We also believe it is now the right time to dive a little deeper into the different content available at launch, and officially unveil brand-new features, campaigns and game modes we have not talked about before:
Three Epic Narrative Campaigns
At launch, the game will feature three single-player narrative campaigns, which will guide you through explosive fictional stories set against a historically accurate background. Featuring plotlines from three global powers - the Americans, Soviets, and Germans - you will have to utilize military strategy to lay waste to your adversaries and fulfill various tactical objectives.
- The American campaign, ‘The Falaise Pocket’, will see you take on the role of Allied troops facing the task of eliminating German forces west of the Seine.
- ‘Thwarted Blitzkrieg’ is the Soviet campaign, and follows an almost hopeless situation for the USSR, as they struggle to slow the encroaching German tank forces.
- In the German campaign, ‘On Their Own Soil’, you will act as an old soldier amidst the collapse of the Third Reich, following the difficult road of retreat and loss, in a war that was never truly his own.
Historical Campaigns
In addition to the narrative campaigns, you will be given the ability to dive deeper into true historical operations with American ‘Operation Overlord’, the Allied operation into Western Europe, and Soviet ‘Operation Bagration’, a large-scale Soviet offensive against Nazi Germany, through a series of related missions. These historical campaigns offer more dynamic choices regarding the battalions and units you choose to defeat the enemy threat.
Raids and Conquest
Two further campaign modes will offer even more variety. The first is Raids, which are a series of 16 randomly generated battles, where you progress by conquering your opponents and upgrading your battalions.
Conquest offers a truly dynamic campaign in which you are free to choose a path for your army in an attempt to conquer territory on a dedicated map. These attempts are challenged by AI battalions, who will be consistently counter-attacking in an intense fight to capture it back.
Multiplayer Mobilised
Men of War II will also showcase more than 20 hand-crafted multiplayer maps, 5 dedicated PVE game modes, and 13 game modes for PVP. 5-player co-op will also be implemented for all narrative and historical campaigns, as well as individual missions.
Robust Mod Support
The action never stops thanks to a significantly redesigned and modified GEM RTS engine. With a comprehensive editor and full mod support at launch, Men of War II is primed to keep growing with community-created content, and we can't wait to see what amazing new battlefields, units, or whole armies our fans will come up with!
We wholeheartedly appreciate the support and constructive criticism from you, our community. While we have unveiled most of the launch content for Men of War II now, we still have a few surprises the dev team is working on, which we believe will please especially the franchise veterans. We will be sharing more details about that and more information about the campaigns and game modes we already teased today, before the release.
Make sure you wishlist the game to not miss any new announcements, and we will also be happy to see you on the official Men of War II Discord server!
