Eugen Systems’ Steel Division 2 was set to release on May 2nd, but has since faced a delayed. The developer/publisher has confirmed a new release date of June 20th. Though more fan feedback is being garnered, the solo campaign mode, Army General, apparently wasn’t going to be polished enough by the original release date. Eugen will offer a dev diary to showcase how the mode has evolved over time.

The beta will see a new phase starting today and lasting until April 23rd. It allows players to try out the five player co-op and other features to decide if the full game is worth their time. You can expect another beta phase, and then the final beta on May 29th before the game is out in June.

A sequel to Steel Division: Normandy 44, Steel Division 2 has faced some trouble in development. Nearly half of the developers went on strike up till April 2018, and publisher Paradox Interactive would later reveal that it wasn’t publishing the title. Regardless, with a new art style, updates to the engine, and various other improvements, Steel Division 2 seems keen to appeal to fans. We’ll see how it performs at launch.

Paradox has just announced a new, highly exciting looking PC exclusive game- a new real time strategy game set in the World War 2 era. Steel Division: Normandy 44 is being developed by Eugen Systems, and it uses aerial shots of World War 2 battlefields to recreate them in game authentically. Which is… an excellent idea, actually.

“Few developers appreciate strategy and history as much as Eugen Systems, and that’s what makes this partnership so ideal,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “The level of detail they’ve included in Steel Division is impressive, and I know it will meet the high standards that Paradox fans have when it comes to their historical games.”

You can check out the announcement trailer for the game below. As of right now, it has no release date attached to it, but it looks highly interesting, and you can be sure we will keep you apprised of its progress.

Real time strategists and Arm Chair Generals, ready your souls and muster your courage, lend me your ears and armies! Because Eugen Systems are bringing even more free content to their popular real time strategy game, Wargame: Red Dragon.

The Second Korean War will have the Chinease, North Koreans (they’re the bad ones in case you didn’t know) and the Soviets facing of against the United Nations Coalitions.

Wargame: Red Dragon was a major success for Eugen Systems with the game selling in excess of one million copies, but unlike a lot of other developers, this success didn’t make them complacent. They continue to support the game and its community with content patches and free updates that improve and expand upon the already brilliant game.

So if you’re into the RTS genre, you’re in luck. Not only because this DLC is free, but also because Wargame: Red Dragon is currently on sale on Steam at a huge 50% off. Isn’t that just awesome.

Eugen Systems’ Wargame Red Dragon, after a fairly solid launch on the PC, is now heading to the Mac.

Wargame: AirLand Battle is still going strong, as Eugen Systems has announced that the second DLC pack for the game, Magna Carta is now available for free to players. Whenever you next launch AirLand Battle, your game should be automatically updated with the DLC.

Magna Carta will introduce 12 new units, one per nation and also feature 7 new maps including Gjöll and Ásgard which are both designed to support up to 20 players at once for an epic scale of combat. Four other maps – Oslo, Orkolsvik, Karlstad and Aarhus – will be designed for 1 vs. 1, up to 3 vs. 3 players and which are available for both Conquest and Destruction mode. Three Miles Island also makes a return and can also be played in both Conquest and Destruction. Eugen has finally fulfilled demands for the map, which was introduced first in European Escalation.

Eugen has also taken it upon itself to rebalance all 870 units in an update issued days ago. Currently, Eugen is developing Wargame: Red Dragon.

The sequel to 2012’s European Escalation, Wargame: Airland Battle puts a small army at your fingertips once more, with the sole objective of taking ground and annihilating your opponents. Your first port of call is, naturally, the tutorial. Traditionally a gentle playground where users can test their agency, Wargame’s playground is filled with barbed wire and malice. It skims over many important units, mechanics and concepts, leaving the player bewildered and forlorn. It isn’t a great start.

"Once you start to get the hang of things, the strategy becomes exhilarating. Though the macro turn-based overworld gameplay isn't the greatest example of turn-based strategy, the no-frills formation juggling of the core RTS gameplay is refined, elegant and engaging."

