The Hive

The Hive is a story-driven real-time strategy game with RPG elements. You command an insectoid hive mind, build an underground colony, harvest DNA from defeated enemies and evolve your creatures as you lead your swarm through the ancient underworld of New Eden. Fight toward the surface through the ruins of lost civilizations, face colossal creatures and uncover the truth about your existence.

New Eden

Deep beneath the surface, ancient ruins and abandoned settlements hold the remnants of forgotten civilizations and a tragic history. As the Hive grows stronger, you travel through diverse biomes, from lush underground springs to fiery volcanic regions, each with its own creatures and challenges. A narrated campaign follows your journey toward the surface and the search for the purpose of your existence.

Build and evolve

You gather resources and expand your underground nest, raising increasingly powerful creatures. By harvesting DNA from defeated enemies, you choose which creatures and abilities to unlock first, shaping the swarm to suit your strategy. Your units gain experience, grow in size and become more powerful as they survive battles.

Lead your swarm

You command your creatures in real-time battles against New Eden’s hostile inhabitants. The Hive also features colossal ancient enemies, requiring you to adapt your tactics to meet increasingly dangerous challenges.

Missions and loot

In Survival Mode, creatures carry over between missions, letting you develop veteran units whose survival becomes increasingly valuable. Defeated enemies drop items that you can equip on your creatures, while optional bosses offer rare equipment that also carries over between missions.
