Ubisoft Announces Public Beta for R.U.S.E

Today Ubisoft announced that the Public Beta Test for R.U.S.E., a one-of-a-kind real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Eugen Systems, is now supported through and available for download and installation on Steam. Set to reinvigorate the strategy genre, R.U.S.E. allows players to use their brains as the ultimate weapon to fight a war of perception where the ability to deceive and mislead the enemy determines success.

In the public beta, players will have the opportunity to choose one of the 6 unique factions available in the game and train themselves against the artificial intelligence on the “Blitz” map before entering the multiplayer challenge.

With 7 multiplayer maps (from 1 vs. 1 to 4 vs. 4 or free for all) players will be able to test their strategist skills against enemies combining up to 10 different ruses to lure their opponents in one of the 3 multiplayer game modes (1939, 1942, 1945).

R.U.S.E. is scheduled to release on June 3rd 2010 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Playstation 3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
