Publisher Digitalmindsoft and developer Barbedwire Studios announce Gates of Hell: Ostfront, a new "major" DLC for Call to Arms. This will take the modern warfare RTS game back in time to World War II, and like Colonel Klink threatens to send you to the Eastern Front. This is planned for release by the end of this year and the project already has a Steam Listing. Here's a cinematic announcement trailer and here's more on their plans:

Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront is aimed to convey the realism that strategy players have always desired: Historically accurate visuals and locations, no health bars, no simplifications, no shortcuts taken. Offering unrivalled immersion to give the most legitimate WWII RTS/RTT to date.
