Deep Silver and X1 Software/AWAR today announced that "Iron Front - Liberation 1944" is now available. The tactical shooter is settled in war-torn Poland during the last phase of World War II. Either on the Russian or the German side, players fight to win crucial battles during the summer of 1944 in the campaign mode or the various multiplayer missions. "Iron Front - Liberation 1944" is now available exclusively for the PC.
“Iron Front – Liberation 1944” is based on the engine of ARMA II Operation Arrowhead by Bohemia Interactive. The story takes place in southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the summer of 1944. The player takes on the role of a Russian or German infantryman, using teamwork, tactical skill and authentic war machin es to battle for victory. The German campaign focuses on slowing the advance of the Soviet troops, while the Soviet campaign is all about breaking through the enemy's resistance. However, the player does not have to do all this on foot: Using their computers, tacticians will control tanks, including the famous German battle tank Panzerkampfwagen VI or "Königstiger" and the Russian Stalin tank JS2, or fighter planes such as the Focke Wulf 190 and dive bombers like the Stuka or the Petlyakov PE-2.

Online is where the battle really heats up in "Iron Front – Liberation 1944": Players can complete missions either cooperatively or compete with each other in special multiplayer modes such as "Capture the Flag" or "Attack and Defense". "Iron Front – Liberation 1944" also includes an extensive mission editor, enabling players to intuitively create their own missions and share them with their friends online, ...

In this single player demo, players will get a taste of these visceral and destructive races with two adrenaline-filled domination races in the City Limit District. Discover the intensity of The Unbounded while driving the Wolfseye GT (street class), or take the wheel of a Hurricana CX (super class) in the Shatter the City race. These intense races will give players a sample of the driving ecstasy, bone-shattering destruction, and thrilling domination of Shatter Bay.

Developed by BugBear Entertainment Ltd., RIDGE RACER UNBOUNDED adds a new edge to the famous and already intense franchise with explosive races and impressive destruction.

Additional game modes include action focused on just taking out other cars, drifting and dueling.

In addition to the single player mode, racers can take their driving skills online against other players in several multiplayer modes. RIDGE RACER UNBOUNDED will provide players with unlimited fun by allowing them to dominate cities created by other players, ...
