Coming to PC retail and digital download, European Escalation is built around depth and reflection, the key elements of classic war board games and video games. Set in an alternate timeline of real events, the game pits Soviets against allies in a rapidly-escalating struggle for global supremacy. A game that innovates while staying true to the genre, real-time strategy fans will want to explore Wargame: European Escalation when it launches in early 2012.

Wargame: European Escalation features intense real-time battles, stunning graphics, and introduces Iris Zoom, which allows a continuous zoom from a global view of the map to the heart of the action. With strategic gameplay and numerous online multiplayer options via EugenNet, Wargame will unite the world’s biggest strategy fans.

Set in the rarely explored period of 1975-1985, Wargame pits NATO (USA and Western Europe) against the Warsaw Pact (Soviet and Eastern European countries) in battles that explore “what could have been.” The specter of nuclear warfare loomed large over the real Cold War, but this catastrophic outcome was the ultimate last resort as everyone knew that the first one to start nuclear hostilities would end up wiped out just the same. Large, armored offensives through Europe would certainly have been the core of this hypothetical war; and this is what the game’s explosive campaign takes you through!

Wargame: European Escalation will be fully unveiled at E3 in June. In the meantime, we invite you to view the premier images of the game, which will be released on PC (retail and digital distribution) in the first quarter of 2012.
