This stand-alone expansion features a completely new cooperative skirmish game mode with access to five different nations (Russia, Germany, USA, Commonwealth and - for the first time ever in the Men of War series - Japan) as well as increased realism and accessibility. MOSCOW, Russia - Leading Eastern and Central European publisher, 1C Company, announced today the development of Men of War: Assault Squad, the sequel to the critically acclaimed real-time tactics game Men of War. (I spoke of my love for the original Men of War here, and also in a secondary bonus ode published by The Escapist, here.) It's also going to expand the feature set a bit for your little men, with hero units, 'remote controlled bombs that can flatten entire residential blocks, airstrikes able to destroy incoming tank columns, special 'For the Motherland!' charge attacks.' Even more interestingly: 'the ability to buy individual soldiers to suit players' needs the ability to buy individual soldiers to suit players' needs.' Full press release below, and I'll have even more details next week, along with some assets. There will be new multiplayer maps, and 4-player online and LAN co-op. This is intended to be an expandalone focusing on the skirmish, co-op and multiplayer elements of the existing game.
1c and DigitalMindSoft have sent word that there is to be a new game in the Men of War series: Assault Squad.
