Under Siege, our real time strategy game for PSN, is getting a massive update today. We listened to our friends, fans, and critics and took all their opinions very seriously. So we went back and decided to improve Under Siege in every way possible. Today’s free 1.02 update adds the following features:
- Upgrade to 4 players online and local
- Antialiasing in both 720p and 1080p
- Players can now continue the campaign from any level they have already finished, instead of only the last
- The first few levels of the game were rebalanced to make the game more accessible to new players and the casual difficulty was completely redone
- Cooperative maps are unlocked from the start
- General performance improvements and shorter load times
- News feed from the team directly on the Main Menu
There’s more; the full update list can be checked on our forums here.
Additionally, the multiplayer network code had a huge revision and along with it we bring you 4 new multiplayer maps:
2×2 Capture Point – Swamp
Compete 2 vs 2 in this capture point map based on the swamp theme. Aim to reach 1.000 points faster than the other team by capturing 4 bases.
2×2 Capture the Flag – Ruins
Compete 2 vs 2 in this capture the flag map based on the ruins theme. Take control of the Golem and be the first team to capture 3 flags.
CO-OP Capture Point – Mountains
Cooperate with another player to capture this heavily defended map. Climb up the mountain and resist the incoming waves of enemies.
2×2 Team Deathmatch – Forest
Compete 2 vs 2 in this team deathmatch map based on the forest theme. Be the first team to reach 5 victories.
How much does this update cost? Nothing, it is for free and available now – just launch the game. Visit us at www.undersiegegame.com or on Facebook for more info.

Best PSN game of 2011, as far as I’m concerned. This long awaited update looks like a 3rd playthrough to me!

The update looks very good, and it gives me a great reason to jump back into Under Siege. I think this approach of making an RTS as a downloadable game on consoles is a great way to go.

This update should make me comeback to the game. Haven’t played it for a long time now.
And I guess this huge free update is to make up for all the delays for the game
?

Kudos to you Filipe, and everyone else at Seed Studios. I just wanted to say how appreciated this type of free, extensive post-release support is. Thank you!

I was heavily considering buying this game, and weirdly enough just today considered it again. I think I shall buy it the next chance I get.

Wow that is awesome. I originally bought this game when it released but I couldn’t get the hang of it and so I stopped playing after a few hours but something like this makes me want to re download the game and give it another try.
I love it when developers do stuff like this because it shows the developers ain’t just a bunch of greedy snobs in it for the money and they actually care about the games they make. Its a quality thats missing from most developers in this day and age. And its a quality that speaks a thousand words.
Now a days developers release broken unfinished games and all they try to do is fix those problems before moving on but rarely you get developers who strive to improve there games and its such a shame really
