Montreal, Quebec (March 17, 2004) - Publisher Strategy First Inc. and developer Legend Studios announced today that their World War II real-time strategy game War Times has gone gold and will ship to retail stores nationwide later this month.

From Strategy First:

War Times gives players the opportunity to fight some of history’s most prolific battles as the country of their choice: the USA, England, the Soviet Union or Germany.

“War Times premiered at E3 last year and generated a lot of buzz for its unparalleled realism and attention to detail,” said Don McFatridge, President of Strategy First Inc. “The team at Legend Studios stayed on track and has delivered a winning RTS experience any war enthusiast is going to love.”

War Times lets players follow the tumultuous era of the Second World War through their choice of country; each nation is totally different and uses unique strategies in their attack and defense. The 3D campaigns are based on real historical events on land, sea and in the air and give the player full freedom of movement using several different camera angles and zoom features, bringing an unparalleled realism to the fight. Players can choose from 80 different units and can build 70 different structures in their battle, all while gathering resources such as ore and oil and recruiting an army to protect their country’s honor. Multiplayer mode supports up to 14 players and features three skirmish modes: melee, protect the general and total victory.

For a limited time, when players pre-order War Times online at EBGames.com or GameStop.com, they will receive exclusive bonus levels and missions along with a limited edition War Times mousepad. For more information on War Times, please visit www.strategyfirst.com or www.lsgames.com.
