All these decades later, Blizzard's RPG and its immediate sequel are still held in extremely high regard. Men Of War 2 is coming to Steam and the Epic Games Store on September 20th.Diablo launched in 1997 and changed the video game landscape forever. Assuming it doesn't need the same number of patches as the number of planets it has, anyway. I'll have hopefully played enough of Starfield by then. I've certainly had a good time with what I've played of Men Of War 2 so far, and I'll be interested to see how it stacks up to Company Of Heroes 3, this year's other major WW2 real-time strategy game.


That's a lot of men and a lot of war, and potentially a whole lot more of both, considering it's going to have full mod support from day one as well. Raids will be a series of 16 randomly generated battles to fight across, while Conquest is described as a "dynamic campaign" that will let players pick a path for their army to conquer territory.įinally, there's multiplayer, which will have 20 maps designed by Best Way (a handful of which I sampled earlier on in the year), 13 PvP modes and five PvE modes (the latter of which will be playable in co-op with up to four other players). Two extra modes - Raids and Conquest - round out Men of War 2's single player options. Best Way claim these will involve "more dynamic choices" in how you pick your battalions and units compared to the story campaigns, but we'll have to wait and see how that pans out in practice. In addition to those three story campaigns, Best Way have announced an additional pair of historical campaigns as well: the American 'Operation Overlord' mission in Western Europe and the Soviet 'Operation Bagration' against Nazi Germany. And finally, "On Their Own Soil" will see you take the role of an older soldier during the collapse of the Third Reich.

On the Soviet side, the "Thwarted Blitzkrieg" campaign will see you slowing down oncoming German tank forces. The American campaign is called "The Falaise Pocket" and will pit you against the Germans on the western banks of the river Seine.
