Ara: History Untold is a grand turn-based strategy game from Oxide Games, published by Xbox Game Studios. Lead your civilization through alternate-history scenarios across procedurally generated maps using simultaneous-turn mechanics, rich diplomacy, and a living world that visually reflects your decisions .
Set apart by its “simultaneous turns” system—where all actions are executed together—Ara encourages meaningful choice over rote optimization. With a global economy, a non-linear tech tree, persistent biomes, and both synchronous and asynchronous multiplayer, it’s built for replayability. The first major update (v1.4 “Living Strategy”) and premium DLC expand diplomacy, mod support, and gameplay depth .
