Stockholm, Sweden – 18th
April 2011 — Wendros AB and 1C Company are today pleased to announce a Nordic publishing,
distribution and marketing partnership for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of
Stalingrad for Windows PC. "We are very pleased to once again
team up with 1C to release the latest Red Orchestra game, I believe that with
our previous experience with Red Orchestra and our well understanding of the
market, we will be able to push this next title to higher grounds and a bigger
audience" says Henrik Martling, General Manager at Wendros. “Everyone
who plays FPS games knows what Red Orchestra is, this next title will make sure
to keep it that way” says André Persson, Product Manager at Wendros
Heroes of Stalingrad
will take the award
winning Red Orchestra franchise into the next generation of gaming.
Cuttingedge graphics and audio built on Unreal Engine 3, inventive
features and
streamlined realism will deliver an unrivaled WWII experience. Focusing
on the
Battle of Stalingrad and the surrounding operations, both German and
Russian,
from July 1942 to February 1943 the game allows the player to experience
one of
the most brutal battles in all of human history. For the first time ever
in a
first person shooter gamers will be able to experience WWII from the
Axis side
in a German single player campaign. As always with the Red Orchestra
franchise,
Tripwire will aim to deliver unrivaled accuracy and attention to detail,
along
with gritty, vicious combat in multi-player, co-op and solo modes.
Again,
Tripwire have listened to the fans and have designed a whole set of new
features to make the game more accessible and easy to get into – all
while
delivering the tactical shooter realism fans of the original game loved.
The game is set for a August 2011release.
