Deep Silver announces D-Day DLC for Iron Front - Liberation 1944


Deep Silver and X1 Software/AWAR today announced “D-Day”, an add-on pack for the tactical World War II shooter Iron Front – Liberation 1944. The DLC takes the player to the western theatre of the war where, in Normandy, the Allied armed forces fight against the German troops. ”D-Day” will be released in December 2012 and will be exclusively available on PC.

The DLC pack features new items and troops, as well as new scenarios that allow players to now take on the role of American soldiers, pilots and tank crew members and fight for the freedom of France in Normandy. Their armoury includes, amongst others, the M1 Garand rifle and the BAR machine gun. Assistance from the air is provided by the likes of the P-47 Thunderbolt, whilst the Sherman tank helps keep the ground forces in check. The German troops have also enhanced their arsenal, including the Tiger I tank.

The release date and the price of the DLC will be announced soon. Iron Front – Liberation 1944 will also receive a new patch.

About Iron Front – Liberation 1944

Iron Front – Liberation 1944 is based on the engine of ARMA II Operation Arrowhead by Bohemia Interactive. The story takes place in southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the summer of 1944. The player takes on the role of a Russian or German infantryman, using teamwork, tactical skill and authentic war machines to battle for victory. The German campaign focuses on slowing the advance of the Soviet troops, while the Soviet campaign is all about breaking through the enemy's resistance. However, the player does not have to do all this on foot: Using their computers, tacticians will control tanks, including the famous German battle tank Panzerkampfwagen VI or "Königstiger" and the Russian Stalin tank JS2, or fighter planes such as the Focke Wulf 190 and dive bombers like the Stuka or the Petlyakov PE-2.

Online is where the battle really heats up in Iron Front – Liberation 1944: Players can complete missions either cooperatively or compete with each other in special multiplayer modes such as ‘Capture the Flag’ or ‘Attack and Defense’. Iron Front – Liberation 1944 also includes an extensive mission editor, enabling players to intuitively create their own mmissions and share them with their friends online, thus guaranteeing that there will never be a shortage of new missions.
