World In Conflict – Pre-Order Bonuses Detailed
The (last) Cold War coming to a PC near you this September
Following hot on the heels of the news that the marvellous action-strategy World In Conflict is due for release on PC this September (with a release date on the recently-announced 360 version of the game still to be announced) it’s good to hear that Vivendi is kicking off a rather tasty pre-order promotion for Massive Entertainment's game.
From 22nd June, gamers who pre-order World In Conflict from GAME stores will also bag a bonus Declassified: The Rise and Fall of The Wall DVD from The History Channel; access to a Beta event; bonus multiplayer maps, and special multiplayer account privileges – such as being able to ensure you get the handle you want before release.
You can see SPOnG’s recent interview with the guys over at Massive Entertainment here, to find out more about the history of this, err, alternate history Cold War action-strategy game, which simply posits the terrifying question, "What if the Cold War didn’t end?
If you are too young to remember that period of our history, don't worry. President Putin seems intent on cooking up a new one sometime very soon. In the meantime, play World In Conflict to see how it all pans out should it ever go nuclear. Then pray to whatever god you can that it never does!
In Vivendi’s own words: “The game represents the next-generation of strategy games, pitting Cold War-era superpowers against one another with completely destructible 3D battlefields, blistering visual utilizing DX10 technology, and an innovative gameplay mechanism, removing traditional resource-gathering and base-building in favor of non-stop combat, tactical decisions and an FPS-like addiction to intense action.”
“World in Conflict marks a great step forward for the strategy genre, effectively blurring the lines between strategy, action and first-person-shooter,” said Cindy Cook, chief marketing and strategy officer for Vivendi Games.
