Call to Arms: Panzer Elite

Today, the first major content update for Call to Arms: Panzer Elite is hitting Steam Early Access. The update marks a key milestone in the game’s evolution, introducing the United States as a fully playable faction and expanding the battlefields of its growing WWII tank warfare experience.

Players can now enter the war from the American perspective with the addition of a lineup of classic U.S. tanks and the first dedicated mission, Operation Frost Line. This single-player and co-op Conquest scenario delivers intense winter combat and tactical depth, setting the stage for future missions already in development.

The update also brings two new skirmish maps – Kleinhau and Le Mesnil-Tove – available across 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 modes, alongside a range of under-the-hood improvements to sound, interface, and vehicle handling to make every clash feel more authentic and immersive.

Every shell fired. Every maneuver made. Every decision counts.
