to North American retail stores today. Blitzkrieg 2 will challenge
gamers to lead their troops into battle through some of the major
theaters of WWII warfare. Featuring a fully upgraded WWII gaming
experience, Blitzkrieg 2 will have players battling through dozens of

Developed
by Nival Interactive, Blitzkrieg 2 takes everything gamers loved about
the original game and kicks it up to a whole new level. Players take on
the role of German, American and Russian WWII battlefield commanders
modeled after their real-world counterparts as they command more than
250 types of historically accurate troops, including 60 varieties
of
ground
infantry. A new, fully 3D graphics engine displays battlefield action in
all its visual glory as Russian Katyusha rocket launchers light up the
night sky with fiery rocket volleys, Stuka bombers drop their deadly
payloads on ground units and artillery annihilates opposing structures.
Historic
conflicts are fought through more than 75 missions, including 10
multiplayer maps, while a powerful mission editor allows gamers to
create custom missions and maps. Whether fighting in the jungles of the
Pacific, the endless Steppe of the Eastern Front, the unforgiving
