'Blitzkrieg 3' Update Adds Rank System, Free Steam Weekend

by Rainier on July 19, 2017 @ 11:57 a.m. PDT

Blitzkrieg 3 is a real-time strategy game that paints a realistic picture of World War II – away from the realm of politics or ideology, focused on the battles that ultimately shaped the world we live in today.

Blitzkrieg 3 is an online real time strategy game, where tactical multiplayer combat, player's base development and historical battles merge with each other to create a unique gameplay experience.

Choose your side in the largest conflict in the history of mankind, taking part in combat operations and fighting with real players from all over the world!

Blitzkrieg 3 is a game designed to breath new life into the RTS genre, the main feature of which is a unique asynchronous multiplayer mode. It allows players to fight each other without the requirement to be online at the same time. When attacked the defensive installations, once built by the player, will then fall under the control of the game AI while they are offline.

So while you are away going about your daily life, the enemy will fall in front of your mighty fortress, losing their troops and providing you with valuable resources to enable you to improve your base, or purchase new units for future missions.

Our Blitzkrieg 3 Team is still working hard to improve the game after the release.  The really great update is coming - the 1st PvE mission with Neural Network AI named Boris. And we're happy to present it in the new Dunkirk Operation.

The Blitzkrieg 3 Free Weekend will start from July 20 TO 24, devoted to the bold experiment with Neural Network AI in PvE.

Technical patch №9

What’s new:

1. We are introducing rank system into the game!
Ranks demonstrate your battle efficiency. You can level it up both in PvE and PvP. The higher your rank is, the more modern units you will receive for the wins.
This way, as soon as you unlock the Frontline and win a certain amount of times, you will be able to collect the whole unit park of the game and fight on other eras without completing the missions at all!
Receiving new ranks will also provide you an ability to purchase upgrades for your units (all eras upgrades included) in the Research tab whatever your campaign progression is.

Changes:

1. Now if you click on your nickname while being on the globe you will be able to see a Player Information screen.
There you can find your current rank, see the next one and learn what you must do to achieve it. Also, Leaderboard had been transferred to this screen.
Through pulling your cursor over the next rank you will be able to see which units will be available for dropping down as rewards after you receive it through fighting in PvP or completing a certain mission.
2. Enhanced the sorting system of the reserves on the globe.

Fixed issues:

1. Fixed a bug which caused units to behave incorrectly – some of them did not turn to the target, some didn’t shoot.
2. Aviation you called in is no longer is in flames from the start :)
3. Changed Pz II Luhs gun characteristics slightly .

Key Features:

  • Asynchronous Multiplayer Mode: For the first time ever, PvP in an RTS does not require multiple hours spent in front of a PC monitor on a single battle coupled with long waits looking for an online opponent. Thanks to the asynchronous PvP mode, you can attack enemy bases while your opponents are at work or at school. Are you capable of breaking the defenses created by your opponent and defeating their troops? Are you ready for the ultimate battle of minds!
  • Pay once - play forever: You pay for the game, and you got all the content - with no subscription, and no microtransactions.
  • Two different game modes: Choose your attacking units, lead your troops in to battle, crush the enemy’s defenses and capture his resources - apply your battlefield strategies to ensure victory. But can you also avoid defeat at the hands of your enemy’s battlefield strategies on your own base? Build a strong defensive game plan worthy of a real military strategist!
  • Three playable factions to choose from: Fight as either the Allies, USSR or Axis with over 40 different units available to you with your Base upgrade.
  • Re-arming and upgrading units: Your units don't just fight, they also gain combat experience from each battle they are in. And with that experience they will improve their characteristics, enabling them to be re-armed with more powerful weaponry. In addition, there are further upgrades available in the Science Center.
  • In-game Generals: Every army needs a commander, including yours, so choose carefully! The Generals feature provides players with dozens of commanders to choose from, each with their own unique abilities. For example – some make tanks more powerful in battle, others allow you to capture additional resources, while some generals are especially proficient with infantry operations. Each General garners their own experience for successful operations, upgrading their abilities and becoming more skilled. This filters down to the offensive and defensive units under their command which in turn also become more powerful.
  • Historical Campaign (1939-1945): The historical singleplayer campaign will cover the entirety of World War II, begining with the German invasion of Poland in 1939 and culminating with the victorious march to Berlin by Soviet troops in 1945. During the campaign players will be able to take part as all three factions, experiencing some of the most intersting tactical operations of World War II. The best strategists will receive additional rewards for optimum operation completion.
  • One single game world: You live in the USA and you want to play against an opponent from Germany? No problem, you can still capture his base. In Blitzkrieg 3, players from all over the world play on one game server, in one gaming domain, without any barriers or restrictions.
