Some of you may have noticed a sudden flurry of activity. Some of you may have spotted that the Indiegogo backers have received beta keys. Some of you are speculating on RIOT – Civil Unrest actually being released.

I can confirm that the wait is nearly over and RIOT – Civil Unrest will launch as a Steam Early Access game on Wednesday 6th December at 15.00 GMT - $12.99 / €12.99 / £9.99.

I’d like to remind you that RIOT – Civil Unrest is still in development. After each game session, players will be presented with a Google docs feedback form via which we would welcome any suggestions or observations. By working closely with you, the community, the dev team can fine tune the game to make it the best possible experience. The team will continue to work to a schedule and plan to release regular updates - be sure to keep checking this community hub. Finally, on behalf of Merge Games, Leonard and IVProductions, I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize for the delays that the project has endured. We understand the frustration felt by everyone during the game’s protracted development. There have been multiple setbacks during development and we thank you all for your patience and support. - Note for those who pre-ordered from the Humble Store. You have already paid and will receive your keys on December 6th direct from Humble.

As the world’s economical crisis deepens and inequality tears the very fabric of society the discontentment of the masses manifests itself in violent public disturbances and civil disorder.

RIOT – Civil Unrest is the highly anticipated real-time riot simulator that places the player right in the heart of some of the world’s most fractious clashes. Campaigns include: Indignados (Spain), Arab Spring (Egypt), Keratea (Greece) and NoTAV (Italy). Seventeen single level scenarios include Rome, Oakland, Paris, London and Ukraine.

RIOT – Civil Unrest’s creator, Leonard Menchiari, experienced rioting first-hand at the NoTAV protests in Italy. He created the game to tell the stories and express the feelings experienced during these clashes. What triggers the crowd to behave with such anger and aggression? Often outnumbered, what does a police officer feel like during the conflict? RIOT – Civil Unrest presents the player with the opportunity to experience both sides of the fight - a fight in which there really are no winners. Who is right and who is wrong?
