DLC Coming for Men of War II

I love RTS games, and I especially love it when old franchises make a return to the modern gaming market. Men of War II is the sequel to a classic strategy title that was first released back in 2009. If you’ve never heard of the series, here’s some of what you can expect from the game according to the press release.

“Experience epic stories told in three narrative campaigns. Lead the desperate Soviet defense against the initial brutal onslaught on the Eastern Front; become a US commander in Normandy, having to improvise with limited resources and adapt to unfamiliar ground, in order to overcome the Nazi war machine.” Within this detailed historical setting, you can dive into competitive PVP and Co-op modes that will allow you to freely customize your forces with dozens of historically accurate units and create sweeping campaigns utilizing the built-in modding tools. Now ahead of the May 15th launch, publisher Fulqrum has announced a surprise free DLC pack.

The Frontline Hero pack will be available to players who purchase Men of War II within the first week of launch. This expansion comes with new cosmetic features such as six exclusive avatars and two profile badges. Furthermore, the DLC will contain four new tank units: the M4AE3 Sherman, Panther Ausef. A, T-34 85, and finally the T-34 85M. These tanks are manufactured by the American, German, and Soviet forces respectively, and will be a valuable addition to an assault force. However, those who don’t purchase the DLC are still eligible to unlock these units in-game through the completion of various missions.

As a further incentive to jump into the game right away, Fulqrum are also offering a discount of 10% off the deluxe edition of Men of War II. This version contains the base game along with the Frontline Hero DLC, digital artbook, and official soundtrack. Men of War II will launch on May 15th for PC through Steam and the Epic Games store starting at 44.99$
