of battle to hold the line against their impending arrival. It all begins when the invasion of the Dharkwave, harbingers of darkness foretold by prophecy, is imminent, promising catastrophe upon the world. Strife aims to make strides in MOBA storytelling, delivering an engrossing world with a layered backstory to further connect players with the heroes they choose. It also employs design elements that instruct and inform, providing immediate feedback for genre newcomers and veterans alike. Predicated on creating a more connected multiplayer experience that incentivizes cooperation, Strife streamlines communication between players with innovative, in-client social systems and rewards players for team collaboration, not simply placing highest on a leaderboard. Unlike other MOBAs, Strife is built entirely around the idea of a collective, contributing community.
