Players can choose to play as the Americans or the Germans with up to 32 others. The Russian and British forces will be added as free expansion in the near future. 

The battles are objective based such as the game mode Domination; where players fight over 5 flags in successive order, and Detonation; where one side has to place explosives on a number of predetermined locations, with each success adding time to the game clock. 

Soldiers can take the role of Marksman, Rifleman, Assault, Support, Specialist, Shotgunner, Machine Gunner, Sniper or Rocket Soldier, with each faction having their own unique weapons. Each class has their own strengths and weaknesses, so players will need to work together to get the most out of their chosen role.  

FPS players need to fall back on their marksmanship, skill, map awareness and tactical cunning. Like in true WW2 warfare, combat in Days of War is brutal, unforgiving and requires extensive teamwork. 

In Days of War, bullets are what matter, not kill-streaks, not wall jumps, and certainly not drone strikes ordered from iPads.

Driven Arts just released Days of War on Steam Early Access, which comes with a great surprise; 100 player battle events! 

Players interested in supporting the continued development of the game can purchase Days of War on Steam Early Access this January at $24.99 (€24.99, £19.99) with 2 factions, 4 maps, and 32 player infantry combat.  Driven Arts will be adding more maps and the British and Russian factions during the Early Access period free of charge (no DLC).

Alongside the Early Access launch and the given roadmap, Driven Arts is announcing the introduction of epic 100 player battles on Omaha Beach. Although the feature is still in development and not added to the base game yet, Lead designer Lee Snodgrass says: “We love tight competitive gameplay more than anyone, but World War 2 was defined by its massive battles and invasions, and we want to bring that experience to Days of War with 100 player combat”. 

The first 100-player-battle weekend event is announced on Steam between the 3rd and 5th of February. Players can see more details in the Steam Hub. 

To celebrate this milestone, 100 Steam keys will be given away via Facebook and Twitter. To participate, follow the social media channels, where instructions will follow soon.

Key Features:

• Frenetic Action. High damage, high recoil, and short respawn times keep it fast paced with high consequence.
• All Weapons Unlocked. Carry a bolt action rifle, SMG, shotgun or deployable MG, right away, no leveling or grinding required to play.
• Immersive WW2 Battles. We've used the latest technology including photogrammetry, laser scanning, motion captured soldier animations, and the power of UE4 to bring you a truly next gen WW2 shooter.
• Objective Based Game Modes. It's not just about the best K/D ratio, its about pushing the line, securing the objective, or destroying the target.
• Full Server Control. Dedicated servers with full in-game administration abilities, tune the experience for you and your clan.
