Happy Holidays



Ho, ho, ho, Generals!

It’s the festive season all around so naturally we’re bringing back our Call of Christmas event, too! ‘Santa’ needs your help in the Antarctic again, but this year you will find some additional presents on your way to the pole!
We sprinkled the Snow with more frequent Supply Drops. Chances are high that you will gift yourself a nice Blueprint while playing the event this year!

We highly recommend you login during these days, as you will find some special offers that might be interesting for you.

As the end of 2021 is approaching and while things are slowly calming down for the holidays we would like to take the time and look back. What a year it has been. For all of us in general, and for Call of War in particular. We achieved a lot this year:

  • New Army Labels were introduced.
  • We revamped the building and morale damage.
  • We launched the Rewarded Ads feature.
  • Gold confirmation popups were introduced.
  • Dynamic country names became longer and bigger.
  • The new beta client was made available to desktop players.
  • New shaders were implemented to improve map performance and game experience.
  • Front Reports were reworked and reports about rebellious provinces added.
  • New events like “Saturday Madness” and “Capitol Rush” were released.
  • The official Call of War Discord Server was launched.
  • The AI got smarter in 2021.
  • Tons of Quality of Life improvements were released, like game round chats,increased zoom levels, message filters and many more.
  • Five new playable nations on the 1939 - Historic World War” map are available since this year.
  • ...and we fixed countless bugs in 2021.


We thank all of you for your part in all of this. For playing our game, providing feedback, sharing ideas, letting us know about any bug and for having a great time playing!

Call of Christmas



Ho, ho, ho, Generals!

Pack your warmest clothes and fastest sleds for our ‘Call of Christmas’ event! In this exclusively available event map remnants of the ‘Third Reich’ have kidnapped the world’s biggest industrialist (Codename: Santa) in Antarctica to capitalize on his skills.

Your mission: Conquer and hold two of three Control Points for four ingame days to free Santa and win all his riches (50,000 Gold!).

To spice things up, we removed a lot of AI provinces and made all player countries completely conquerable. Additionally, most resources on the map are now concentrated in several resource hotspots.

During this event Supply Drops spawn much more frequently on the map, giving you an additional chance to collect resources or a valuable blueprint for elite level units as a Christmas gift for yourself this year.

What will be your strategy? Will you secure the Control Points for an early victory, or will you fight over the valuable resource hotspots and supply drops to sustain your army? Decide wisely and strike fast to save Christmas!

Event details:

  • Player count: 50
  • 2x speed
  • All provinces conquerable
  • No coalitions
  • Increased Supply Drop spawn
    • Supply drops can spawn within the first hour of a game
    • Supply drops can be collected until 6 real time hours after they spawned
    • A new supply drop appears on the map within 1 real time hour after the previous Supply Drop was collected or despawned.
  • Winner receives 50,000 Gold
  • Random country selection
  • Starts immediately
  • players flagged as inactive after 2 real life days

Release Notes



Attention, General!

With our last update for 2021 we implement a long list of bug fixes to Call of War!

The lasso tool, which didn't work in some areas on some maps, is working as intended again. Planes are no longer taking a detour around the world, but take the shortest route available again. Ranged units like Artillery also do not temporarily stop moving when attacked by enemy ranged units when on their way to a location. These are just some examples of today’s bug fixes. The list goes on and on.

Apart from taking care of bugs we also re-implemented markers in the center of patrol circles of planes, added confirmation popups for important orders in the game, and renamed High Command to Premium Account.

As usual you find a full list of all changes in the forums and on our Discord server. This is only the last update of 2021. We will continue our efforts and bring new content and features to Call of War in 2022!
