We have a publisher!

Dear Sherman fans,

We are thrilled to announce that we have just signed a publishing deal for Sherman Commander. Once again, we will be teaming up with Daedalic Entertainment with the aim of releasing the game next year (precise date TBA soon). Sherman Commander will feature battles across three different WW2 theatres: Normandy, Battle of the Bulge, and the Battle of Aachen. We are currently working on a tutorial for the game and we will be releasing the demo as soon as the tutorial is ready. We hope that you are excited to hear the news, and you can expect more Sherman Commander news in the near future.
We hope that our new game will indeed be the tactical tank simulator you have been waiting for. Please wishlist the game if you haven’t done so yet, and, in the meantime, we will continue our efforts to finish the tutorial so that you can fully enjoy the demo once it releases.

All best,
The Board of the Company
Iron Wolf Studio S.A.
