Steel Division 2 News

Commander! We know you are knee-deep in the Steel Division 2 non-stop Beta - and we sure hope you are enjoying it - but we have some pretty exciting news to share with you. Are you ready?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/919640/Steel_Division_2/

Pre-order the game now through our online shop, on Steam, Gamesplanet or Humble Bundle to secure your access to the Beta!

Tomorrow, the 6th of June, we will be celebrating Operation Overlord’s 75th anniversary by letting the players in the Beta access all the units and nations available from Back to War pack. This means you will be able to command eight new divisions, including American, Canadian, British and French divisions (as well as four German divisions), and 350+ units (including some never-before-seen ones) from Steel Division: Normandy 44. You will be able to play with these divisions in the non-stop Beta in exactly the same way as you would with the Steel Division 2 divisions and battlegroups: in Skirmish in solo, multiplayer and coop up to 5v5 players.



This new Update will also feature brand-new, awesome battlefields:

• Orsha East
  
• Beshankovichy
  
• Lake Naratch
  
• Shchedrin
  

The Back to War pack will only be available to the players who have pre-order the game and have access to the Beta. At Steel Division 2’s release, this pack will be granted for free to all owners of Steel Division: Normandy 44. It will be a paid DLC for others. So if you haven’t, make sure to get our first Steel Division game - you won’t be disappointed!



With the Back to War pack, you will get four additional nations, eight new divisions, as well as 350+ units, including iconic units such the formidable Königstiger, the powerful Achilles tank destroyer or the Sherman Firefly. These divisions will be tweaked to take into account Steel Division 2’s new tactical gameplay, with the updated 3D models for the units, viewable in all their glory in the Armory. It gets even better: you will also get the chance to play with a number of exclusive units, not featured in our games previously.

8 Back to War Divisions

• 2e Division Blindée
  
• 3rd Canadian Infantry Division
  
• 3rd US Armored
  
• 15th Scottish Infantry Division
  
• 21. Panzer
  
• 116. Panzer
  
• Panzer-Lehr
  
• 352. Infanterie
  

Exclusive New Units

• M4 High Speed Tractor
  
• Laffly S35T & V15T trucks
  
• 5,5-inch Howitzer

But.
That's.
Not.
All.
(Folks)

We are glad to announce that players who preorder Steel Division 2 will also be able to unlock Two Exclusive Divisions featuring awesome Exclusive Units to deploy on the battlefield! Let's have a look on these new toys!


On the German side, the 1. Skijäger-Division is a heavily mechanized elite infantry division. It features the famous Sturmpanzer KV-2(r) heavy tank and the Panzerjäger Gazelle Exclusive Units!



The Soviet Army will get the 3rd Guards Tank Corps, a fantastic Armored Division featuring the state-of-the-art 85mm AA/AT guns, as well as the very last of the IS-2 family, the IS-2 obr.44.

Of course, this is not a pay-to-win offer and these two Exclusive Divisions will be reasonably balanced, powerful enough to be enjoyable on the battlefield but not made to dominate all the A-rated Divisions of the game.




As a reminder, this offer is only available for players who preordered Steel Division 2 and won't be available after the game's release, so don't wait!

Pre-Order Steel Division 2 now to unlock your bonuses and get ready for the Beta starting on Wednesday, May 29th!
