French video game studio Marmalade Game Studio, specializing in video board games across mobile, PC, and console., announced a new Ticket to Ride board game experience, coming soon to Steam.
The new Ticket to Ride video game promises to deliver quality, with 3D animations that will bring the board game to life. With a brand new AI system, single-player games will provide a more realistic challenge to the seasoned players, dynamically adapting to their moves as the game progresses.
Cristina Mereuta, co-CEO of Marmalade Game Studio said:
“Over the last year we have spent hundreds of hours analysing how the best players approach the game, which tactics they use and how and when they decide to change tack. We all know that person in the group who doesn’t just win the game, but wins it with 200 points, obliterating the competition.
We interviewed more than a hundred such players to understand what sets them apart and modelled our AI system based on their input, resulting in a live AI that uses the best strategies for winning, but also responds in real time to how the game is played around them. This gives us the best of both worlds, a satisfying game for expert players and also a casual game for less experienced audiences.”
While the game will launch with the United States and Europe maps, players can look forward to a series of subsequent expansions that will add new locations and fresh gameplay to the collection. These will include all the obvious fan favorites, plus also a few surprise maps brought to the digital space for the first time by Marmalade.
