Where Are Empire of the Ants (2024) Save Files Located?
The 2024 Empire of the Ants save folder on PC, in Unreal layout under a short Empire folder name.
Last updated
The 2024 reboot saves under a terse folder named Empire in Local AppData, following Unreal Engine convention with Saved and SaveGames below. Campaign files carry an EmpireSaveGame prefix that stands out in the folder.
This has no connection to the 2000 original, whose saves lived on memory cards and floppy era PCs. If you came here looking for the classic, this path is not it.

Frequently asked questions
Does this cover the original 2000 Empire of the Ants?
No. The 2000 game predates this folder scheme entirely. This page is only about the 2024 Unreal Engine reboot.
How do I back up my Empire of the Ants campaign?
Copy the EmpireSaveGame files out of SaveGames. Restoring means dropping them back into the same folder while the game is closed.
