Iron Front: Liberation 1944 gets release date

Deep Silver today announced the release date of the upcoming tactical shooter Iron Front – Liberation 1944. Gamers can play their part in the Soviet offensive in the summer of 1944 from May 25, 2012 in the USA and across Europe. Iron Front – Liberation 1944 will be released exclusively for the PC.

Iron Front: Liberation 1944 is based on the engine of ARMA II Operation Arrowhead by Bohemia Interactive. The story takes place in southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the summer of 1944. The player takes on the role of a Russian or German infantryman, using teamwork, tactical skill and authentic war machines to battle for victory. The German campaign focuses on slowing the advance of the Soviet troops, while the Soviet campaign is all about breaking through the enemy’s resistance. However, the player does not have to do all this on foot: Using their computers, tacticians will control tanks, including the famous German battle tank Panzerkampfwagen VI or “Königstiger” and the Russian Stalin tankJS2, or fighter planes such as the Focke Wulf 190 and dive bombers like the Stuka or the Petlyakov PE-2.

Online is where the battle really heats up in Iron Front: Liberation 1944: Players can either complete missions cooperatively or compete with each other in special multiplayer modes such as “Capture the Flag” or “Attack and Defense”. Iron Front: Liberation 1944 also includes an extensive mission editor, enabling players to intuitively create their own missions and share them with their friends online, thus guaranteeing that there will never be a shortage of new missions.

Iron Front: Liberation 1944 is due to be released exclusively for the PC on May 25, 2012. The website is here for more information.
