Electronic Sports League Announces Upcoming Epigenesis Tournament

In this non-lethal ball game of the future, players leap across platforms suspended high up in the air trying to get a ball located in the middle of the arena and score goals against their opponents. Each player carries a gravity cannon capable of pushing enemies (and friends) down from the heights of the arena.

When a player scores, that player receives a genetically modified super-seed and gets the opportunity to plant it onto a platform to capture it. To win the game, players must capture towers and construct a node system from their goal post all the way to their opponents' goal post. If this hasn't happened by the time that the clock reaches zero, the team with the most points win. Teamwork, tactics and precision are key to winning eternal glory in the game of Epigenesis!

Epigenesis is now available for PC exclusivelyon Steam for $9.99. For more information on the game, check out the official Epigenesis website.
