New Trailer Released, Major Localization Update, Steam Deck Verified
MicroProse is proud to announce that TFC: The Fertile Crescent, the acclaimed Bronze Age RTS inspired by the civilizations of the ancient Near East, is officially joining the MicroProse publishing family. Developed by Wield Interactive, TFC blends classic RTS gameplay with fresh strategic twists rooted in history, resource management, and tactical depth.
To celebrate the partnership, the game is now available at a 40% discount, along with a brand-new announcement trailer that offers a fresh look as it continues to evolve into one of the genre’s most compelling modern interpretations.
Update 1.3: A Landmark Localization Expansion
As part of the new publishing partnership, TFC receives one of its biggest updates yet.
Update 1.3 introduces a slew of high-quality localizations, created with the help of professional linguists. This was a major undertaking, and fans can now enjoy the game in German, French, Norwegian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.
Steam Deck Verified
