The Great War: Western Front is now available for pre-purchase
on Steam in advance of its launch in three days. But since pre-purchases of
Petroglyph's World War I RTS game come with three days of Early Access, the game
is basically available now, despite any indication to the contrary.
This post has details on the launch, system requirements, and more. Here's
the
Official Pre-Order Trailer with a look, and here's what to expect when you
get into the trenches:
The Great War: Western Front offers
players the opportunity to relive or redefine history in one of history’s most
pivotal conflicts, taking command of either the Allied Forces or the Central
Powers. Taking total control of the Western Front as both Theatre Commander and
Field Commander, players will be required to make difficult decisions in both
turn-based grand strategy and RTS gameplay to preserve their faction’s National
Will across an immersive campaign which spans the duration of the war, and can
be extended beyond 1918 based on their actions. Players can choose to start at
the outbreak of the conflict in 1914, or in 1916, assuming leadership at a
pivotal point where public support is fading and both sides turn to new
technologies such as aviation and tanks in an effort to break the
stalemate.
