Panzer Corps 2: Elite – 1st Guards Announced

panzer-corps-2-elite-1st-guardsAchtung, Panzer Generals!

Special announcement today! The Panzer Corps 2: Elite DLC continues with its second installment: a Soviet campaign titled 1st Guards!

As with the Ghost Division before, the focus once again falls on following the battles of the very best a nation involved in the Second World War had to offer, and for the Motherland, this means the Soviet Guards!

With the glowing reception and success of Elite – Ghost Division, and while larger mega campaigns continue their production, we’re eager to fulfill the ideal of the Elite series to bring each major nation its own Panzer Corps 2 campaign. And who better to represent the soldiers of the USSR in their debut campaign than the 1st Guards?

As before, the Elite series is also resolved to its commitment to fight against rising inflation, and will once again release at the 4.99 USD price point. We were extremely pleased with the player reception from Ghost Division, and see no good reason to arbitrarily raise this series’s price point.

Because in the end, that is what really matters, that we’re making great content that our players are excited to enjoy at fair exchange.

To uphold those values, we’ve got a great campaign lined up, filled with awesome battles of epic size. Elite – 1st Guards is stuffed full of key battles ranging from 1937 all the way to 1945, and you’ll be deploying almost twice as many CORE units to battle over the previous Ghost Division campaign.

The 1st Guards
When Operation Barbarossa was launched in June of 1941, there was no such thing as a ‘Guards’ unit. By the time World War II ended in 1945, over 200 formations carried the venerated title of ‘Guards’; from Guards Rifle Divisions to Guards Tank or Guards Mechanized Divisions to even Aviation Regiments and entire Guards Armies.

We’ll reveal a more information about this new campaign in an upcoming Developer Diary, but for now you can check out the store page for some more details and screenshots.
