Developed by Massive Entertainment, World in Conflict represents the next generation of strategy games, with completely destructible 3D battlefields, aggressive team-based multiplayer action and a focus on fast, hard-hitting battles.

World in Conflict is the highly anticipated action-strategy game from Sierra's own Massive Entertainment that asks the terrifying question, what if the cold war didn't end? The game represents the next-generation of strategy games, pitting Cold War-era superpowers against one another with completely destructible 3D battlefields, blistering visuals utilizing DX10 technology, and an innovative gameplay mechanism, removing traditional resource-gathering and base-building in favor of non-stop combat, tactical decisions and an FPS- like addiction to intense action.

"World in Conflict marks a great step forward for the strategy genre, effectively blurring the lines between strategy, action and first-person- shooter," said Al Simone, senior vice president of marketing, Sierra Entertainment. "The pre-order campaign offers fans the exclusive chance to grab extra maps and materials that would make any game fan or cold war aficionado excited. With its exciting gameplay and amazing technology -- if there's one strategy game to try this year, it's World in Conflict."
