So here’s a little bit of old-school awesome for your week: World War II Online just rolled out a big update. The 2001 MMORPG remains among the oldest still running and indeed just got a huge influx of new players just a few years ago when it finally launched on Steam. We called it “vintage warfare” at the time, which is still perfect.
“The latest update of WWII Online brought back some of the old school WWII Online flavor to the game,” the devs at Cornered Rat wrote thus week. “These old bunker designs have been completely redone from scratch and have been re-introduced into some of the new towns that were recently added to the map!”
“Campaign 161 started off with a bang as we started in Tier 3 – 1944 equipment. This decision was made by CRS leaders as the Allies have had little playtime with the USA personas, and the new British toys (M10 Achilles and Sherman Firefly Mk IC) since they were introduced. The last two Campaigns have been dominated by the Axis who claimed victory just as the Tier 3 equipment rolled in. Among the excitement for Campaign 161 is the map expansion See the Readme below. Allies have made a dash for the new Holland towns North of the Zeeland area, can the Axis hold their territory? Log in to find out! “
Do note that it’s still primarily a pay-to-play game; the free version accessible on Steam is basically a demo with only a simple character archetype.
