Red Orchestra 2 Rising Storm Expansion Announced

While the reviews on Red Orchestra 2 are polarized, ranging from 50 to 80%, 1C Company is continuing to push the game and the franchise forward with the announcement of the new Rising Storm expansion for it.

Rising Storm brings the gritty realism and intense action of Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad to the Pacific Theatre, pitting the US Marines and Army against the Imperial Japanese Army in some of the iconic battles of that theatre: Tarawa, Kwajalein, Saipan, Iwo Jima, Peleliu and more.

The game also features new weapons, including Flamethrowers, and Japanese having the ability to set grenade booby traps. It also brings the drama and excitement of the infamous Japanese �Banzai� charges to the Red Orchestra experience.

Rising Storm release is scheduled for 2012.
