Trailer: Men of War II dated, heads back to the front this September

Yearning for more strategic WWII action? The long-awaited RTS sequel, Men of War II is officially dated, and will arrive this fall for the PC.

War is hell

At launch, the game will feature three huge single-player narrative campaigns, which will guide the player through explosive fictional stories set against a historically accurate background. Featuring plotlines from three global powers – the Americans, Soviets and Germans – players will utilise military strategy to lay waste to their adversaries and fulfil various tactical objectives. 

The American campaign, ‘The Falaise Pocket’, sees players taking 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’, players 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. 

Each story chronicles the breadth of struggle and conflict from the historical backdrops that they are set upon, giving the player a realistic experience with intense real-time battle action.   

Alongside these heart-stopping narrative battles, six further bonus standalone missions provide players with even more heart-stopping action. 

Fulqrum Publishing press release

Men of War II is set to be a huge RTS, encompassing the above trio of story campaigns, plus Allied and Soviet “historical” campaigns, randomly generated “raid” battles, and a “dynamic campaigns” mode called Conquest, that sounds a lot like a mix of territory-capture and horde mode. That’s plus mod support and full multiplayer, which will feature a total of 20 “hand-crafted” maps, playable across 5 PvE and 13 PvP modes.

Look for Men of War II to all onto the PC this September 20th.
