Starting today, fans will be able to hit the front lines and try out the new classic and realism modes, before the release on September 20th, 2023. The Final Beta will be open to the public starting Thursday, August 10 through Monday, August 14th at 7pm CEST on Steam.
This open beta gives fans the chance to experience Men of War II‘s highly-requested ‘Classic’ setup for matches through the custom lobby, taking players back to the multiplayer experience of previous Men of War games. By selecting which nation they’d like to play as, players will immediately have access to all that nation’s units in each match. There are no battalions and echelons, with the player calling in their forces based on a combination of their manpower resource and control points, combined with timers.
This third and final open Beta has been based on feedback from thousands of players who have already played, tested, and provided their thoughts on the previous two public tests. The developers will continue to work on polishing and balancing based on fresh player feedback from this Beta. Players’ progress and saves in this open beta test will not carry over to release.Join the test now by clicking “Request Access” on Men of War II Steam page.
