Battlefront.com and 1C today announced that Theatre of War has gone gold and will be available on April 19th.

The much anticipated World War Two real-time strategy game by the creators of IL-2 Sturmovik and the makers of Combat Mission, will be released already in just a few days worldwide on April 19, 2007, initially via digital delivery from Battlefront's download portal at www.battlefront.com, and a couple of weeks later in a DVD version with printed manual available by mail. Theatre of War is not sold in stores due to Battlefront's "independent publisher" policy.

Due to the high demand and large number of pre-orders and to be able to deliver the anticipated download bandwidth required especially for the first days of release, Battlefront has multiplied its file hosting capacity by partnering with Fileburst, one of the leading high volume data delivery service providers on the market.

The gold demo for the game will be available for public download in just a few days.
