Hello wargaming fans, we have some good news about Armored Brigade II. We can finally confirm Armored Brigade II will be out on the Matrix Store November 19th 2024.

Earlier this year during our Home of Wargamers event we reported November 15th as the release date. While we were initially aiming for the 15th (the six-year anniversary of the original Armored Brigade) we have decided to move the Matrix store release back a few days so we can launch on a Tuesday.

A Tuesday release also allows us to better support our players if they run into any problems.

Building on the success of its acclaimed predecessor, Armored Brigade II elevates the wargaming experience by skillfully blending accessibility with tactical depthall within a new, more immersive 3D graphic landscape. This finely-tuned balance makes it an ideal choice for both newcomers and veterans of military wargames. Engage in a simulator that offers both pausable real-time and turn-based gameplay, where every decision counts. Authentic, detailed gameplay captivates players of all levels, immersing them in a world where strategy and realism converge.

At the heart of the game are the command and control dynamics. Orders and information take time to be received and executed, influenced by factors such as training, doctrine, distance from HQ, and communication within formations. This system creates tense moments, especially when waiting for orders during critical situations. Players have the flexibility to issue orders to formations using a mix of general commands and specific Standard Operating Procedures. Engage in combat under a variety of weather and lighting conditions, each realistically affecting combat capabilities and tactics.

Armored Brigade II is scheduled for release November 15th on the Matrix Store.
