Men of War II has pushed its release date to 2024 following community feedback

Fulqrum Publishing has pushed the release date of Men of War II to 2024 following valuable feedback from players participating in public playtests held between March and August. The second addition to the acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) franchise was originally scheduled to launch in September of this year.

The development team at Best Way, the Ukraine-based studio behind the game, explained that although the title is “content and feature complete” and that public playtests revealed an avalanche of constructive suggestions, they require more time to achieve the level of technical perfection they are aiming for in their final product. The developers also mention that the continuing conflict in their home city of Severodonetsk has had a negative impact on their ability to work on the project and have asked for patience from gamers while they work to address these issues and deliver a bug-free Men of War II to players next year.

A sequel to the acclaimed 2009 title, Men of War II promises to offer fans a new experience featuring improved graphics, a more detailed sandbox environment, destructible buildings and advanced AI. The game is set on the Western and Eastern Fronts of World War II and combines the series’ trademark historical accuracy, action-packed gameplay, and tactical depth with new units, campaigns, locations, and game modes.

According to the press release, Fulqrum Publishing and Best Way have decided to delay the release of Men of War II until 2024 to give the team more time to address bugs and improve the gameplay experience. The team will continue to communicate with the community and provide regular updates on the progress of the game’s development.

While many WW2 strategy games have been released in the last decade, the release of Men of War II is much anticipated by fans of the series as it’s the first official continuation of the series since the original game was launched in 2008. While spin-offs and titles developed by other studios were released under the title, gamers are eager to see what Best Way has in store for them this time.
