Clapfoot just stealthily released Foxhole onto Steam Early Access and it's quite the intriguing proposition. The game, played from a top-down perspective, features an ongoing persistent online war which will be shaped by hundreds of players.

　　Set in an alternate timeline where the great wars never truly ended, Foxhole is based on collaborative strategy and tactics so that every player action can have a meaningful effect on the war through emergent gameplay.

　　Mark Ng, Co-Founder of Toronto-based developer Clapfoot, said:

　　Foxhole requires players to plan and work together in ways never before seen in an online war game. Running supply lines, cutting off enemy logistics, and building out radio networks for communication are just as important as combat. Every soldier is a player in Foxhole so the narrative of the war is completely user driven.

　　Players will be able to control all of the elements of war, from weapon production and base building to strategy and combat. They'll need to acquire resources, build vehicles, and run supply lines.

　　Foxhole is currently priced at $19.99 and Clapfoot estimates that it should take roughly one year to complete the game.
