New "Codename: Panzers - Cold War" Screenshots Released
Darmstadt, February 21, 2008 - Developer Stormregion and publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS today released new screenshots and the box art for "Codename Panzers: Cold War." The screenshots offer a glimpse of the variety in the game's levels as well as demonstrating the completely re-worked Gepard3 graphics engines performance. The new real-time strategy game from famed Hungarian studio Stormregion is set in the early 50's, during the Cold War. From Berlin's Tempelhof Airport players set out on a campaign that will take them through Western Europe to far-off Kazakhstan. The newest episode of the "Codename Panzers" series is due for release on PC in March 2008.
During the Cold War conflict, a period in which the differences of opinion between the Allied occupying forces and the Soviet Union become ever sharper, an airplane accident occurs over Tempelhof Airport during the Berlin Blockade, with grave consequences. The tragic collision of an American airplane carrying relief goods with a Russian fighter plane costs not only the lives of both crews, but also overstretches the already tense relations between the occupying forces. Under the command of the merciless Stalin, the Red Army has undergone a tremendous expansion at the end of the Second World War and has more-or-less been waiting for the right time to extend their territory to the West by attacking the NATO.
