Not only will players fight to advance to the front-lines in battles against one another online, they’ll also conquer nations in Battleline: Steel Warfare’s meta-gameplay encompassing entire continents.

Strategy is key in Battleline: Steel Warfare, and each victory contributes to a team’s dominance in the international theater of war. The title is named after the main mode in the game where teams push a visible battleline back and forth as they take objectives and maneuver on the battlefield.  Advancing the battleline by overrunning your enemy’s positions is the way to win the battle!  Players can build Divisions (guilds) with other players to use the combined strength of their tanks to strategically outmaneuver, take down enemy forces and conquer nations. However, be warned that rebellion is possible!

With the sheer variety of tanks from the modern era all the way back to WWI, tank maniacs can finally figure out how many T34s it would take to bring down an M1A1.  Or match up Western vs. Soviet forces in the ultimate tank showdown.  The possibilities are endless!

Players can customize their tanks by leveling up each tank’s attributes and equipping different shells or gear for various effects. Building and capturing bases within conquered territory will also greatly affect the battle, offering gameplay bonuses to allies. Commanders can also equip various consumable items to be used in the heat of battle.

In the first beta players will have a first look at the diverse range of classic and modern tanks, and experience real-time strategy (RTS) combat as they advance the battleline and take down enemy tanks.

Interested fans can sign up for the closed beta on the official website.

A Twitch livestream will take place on Thursday 11/13 starting 6:00PM.
