CDV Returns to the Front with Three Blitzkrieg Expansions for North America
[For immediate release]
January 19, 2006 -- Cary, North Carolina - Fans of the critically acclaimed World War II RTS Blitzkrieg will soon be able to electronically purchase three exciting new expansions. Previously only available in Europe, Mission Barbarossa, Mission Kursk and Green Devils will soon be available in North America via CDV's new digital distribution service.
The three expansions require an installed copy of the original Blitzkrieg (or Blitzkrieg: Rolling Thunder / Blitzkrieg: Burning Horizon); each adds a number of new units, terrains, buildings and structures, missions and campaigns that significantly expand the game play and value offered by the original game.
Mission Barbarossa
Mission Barbarossa contains nine exciting new campaign-based missions along with two stand-alone missions. The developers have added 28 historically accurate units, updated unit data for all units in the game and new graphical textures. Mission Barbarossa aims to re-create the dramatic historical events that surrounded the outbreak of hostilities between the Soviet Union and Germany in 1941.
Mission Kursk
The 15 missions in Mission Kursk's campaigns will offer gamers a taste of the last great Eastern Front campaign of World War II. Characterized by brutal tank battles that first saw the widespread use of battlefield behemoths like the Tiger and Ferdinand, Mission Kursk contains 40 new units, 25 new structures, additional sound-effects and an upgraded graphics engine. Mission Kursk will offer gamers more than 50 hours of additional game play.
Green Devils
Death from above threatens, as Green Devils introduces Blitzkrieg fans to the game's first extensive airborne campaign. An additional campaign, "9th Panzers," allows players to command units in famous missions such as Dunkirk, Operation Typhoon and Operation Citadelle. From the creators of Blitzkrieg: Burning Horizon and Blitzkrieg: Rolling Thunder, the Green Devils expansion will introduce players to all new battlefields and offer a four-mission "Tank School" that includes skill enhancing tips from the expansion's designer.
