Codename Panzers: Cold War Screenshots

Darmstadt, March 8th 2007 – Developers Stormregion and publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS today reveal the first screenshots and pictures from the cut scenes from "Codename Panzers: Cold War". The screenshots give an initial impression of the game and the performance of the completely reworked Gepard3 graphics engine. The new real-time strategy game from renowned Hungarian studio Stormregion is set in the early 50's and takes advantage of an unused and very interesting setting – the Cold War. The new episode in the "Codename Panzers" series will be distributed throughout Europe by Electronic Arts and is due to be released for the PC in the fourth quarter of 2007.

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.
