Atari Will Release Minimum On Steam

By TechTaffy Desk

Minimum

Atari will release the third-person, multiplayer online combat game, Minimum, for PC. The game will be available for early access spring 2014 on Steam.

Set in a minimalistic stylized universe, Minimum features session-based combat that pits teams of five against each other. Each team has their own gigantic robotic Titan that they power up and support to help them fight and destroy the enemy’s base.

Minimum was initially created by TimeGate Studios. Human Head Studios, a Madison, Wisc. based developer, was also involved in the game development.
