Panzer Corps 2 News

The first round of the Panzer Corps 2 - World Championship has begun and we're kicking off with the first of our new to multiplayer maps. 

"Bug River" is one of the iconic maps from the original Panzer Corps 2 single player campaign, but has now been re-imagined for multiplayer. It will be the first map competitors will play in the World Championship Tournament.

Rudankort, the lead developer of Panzer Corps 2, had this to say about the new map:

"From my experience playing this map I can add that it is a small square map (19x21 hex) which at the same time offers a big variety of strategic options. Exactly a kind of a map which I personally enjoy the most."

Historically, this battle occured on the 15th of September also and was an offensive in Eastern Poland. Interestingly, it was also the 15th of September when Russia signed the agreement that freed them to invade just days later.

The map will be coming to standard multiplayer along with our next patch. It is also our intent to add an extra map for every round of the tournament and to have these maps also make their way to standard multiplayer. The roster of multiplayer maps will therefore be greatly expanded as the tournament progresses.

We wish everyone playing the best of luck.

The first round will end in 21 days from now, so be certain to complete your match before that time.

Important notice.

The upcoming Panzer Corps 2 World Championships will start on September 15th (and not on September 1st as previously announced).

The good news is that you still have plenty of time to join us and to enjoy the tournament’s features:

- Each round will last 21 days, with 7 days of break until the next round, for a total of 12 rounds.
- There will be an expansion to the roster of available MP maps.
- We will continue to review and may adjust the scoring system to ensure fairness.

We want to remind you that everyone who owns Panzer Corps 2 is eligible to join. Players just need to either log in with their Slitherine account, or create a new Slitherine account (once again, entirely free) and click “Join” under the World Championship icon in the Tournaments page on our website.

The Panzer Corps 2 World Championship Tournament is starting on September 1st and there is still time to join.

This tournament is going to be the biggest and longest Panzer Corps 2 tournament and we are going to make it a yearly event.

We have listened intently to your feedback in the run up to this tournament and will be making some changes:

• Each round will now last 21 days, with 7 days of break until the next round, for a total of 12 rounds.
• There will be an expansion to the roster of available MP maps.
• We will continue to review and may adjust the scoring system to ensure fairness.

There will be prizes, though we have yet to finalize what they will be at this time, so it will definitely be a worthwhile competition.

Panzer Corps goes Pacific

For the first time in its 10 year history the Panzer Corps series is going to thoroughly explore the Pacific theatre of operations in the Second World War. This DLC is the first installment in a new series of campaigns which will portray the dramatic events of the Pacific War.



In this new expansion players can enjoy many new scenarios and be immersed in a completely new set of terrain graphics, new game rules and a new major faction. Pacific is still the good old Panzer Corps 2 game which fans enjoy and love, but at the same time it’s also a new, different and original experience.

At long last Japan has been added to Panzer Corps 2. With the introduction of Pacific, Japan is playable not only in a new campaign, but also in random scenarios and in Multiplayer. It is also fully available to modders and designers of custom content. In addition to that, the USA faction has also received many new units, with a particular focus on famous carrier-based aircraft. Overall, 70 new models will be added to the game.



In the Pacific theater naval warfare played a prominent and critical role, and thus the naval aspect of the game needed to be expanded and have depth added. For this reason, naval game rules have been significantly revamped and extended. All the existing content has also been tested and tweaked to work with the new naval system without any glitches.

The new Pacific campaign represents many famous (and some not so famous) battles which took place between 1941 and 1943, among which are Guadalcanal, Midway, Wake Island and Tarawa. As players have come to expect, after finishing this campaign, it will be possible to save core units and bring them to the next part of the series.

We will reveal and show more of Panzer Corps 2: Pacific and disclose the release date in the next few months. More information can be currently found on its product page.

Take part in the Panzer Corps 2021 World Championship

Today we open sign-ups for what we hope will be the biggest, most important tournament for Panzer Corps ever.

Many will be familiar with the competitive scene in the Panzer Corps franchise (Panzer Corps 1 had over 10 millions multiplayer games played). Slitherine ran several tournaments so far, both for Panzer Corps and its sequel Panzer Corps 2.

This time we want to take it up a notch and start the first Panzer Corps World Championship.

It will be a very long tournament which will have participants face opponents from all over the world, for a total duration of 18 rounds. It will begin on September 1st, the day in which World War II began, and it will last until the end of May 2022. Our goal is to announce the new Panzer Corps World Champion on D-Day, 6th June 2022. 

Everyone who owns Panzer Corps 2 is eligible to join, and it is absolutely free to do so. All that players need to do is to either log in with their Slitherine account, or make a new Slitherine account (once again, entirely free) and click on Join under the World Championship icon in the Tournaments page on our website.

Thanks to Slitherine’s Tournament system, players won’t have to worry about anything: their opponents will be picked by the system (which follows Swiss Tournament rules) and paired multiplayer games will be created automatically. They can be played either live or on PBEM, all the participants will need to do is to open the game and play. They will also receive notifications by mail when a new round is starting, or when it is their turn to play.

It is now possible to leave a mark in the Panzer Corps history: who will be the first World Champion?
