Heroes & Generals

The gaming industry has no shortage of WWII themed first-person shooters. There are more of them than you can shake a stick at. But Heroes & Generals, the love-child of a partnership between Danish studio Reto-Moto and Square Enix, promises just a little bit more.


It's not a simple FPS in the vein of Call of Duty or a grand scale strategy game along the lines of Hearts of Iron. It's both. Heroes & Generals is named because of this interesting function: players can choose to be a Hero, fighting on the frontline on-foot and in a variety of vehicles, or they can be a General, to ensure troops and combat resources are effectively placed.


It's in Beta phase now, and you can sign up for a Beta pass on the official website. It will be free to play when it gets released, by why not jump in now and have a chance to influence the end result?

Below is one of the trailers for the game, and it's quite a funny one at that. We'll keep our eyes on Heroes & Generals, but let us know if you get a beta pass and how things progress! Enjoy!
