Blitzkrieg 3 Bombards Steam Early Access

Blitzkrieg 3, the thinking man’s wargame, has bombarded Steam with a round of Early Access shells. Nival’s real time strategy series is an intoxicating mix of base building and historic battles, with a hefty nod to authenticity.

I dimly remember the original Blitzkrieg titles being hard as nails, but the tactical battles won me over. Blitzkrieg 3’s taking a slightly different tack, however. Billed as an MMORTS, Blitzkrieg 3 features asynchronous multiplayer whereby gigantic bases can built and then be tested against foes while you’re away.

“The best way to get the game that you want is to take part in the development process” said Sergey Orlowskiy, the CEO and founder of Nival. “Steam Early Access is the perfect portal for players to become involved, to play the game and provide us with invaluable feedback on how and where they would like to see Blitzkrieg 3 go.”

Nival’s targeting a proper launch of Blitzkrieg 3 in about four of five months, with the final game featuring a hefty single-player campaign covering the entirety of World War II, from the invasion of Poland through until the fall of Berlin.

Blitzkrieg 3’s available now for £22.99/$29.99, and up until May 12th you can net yourself free copies of the original games if you grab it.
