Before Men of War, there was Soldiers: Heroes of World War II and it just got a major update to the 20-year old game

From Press Release:

Prague, Czech Republic – January 21, 2025  – Attention, soldiers! Best Way and Fulqrum Publishing are delighted to announce that they have returned to their beloved title Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, the first installment of what would later become the critically-acclaimed Men of War series, which will be receiving an all-new update, over 20 years after the game’s original release.

Players can take control of American, British, Soviet, or German forces to fight in battles set in World War II. While Soldiers: Heroes of World War II is primarily a strategy game, the player can also directly control their forces with a keyboard and mouse as well.

This new update brings many quality-of-life changes, with many new additions bringing this beloved game from the past into the present day. Such changes include the ability to launch the game naturally on Windows 10, the introduction of Steam achievements and stats support, and Steam workshop support for modding. The game’s multiplayer has also been ported over to Steam, as the old networking and lobby libraries have been closed.

The game has also undergone a series of graphical improvements, including introducing 4K support and widescreen monitor support, upgrading rendering from DirectX 8 to DirectX 9, and fixing the aspect ratios in videos, mission intros, loading screens, etc.
