Heroes and Generals: WWII Gold Rush is now active!


[h3]Dear community![/h3]
All accounts now have an unlimited supply of gold during the Gold Rush*. The event is running until the official shutdown of the Heroes and Generals WW2 servers on Thursday, 25th of May 2023 at 11:59PM UTC

We hope you will join us for a last send off to the original game that started it all. The ‘Gold Rush’ event is our thank you to the community so please have a blast and experiment with any build you can think of!

Until we meet again.

*NOTE: Each account will have a limit on daily purchases and on total active assault teams in the strategy game. This is done to preserve server stability.

Backer Helmets, Gold Packs disabled + Final Event


[h3]DEAR COMMUNITY![/h3]
In today’s update we have added Backer Helmets for everyone who has pledged $5 or more on our HnG 2 Kickstarter. Regardless of the outcome, thank you for believing in HnG 2!

All qualified backers will receive a message on Kickstarter with their reward within 24 hours.

And now for the big news…the official shut down of the Heroes and Generals WW2 servers will be on Thursday, 25th of May 2023 at 11:59PM UTC

With the impending shut down of the servers, we disabled the ability to purchase Gold Packs so anyone with gold to spare can make their final purchases effective immediately.

[h2]A RESPECTFUL SEND OFF[/h2]
We want to give everyone, old and new, a chance to go crazy with all the guns, items and vehicles HnG 1 has to offer. The only way to give a proper farewell is through a gold rush!

On May 2nd 2023 ~10AM CEST all player accounts will have UNLIMITED gold until the servers shutdown.

During the ‘Gold Rush’ each account will have a limit to the maximum number of transaction requests that can be sent to the server per day and a limit to the maximum total number of Assault Teams that can be deployed or queued for deployment in a War. This is done to keep the servers stable and the RTS balance in check.

Letters from the Front 3

[h3]Dear Bartalamey,[/h3]

Home! We are finally coming home! The Soviet high command has signed a peace treaty with the United States and a cease-fire with the German contingency. The Americans have been kind to us, they leased some of their armored personnel carriers to us so we can pull back from the front-lines.

So far our retreat from the front-line has been smooth, both sides seem to hold to their end of the deal. With the speed we are going, I might be back home in just a few weeks. I might be home before this letter even arrives. I cannot wait to drink with you soon and tell you all that I have witnessed!

I wonder though, will the treaties last?

Letters from the Front 2



[h3]Dear Ludwig,[/h3]
We entered these foreign lands only a few days ago, I don’t even know which country we’re in anymore. We can hear some gun sounds in the far distance, we have not seen any action just yet. We have set up camp at the foot of a mountain, just next to a small town. According to command, the Allied forces have a camp of their own nearby. 

This village has little tactical importance and both the enemy and our own forces are small in numbers. Making it the perfect area to hold a little demonstration. We have received some fresh looking weapons in need of testing on a real battlefield. Let’s hope they perform as well as promised.

Or better yet, I hope we don’t have to use them at all.
