Mihkel Trei lead developer at Luminous commented:
“From our humble beginnings as an indie demo almost 5 years ago, I am so excited to complete the ultimate Circle Empires experience with Rivals.

We are continually grateful to everyone who has supported us, and just hope to bring some fun into the world during these turbulent times.”
