On 8 November, Proxy Studios from Erlangen will release their new 4X strategy game Zephon. The title builds heavily on the experience Proxy gathered with their dystopian 4X game Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War.

Independent game studio Proxy Studios from Erlangen in Germany has revelaed the release date for their next game. Zephon, a new 4X strategy game in a dystopian sci-fi setting, will release on 8 November on Steam.

Proxy Studios has been founded in 2009 and has specialised heavily in sci-fi 4X games. Starting out with Conquest: Divide and Conquer in 2010, the studio went on to release Pandora: First Contact in 2013. Their most impressive title so far has been Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War, released in 2018 and continually supported by addons, in cooperation Slitherine and Games Workshop. Zephon builds on the ideas explored in Gladius, but in its own new franchise and in self-publishing.
