Inspired by the Allied campaign in Axis-occupied North Africa, Operation Torch puts players in command of an American force during its first major campaign against German troops.

Drawing inspiration from real events, the campaign adapts historical moments into a focused single-player experience designed around tactical decision-making and battlefield mastery.
Players will experience the campaign through the perspectives of three American soldiers whose stories frame the conflict from both command and field-level viewpoints. As the campaign unfolds, their perspectives reflect the hardships, losses, responsibilities, and lessons learned as they are forged into the fighting force that will liberate Europe.
Mission-Focused Tactical Gameplay
Operation Torch’s campaign spans 15 missions, challenging players across a range of tactical scenarios and highlighting different units and mechanics. Players will be pushed to master a number of tools, abilities, and strategies to achieve victory.
From beachfront landings and stealth operations to defensive actions and large-scale assaults, every mission presents a distinct combat scenario focused on engaging tactical gameplay.
