World in Conflict is an RTS that delivers action and coordinated team play amidst a showdown between the Soviet Union and the US, with destructible 3D battlefields, team-based multiplayer and a focus on fast, hard-hitting battles.

Developed by Massive Entertainment, in conjunction with Swordfish Studios, World in Conflict: Soviet Assault brings the groundbreaking action-strategy gameplay World in Conflict to the console audience with all new single-player and multiplayer content, innovative new features, and a completely re-invented design that maximizes the proven gameplay for the console experience.

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault is a true genre-bender – merging elements of strategy, firstperson- shooter and action games – that effectively carves out a new “Action-Strategy” genre in gaming – a genre that has proven to appeal to all kinds of video game players, from action junkies to first-person-shooter enthusiasts to strategy purists.
