Sherman Commander will bring a whole new perspective on realism in tactical armored warfare simulation, presenting the tank as a slow, lumbering war machine that required the effort of the entire crew to operate. The player will lead his forces from the commander’s seat, with a realistic first-person view through optical sights in the commander’s cupola, as well as from the tactical map.

The game will put a lot of emphasis on the primary role of the Sherman tank, i.e. infantry support. Therefore, the player will often assist and cooperate with various infantry units to achieve tactical advantage in battle. Game mechanics will put emphasis on the most crucial aspects of fire and maneuver tactics, such as reconnaissance, suppression fire, soft and hard cover, morale, flanking, and more.

Sherman Commander will also feature tank duels against more heavily armored and harder-hitting enemy vehicles. Being the underdog in those match-ups will require a thoughtful approach, as each mistake may and will have dire consequences.

Sherman Commander is coming to PC on March 14, 2026.

To mark the occasion, Daedalic Entertainment and developer Iron Wolf Studio have released a new gameplay video featuring developer commentary by Artur Salwarowski of Iron Wolf Studio. 

In the video, Salwarowski walks viewers through the game’s core design philosophy, highlighting the blend of first-person tank action and squad-based tactical combat, with a strong emphasis on infantry cooperation and battlefield awareness.

The commentary also reflects on feedback gathered during the open playtest and how it directly influenced the game’s evolution, including increased unit autonomy and a stronger focus on leading troops from inside the tank rather than from a tactical map. Sherman Commander is developed by Iron Wolf Studio and published by Daedalic Entertainment, with the demo offering an early hands-on look at the refined gameplay systems.

At the same time a playable demo is now available as part of Steam Next Fest.

Sherman Commander will feature various battlefields and combat situations across many theatres, and will pit the player against a dynamic AI that will attempt to outmaneuver and put them on the defensive. A sweeping campaign mode will take the player from the sands of Africa to the cobblestones of German cities, forging and testing their commanding skills in the heat of battle.
