The battles between NATO and the Warsaw Pact are raging more violently than ever, as each side is trying to get to higher ground. The five screenshots released today are testifying once again for the great capability of the graphics engine developed by Eugen Systems: lighting, modelling, visual and sound effects, but also the size of the battlefields and number of units... all aimed at creating a grand visual showcase, while still providing a real depth to strategy. Battles in Wargame: European Escalation are as impressive as they are profoundly tactical! This is all but a mere taste of what awaits all virtual commanders in the huge solo campaign and in its complete multiplayer mode, when the game releases in the first quarter of 2012!
About Wargame: European Escalation

Set in the rarely explored period of 1975-1985, Wargame: European Escalation 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 released on PC in retail and online stores first quarter 2012.
