Echelon Wind Warriors

Echelon Wind Warriors has been described by Echelon as the first game to use the world map technology from last year's Age of Empires II. The game uses that system, though, because it lets you actually set up a persistent server (similar to that of Age of Empires II), which lets you play with more than 200 different players simultaneously. You can create a new world with up to 50 players, and then use it to set up battle parties and battle on a massive floating island, in order to defeat the island's enemy. You'll find that the islands are vast, colorful, and often changing, making them distinctly different from one another.

We've had some time with Echelon Wind Warriors and have some interesting details about the new game. Echelon Wind Warriors is scheduled to ship to stores this spring. For more information, check out our previous coverage of the game.
