Paradox Interactive announced today that they are working with Eugen System to bring their new real-time strategy title Steel Division: Normandy 1944 to PC. Developed by the creators of the renowned Wargame series, as well as the sadly overlooked R.U.S.E., Steel Division: Normandy 44 will put players in command of historically accurate armed forces, including tanks, infantry and armored vehicles during the height of the Second World War. Gamers will be able to tackle a singleplayer campaign or take the fight online, with 10 versus 10 battles being touted as a hallmark feature.

Game features:

• Command Over 400 Historically Accurate Units: Whether fighting for control in intense multiplayer battles with up to 10-vs-10 players going head-to-head, playing alone or working with friends in ranked matches, players will need to coordinate their selection of historically accurate infantry, tanks, aircraft, and support vehicles to counter enemy units in this Tactical RTS game.
• Real-world Tactics: Battles rage over three distinct phases, where different units unlock over time, mimicking the movements of real-world armies and adding variety to the ever-changing theatre of war. A dynamic front line illustrates the ebb and flow of the conflict.  Pin down your opponent’s infantry to gain the advantage and force a retreat, or push through with a perfectly executed plan.
• Real-world Setting: Using the latest version of Eugen’s IRISZOOM engine, players can smoothly zoom from a tactical aerial view all the way down to a single unit, and see 400 different real-world vehicles and units designed with careful historical detail and accuracy. Maps are designed based on actual aerial reconnaissance photos of Normandy in 1944, requiring real-world tactics and strategies to cover and control.
• Outplan, Outsmart, Outgun: From battlegroup customization to troop positioning and maneuvering, winning battles requires cunning and strategy, not just raw firepower. Each unit lost presents a growing tactical disadvantage, and players will need to fight to gain – and keep – the upper hand.
