Free Call To Arms – Gates of Hell: Ostfront DLC
One of the best RTS games of all time, and certainly one of the best World War 2 games you can play in 2025 just got a massive free DLC as a gift for commemorating the 10 years since the team began working on Gates of Hell. Called Jubilee, the DLC has 3 single-player missions for the USSR and Germany, new units, and 5 new multiplayer matches.
Call to Arms: Panzer Elite
The Call to Arms franchise is expanding once more, and now it’s going to become a first-person/third-person tank commanding game titled Call to Arms: Panzer Elite, and I’m not sure how I feel about this one. There are, in fact, not enough single-player tank games set in World War 2 right now, but using an engine that was designed for a strategy game and contorting it to become a tank game is something I’m rather skeptical about, but hey! The team hasn’t let me down yet, so I’ll keep my hopes high, but my expectations in check.
What’s Going On With Men of War 2?
Things aren’t looking all that great at Men of War 2. The team came out with a worrying statement saying that despite the game not been abandoned, “the situation surrounding updates and new content for the game is complicated”, and that they’ll be working on Men of War 2 for the foreseeable future, but went on to ask the community for help in positively reviewing the game. While I understand their request, it seems rather disingenuous of them to ask for such things when the game’s blatantly unfinished and still needs plenty of work in bug fixing (especially with movement), multiplayer matchmaking, and bad AI.
If I were you, I would hold on to purchasing the game until they finally fix what’s wrong with it. If they fail, they fail.
Expeditions: Rome Developers Greenlight New Title
After nearly two years of being gone, it looks like the team behind the Expeditions series of strategy/rpg games, can finally let the fans of the series breathe a lot more easily, as they have finally came out and confirmed that, despite a rough few years after the release of Expeditions: Rome, they are working on a new entry to the series, set in a new time and place. I have not yet dived into this series of titles, but I plan to, eventually. If you have any experience with it, please do let me know if there’s any particular game I should start with.
1776 Announcement Trailer | War of Rights
War of Rights, a game I’ve been wanting to dive into for quite a while now has released a new time-limited event called War of Rights: 1776, letting you experience colonial line-warfare up to 400 players in a single battle. As expected, the community reaction was one of jubilation and want, with players clamoring for a permanent fixture. Now that I think about it, the Revolutionary War is something we rarely see in video games, and aside from the untimely abandoned Ultimate General: American Revolution, I can’t think of another recent game
