A ce qu’il semble, les créateurs du mod Liberation pour ArmA se sont payés une licence du moteur d’ArmA 2 et développent à présent leur propre jeu commercial intitulé Iron Front – Liberation 1944. Le communiqué de presse annonce un FPS tactique, développé par X1 Software et édité par Deep Silver (fiche officiel du jeu). Il devrait sortir en exclusivité sur PC à la fin de l’année (Q4 2011).
Iron Front proposera deux campagnes se déroulant dans le sud de la Pologne durant l’été 1944. Du côté soviétique, vous devrez mener l’Armée Rouge à travers les défenses de la Wehrmacht. Alors que durant la campagne allemande, vous vous appliquerez à ralentir la progression des forces russes.
Le jeu semble assez similaire à ce que propose actuellement ArmA : beaucoup de combats d’infanterie, mais également la possibilité de diriger des tanks et des avions. Bien qu’il propose deux campagnes jouables en solo, Iron Front se focalise sur le jeu en ligne avec des missions coopératives et des modes de jeu compétitifs comme du CTF ou du « Attaque & Defense ». Enfin, sachez que le jeu inclura un éditeur de missions. Merci à Guybrush pour l’info.

This fall, Deep Silver and X1 Software send fans of tactical gameplay and shooters back to 1944 in « Iron Front – Liberation 1944 ». The location? Southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the summer of that year, when the infantry and tank units of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht engaged in fierce combat. « Iron Front – Liberation 1944 » is based on the engine of ARMA II Operation Arrowhead by Bohemia Interactive.
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 either complete missions 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 missions and share them with their friends online, thus guaranteeing that there will never be a shortage of new missions.
« Iron Front – Liberation 1944 » is due to be released exclusively for the PC in the fourth quarter of 2011.
