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.

Developer Driven Arts and publisher Graffiti Games revealed that Days of War will be releasing in January 2020 for PC, with the exact date still to come, followed by PS4 and Xbox One versions at a later time.

The first closed beta test is going to be kicking off on November 22nd at 2pm EST (19:00 GMT) until Nov. 22nd, followed by a second weekend December 13th - 15th.

If you already own the game you still need to sign up for the beta at the link above. If you already signed up for testing last year don't worry you're already at the top of the list. If you can't make this one, there will be a second beta test on the Weekend of December 13th.

This first beta test is going to be very important to testing both client and server stability as well as gameplay, and we look forward to getting your feedback. We've made a lot of changes over the last couple years, so please bear with us as we iron out the kinks.

A few housekeeping items: The beta tests are not under NDA, you do not need to own Days of War to participate, the tests will be held on a separate Steam app which you will access via Steam Key, and everything is subject to change.

Players can sign up for the Closed Beta today at the official website, and can also wishlist on Steam.
