FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LONDON (March 1st, 2013)
Square Enix, in partnership with Reto-Moto, today
announces the official global launch of the
Heroes & Generals™ -
OPEN BETA. Developed by Reto-Moto, a
Copenhagen-based studio specialising in the creation of original
online entertainment software,
Heroes & Generals is available on PC for
everyone to play - for free.
Heroes & Generals is a new Free2Play Massive
Online FPS with a Strategic Multiplayer Campaign, set in the midst
of World War II Europe, where Axis and Allies fight for control.
The game uniquely merges epic first-person shooter action with a
rich strategic layer, where your decisions have the power to turn
the tide in a battle among thousands of online players. Players can
choose to play as 'Heroes', fighting in the trenches, flying
planes, commandeering tanks and other vehicles, or take control of
the Battlefield as ‘Generals’, determining the
strategic direction of the war and supporting fellow players by
managing battlefield assets, army units and reinforcements.
Never miss out on important developments in the campaign while
you are not actively playing. Stay updated on the progress of the
war by downloading the free companion app
Heroes & Generals: Mobile
Command
(available now for iOS and Android).
Heroes & Generals: Mobile Command gives
you access to a live overview of your active campaign. Observe
Battlefields, Supply Lines and Assault Teams in real-time, and with
the help of a built in chat-client, you can stay in touch with your
brothers in arms 24/7 from virtually anywhere.
Heroes & Generals will also be fully localized and soon
available to play in Russian, German, French, Spanish, Czech and
Polish.
