Kalypso Media Announce Sudden Strike 4, "Revered WWII Franchise" Back In 2017
The real-time strategy franchise Sudden Strike will be back next year for PC and PS4, announces publisher Kalypso Media. It's not a remake either but a full entry to the series.
What separates Sudden Strike from most of the other real-time strategies is the love affair it has with authentic and tactical use of its forces, with Kalypso and developer Kite Games promising the biggest battlefields to-date.
”Kalypso continues its tradition of reviving and invigorating classic titles and IPs, and the excitement surrounding the announce of Sudden Strike 4 cannot be understated,” says Simon Hellwig, Global Director of Kalypso Media.
“The team at Kite Games consists of many talented individuals with an outstanding pedigree with World War II RTS titles, and the commitment and passion they are pouring into Sudden Strike 4 confirms that Kite Games is the perfect partner to bring this revered series back to the forefront of the RTS community.”
Three extensive campaigns make up Sudden Strike 4's single-player campaign covering the Allied, German and Soviet forces with over 100 different units to command in battle. There are also nine different commanders to choose between giving unique abilities.
Pre-purchasing begins today for Sudden Strike 4 on Steam with 15% off. The Battle of Kursk is offered as a pre-order bonus map, which was host to one of the largest tank battles in World War 2. The PC version also comes with Steam Workshop support.
