Jour J pour Panzer Corps 2

Après un développement qui se sera avéré plus long que prévu, le jeu avait été annoncé au printemps 2017 pour une sortie espérée l’année suivante, voici que ce désormais grand classique du wargame sur PC est accessible à tous.

Au menu, un contenu très conséquent, de nombreuses unités, une soixantaine de scénarios coté Wehrmacht uniquement pour l’instant, un rendu graphique très soigné, ou encore un mode multijoueur coopératif contre l’IA, en plus des habituels mode Hotseat (chaise tournante) et par email (via les serveurs PBEM++ de Slitherine). Cerise sur le panzer, le jeu est fourni avec un éditeur de scénario a priori robuste et puissant.

Pour quelques autres aperçus rapides du gameplay, voyez par exemple la playlist suivante, montrant divers exemples de tactiques possibles.

The king is back! Panzer Corps 2 is out!

The wait is over: Panzer Corps 2, the ultimate World War II strategy game, is now available for purchase.

Generals, it is time to start your Panzer Division’s engines. Take command of the Wehrmacht war machine, from the invasion in Poland in 1939 to the final defence of Berlin in 1945. You’ll fight battle after battle using the classic turn-based hex system all wargamers have loved since Panzer General, the father of a genre to which Panzer Corps 2 is the spiritual successor.

Enjoy the massive amount of content, including more than a thousand unique 3D unit models, over 60 scenarios forming the Wehrmacht grand campaign, an advanced random map generator for playing skirmish games against the AI or other players. Since the modding community was such a great part of the first Panzer Corps, in the sequel you will find a much improved Scenario Editor available to support mods from day one.

“Panzer Corps started ten years ago as a passion project by a single modder. We took it to the market with the idea of bringing back a genre that made the history of gaming as we know it, and we are proud to have achieved that”, said Iain McNeil, Slitherine CEO. “Not only Panzer Corps became a very successful game, it also contributed to inspire others to reinvent turn-based strategy and make it one of the core genre of the 21st century. We see Panzer Corps 2 as the testament of all this journey and we are confident players will celebrate it with us”.

You are able to acquire Panzer Corps 2 in three different editions: the base game, the General Edition or the ultimate Field Marshal Edition, each one with exclusive bonus materials.

Furthermore, take advantage of Slitherine’s exclusive offer: starting now and for one week you will be able to acquire a physical copy of Panzer Corps 2 at no additional cost except postage cost.

Due to delays with localization French, Portuguese (Brazil) and Polish will be added as fully supported languages in a few days. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we promise it will be well worth the wait.
