Came across this. I’m not into MOBAs really, but this might change that. Vid and beta sign up in the link.
From PlayGrid and the highly acclaimed development studio Petroglyph, who are behind such names as Grey Goo, Star Wars: Empire at War, and as members of Westwood Studios the Command & Conquer series, and the Dune RTS series; comes Victory Command.
This is a fast-action, military MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle
Arena). Expanding the competitive battlefield beyond the standard
three-lane MOBA formula with RTS (real-time strategy) controls and
tactics in an open-field battle arena. Victory Command gives you the player the chance to engage enemies with larger scale strategies such as flanking, ambushing, and trapping.
In Victory Command players simultaneously command
multiple units of armoured, recon, and infantry combat units to engage
in 5v5 team combat. They begin their military career with basic
companies to command, and then improve their troops and arsenal by
earning experience points in combat. Combining the cooperation and
competition of battle arena games with the strategies and tactics of
real-time strategy games, this unique Military MOBA, is full of
additional ways to surprise and destroy opponents. Victory Command will be available on Steam Early Access in just a few short weeks.
