Players recently got their first look at the upcoming sequel to Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator and it seems to deliver on the promise of having the capacity to show 1.3 million characters on-screen at once. While the sequel does not yet have a specified release date, developer Brilliant Games Studios is aiming for the fall of 2021.

Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator is a game that does exactly what its name suggests and then some. Players pit massive AI armies against one another in epic battles that can be as bizarre as one's imagination will allow. Armies can be made up of almost anything, from traditional historical beings to ducks with helmets and everything in between. With the addition of mods, players can add forces from Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Marvel, and other famous intellectual properties to their armies as well.

As epic as the first game is in scope, Brilliant Game Studios is looking to make the sequel even bigger and the new trailer for Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 suggests it has achieved just that. Not only has Brilliant Game Studios improved the AI for the sequel, but it has also dramatically increased the number of on-screen characters the game can support at once. Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 will reportedly have the capacity to support 100 times more on-screen characters than its predecessor. On top of that Brilliant Game Studios is working on an improved physics engine, which could allow for thousands of ragdoll effects working simultaneously on-screen. That aspect, however, is still early in the development process.

Recently the original Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator became free on Steam for a few days in order to drum up excitement for the sequel announcement. Players were able to download the game at no charge prior to February 1 at 10 a.m. PST and keep it as if it were a regular purchase. Normally Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator sits at $14.99 on Steam and it is unclear if the price will change again the closer the sequel comes to its release.

Brilliant Game Studios seems incredibly confident with its sequel and the trailer impressively backs it up. While it does not seem to show gameplay, it clearly demonstrates the ideas Brilliant Game Studios wants to pull off. From the details on the individual characters to the massive sweeping landscapes as armies comprised of hundreds of thousands clash, Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2 looks bigger and better in every way when compared to its predecessor.
