Beginning in August 1944, the game follows Patton’s Third US Army starting in and moving from the west of France to the heart of Germany. Players will lead their troops into historical conflicts as they battle their way from the blood soaked beaches of Normandy to the war torn streets of Berlin.

“Patton is possibly the greatest known WWII hero in history,” said Len Ciciretto, president of MG. “And this game is by far the best portrayal of war in the world of console turn-based strategy.”

Developed by Slitherine and Enigma Software Productions, History Legends of War: Patton offers a unique combination of console strategy gaming, turn-based tactics, and RPG elements as players cross the Western European Theatre in an epic campaign to end the war. The game features a single player Campaign as well as individual missions, and a local multiplayer Hot Seat mode. Players will be challenged across 21 different missions over 4 unique operations, and command special units including snipers, commandos, fighters, bombers, and more.

Mission types include Attack, Defense, Infiltration, and Sabotage. Additionally, throughout the campaign, players earn and apply prestige points to enhance their army and techniques. Prestige is awarded based on players’ proficiency in completing missions.

“One of the most brilliant aspects of this game is the manner in which your army evolves,” said Ciciretto. “Just as real combat soldiers learn and improve, the game demands and allows the same of its players.”

At the start of each mission, the historical dates of Patton’s battles are displayed on-screen, putting players at the center of the action, and applying a uniquely fact-based framework which completely immerses the player.