Things only get better from there though. Four campaigns throw you into fictitious battles from World War III and, with an overworld map where you move your forces around in a turn-based fashion, there’s a whiff of the Total War series to the single player proceedings. The actual battles will be familiar to previous Wargame players or, going further back, the amazing World in Conflict. Unlike other titans in the RTS genre, Wargame does away with base-building and resources in favour of more tactical unit play.

Once you start to get the hang of things, the strategy becomes exhilarating. Though the macro turn-based overworld gameplay isn’t the greatest example of turn-based strategy, the no-frills formation juggling of the core RTS gameplay is refined, elegant and engaging. The interface itself is surprisingly clean for a game with such great depth and, though it takes a long time to get to grips with, everything about the core mechanics makes enough sense to be picked up through trial and error. It can be a bit of a grind early on as you get accustomed to defensively reversing tanks and juggling recon units, but it’s worth it.

Outside of these pleasantly outlandish skirmishes, you have a massive chunk of multiplayer modes that will really test your mettle. Ranging from smaller matches to 10 vs. 10 team fights, there are a plethora of modes to sink your teeth into. I was surprised by how active the community is, as I was never left without an opponent or match to dive into.

"Graphics are simplistic and, though detailed enough for you to efficiently throttle your foes, the aesthetics are very much a secondary concern. Likewise, the sound, functional as it is, fails to evoke the emotions of the dynamic battles you fight."

There’s even a customisable element to the proceedings, with trading-card game style unit sets you can accumulate and assemble around various themes. The matches are certainly competitive but, if you can get over the initial matches you’ll inevitably lose, there’s something very addictive about the multiplayer setup in Airland Battle.

Whilst the bits under the hood are a real draw, you be forgiven for being turned off by Wargame’s outer shell. Much like European Escalation, it isn’t much of a looker. Graphics are simplistic and, though detailed enough for you to efficiently throttle your foes, the aesthetics are very much a secondary concern. Likewise, the sound, functional as it is, fails to evoke the emotions of the dynamic battles you fight.

With a vibrant community, lengthy campaigns and a host of engaging modes, Airland Battle is a high-value package indeed. When you also consider the many units on offer, each one possessing realistically modelled weapons and ballistics, it’s a wonder developer Eugen Systems managed to fit it all in. Add in the strategic depth and a host of Valve’s new Steam trading cards and you have serious bang for your buck with Wargame: Airland Battle.

Gaming is about many levels, with casual and hardcore fans alike being catered for by the wild variety of titles available. Wargame: Airland Battle is definitely in the more hardcore camp, with poor guidance, a brutal online component and complex gameplay theoretically shutting out RTS newcomers. It’s a shame really, as the game itself is beautifully distilled, offering a simplistic and clear interface that anyone can learn with enough time. Still, accessibility issues aside, Airland Battle is a treat for all the armchair strategists out there and, whether you game alone or in communities, you’re covered in this exciting instalment of Wargame.

This game was reviewed on PC.

You’ll be making movements on a huge map representing Europe as you coordinate strikes and order your army around. The amount of tactical decisions you can make ranges from movement to reconnaissance and even tactical nuclear strikes. Did we also mention bombs? But when you need to defend a zone, you’ll go real time into battle and square off against the enemy.

Your units will keep by your side throughout the campaign, earning experience and increasing their chances of survival. This creates a nifty balance wherein you try to make your troops stronger for long-term success rather than the quick and easy route of straight-forward which could bring mass causalities.

WarGame AirLand Battle is slated to release for PC on May 30th.

Creative director Alexis Le Dressay explains in the video that players can not only customize their armies with tons of units (820 units across 12 countries) but can also choose their specialization. They can even properly stack the units and choose reinforcements to appear in multiplayer, hence creating varying decks for different strategies.

No, it’s not Yu-Gi-Oh, but there’s nothing like building Decks for proficiencies like airborne, armour, supply units and more. There are even “national” decks which give out exclusive bonuses such as prototype units, higher unit availability in specific categories and more reinforcements.

Wargame AirLand Battle will be releasing for PC May 22nd.
