WWII Online News

From ou President, XOOM:

Today I am pleased to announce that CRS has provided Free Play subscription access to ALL veterans of WWII Online, and you may play the game immediately!



Anyone who has ever had a premium subscription has received a Free Play sub added to their primary account, meaning all players of WWII Online will now be able to play - always - with Free Play (limited) access. This is a bold move for us but we believe it's not only a great way to keep players connected, but we think it's the right thing to do during this unprecedented time in our world's history to give all of our players the opportunity to play the game and disconnect from stress. We see this as a perpetual "welcome back soldier" while still maintaining the value of our subscriptions. Please continue reading for more information.

• Access will be limited to Free Play subscription

S! Cornered Rat Software

Take to the skies in WWII Online as a Fighter Pilot or a Paratrooper. This bundle includes two life-time DLCs (one-time purchase) and upgrades your gameplay experience to the air war. Paratroopers are often dropped in-mass over enemy targets to disrupt and take objectives.

As a Fighter Pilot, you will be engaging enemy aircraft or defending your friendly forces from enemy bombers.

It is recommended for optimum experiences to have a joystick, however, you can fly with a mouse and keyboard (we'd rate it as moderate difficulty).



These are the two DLCs included, click the above link ^ for the bundle offer and save 25% for both.
