ORDER OF WAR will feature massive scale battles brought to life with a
cinematic intensity never seen before in a WWII strategy game. Players
will take command of an entire army including ground troops, artillery,
tank divisions and aircraft in all out strategic assaults. The
single-player mode can be played out in two campaigns:American versus
German forces on the western front and German versus Russian on the
eastern front,“ missions will be based on key historic events and
operations from 1944.

ORDER OF WAR will be Square Enix’s first
release of a western developed game outside of Japan, and one which
will see the company release the title simultaneously across multiple
territories.

John Yamamoto, president and chief executive
officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “ORDER OF WAR offers Square Enix
an exciting opportunity to enter this hugely popular genre, and is a
strong proposition for our first western developed release. With its
cinematic intensity, hugely realistic battles and historical accuracy,
the game looks set to whet the appetite of any war gaming fan.”

Victor Kislyi, chief executive officer of Wargaming.net says, “ORDER OF WAR
will take strategy games in a new, exciting direction, narrowing the
gameplay focus on the best part and challenges gamers to defeat the
most powerful armies of WWII. And we are really glad that this immense
title will be released by Square Enix one of the largest and most
successful publishers in the world.”

About ORDER OF WAR

In the summer of 1944, the Second World War entered its end-game when the
Allies launched two major operations that would drive back German
forces on both the Western and Eastern Fronts at once.

In the ultimate test of military strategy, ORDER OF WAR will challenge you not
only to lead America’s finest to victory in the West, but also place
you in command of German forces charged with repelling the Red Army’s
seemingly unstoppable offensive in the East.
Even the keenest military minds will find that it’s one thing to make history, but quite another to change it.
Do you have what it takes to command?
