Heroes & Generals eliminates the formulaic baggage that weighs down the shooter genre by delivering satisfying strategic action in a full blown first-person shooter experience. Players are transported from the comfort of their browsers to authentic WWII battlefields, where they fight alongside thousands of gamers for persistent progression and military supremacy.

Each player in Heroes & Generals chooses their own destiny. You might join the Axis and climb the ranks as a foot soldier, firing off countless rounds in epic battles for crucial landmarks. Or perhaps you’ll become a general in the US army and accept the task of deploying resources and reinforcements across a vast strategic map.

Either way your decisions and actions fundamentally impact the game. Whether you play a fearless infantryman blazing the trenches, a hotshot pilot renowned for precision bombing runs, a brutal gunner assigned to a rumbling tank battalion, or the ace commander directing it all from strategic command – every active soldier contributes to an evolving online war that will soon expand to smartphones and tablets as well.

The ‘Basic Training’-update for Heroes & Generals aims to provide new players with a better and more fun first time experience – giving ‘newbies’ a fighting chance and an opportunity to learn the basics of the game by adding task based tutorials as well as tutorial bots to fight with and against.

“With this update we have created our first immersive tutorial as a natural part of the game, where you get to learn the rules of combat while playing the actual game. We want to ease you into what Heroes & Generals is all about, and we want you to have a great time while getting a handle on things,” says Jacob Andersen, Game Director at Reto-Moto.

To get new players faster into battle and make these a bit easier to play, the “Basic Training”-update adds tutorial bots to the game. When a new player enters into battle for the first few times, the servers will only wait for other human players a short while before it tops-up the player’s team with tutorial bots, and matches them against an enemy team consisting only of tutorial bots.

“As a new player you get to have it a bit easy at first. However, after four to five battles you graduate from basic training, and you will go to war facing other human playersas opponents. So you better make the most of your training,” says Jacob Andersen.

Furthermore, Heroes & Generals players get a free Easter egg, in the form of a voucher, containing nine different specialist ribbon boosters that will help their soldiers to become weapons experts and unlock weapon modifications faster. Players only need to enter the voucher code HAPPYEASTER2017 in game to claim the boosters.
