War Mongrels’ Limited Edition Pre-Orders Open, New Gameplay Footage Debuts Today

Only 1,944 Units of Limited Edition in Production for WWII Real-Time Tactics Game 

Gliwice, Poland — June 22, 2021 — War Mongrels, the grisly WWII real-time tactics game from publisher and developer Destructive Creations, launches pre-orders for a limited edition to be delivered in September, alongside its digital release on PC. PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One versions will follow. Thirteen minutes of new gameplay released today show a taste of the tough conversations War Mongrels hopes to inspire.

Destructive Creations plans to only produce 1,944 copies of the limited editions, and pre-orders open today at 1944.warmongrels.com. Prepare for hard-hitting WWII authenticity with an elaborate limited edition full of high-quality extras:

• Huge, heavy ammo crate containing everything else
• Personalized mug (choose a nickname or motto) with a coaster resembling barbed wire.
• Concrete desk organizer built to look like a wrecked tank with a dedicated space for mobile phones and stationary like pens
• Metal poster featuring War Mongrels’ vintage-inspired key art
• Destructive Creations magnet crafted in the image of an atomic mushroom explosion
• Dog tag imitating authentic German dog tags from WWII
• War Mongrels T-Shirt
• And of course, a game key! But expect a surprising, era-appropriate format…

The new gameplay video highlights a later section, some time after protagonist Manfred witnesses the horrific results of Hitler’s regime firsthand and abandons his post. Now a freedom fighter, he’s joined by Lead, a member of the “Silent Unseen,” a group of elite special-operations paratroopers of the exiled Polish army. Destructive Creations weaves inspiration from real-life characters and stories into the game, including Manfred himself. His story is loosely based on that of Manfred Zanker, who refused to “risk his life for a madman with a mustache“.

The pair infiltrate an SS internment camp to procure damning evidence of German War Crimes and rescue a member of the resistance. While skulking through the shadows, Lead and Manfred whisper in argument about Manfred’s ignorance. Lead dismantles Manfred’s desperate clings to Hitler’s propaganda, including the supposed execution of 50,000 Germans by the Polish. Listen in as Manfred tries to justify his past, until Lead and other teammates help open his eyes.

The two use every tool at their disposal: cigarette packs to distract guards, stealthy melee kills, and sniper rifles for loud but effective kills. War Mongrels displays information with an intuitive system designed to make stealth fast-paced and strategic. Vision cones and line-of-sight indicators provide a window into the Nazi’s tactics. Carefully consider routes and actions, then pause time with Planning Mode to queue up commands and then execute them all at once.

“While War Mongrels hopes to expose how terrible people have used history to paint themselves in a better light, we wanted to have some fun with the limited edition,” said Marcin Stanek, Business Development Manager at Destructive Creations. “We’ve enjoyed coming up with such premium packages, and we know our fans will love them.”

War Mongrels will be available on PC in September in both digital and limited edition formats. Players can pre-order the limited edition now for $249 USD / 199 EUR (worldwide shipping included). PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One versions will follow. War Mongrels will support English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and Chinese (Simplified + Traditional) language subtitles at launch with an English voiceover. For more information, please visit the official War Mongrels website and follow Destructive Creations on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

Tripwire Interactive Declares Lift-Off with 2021’s Summer Update, Full of Free Content including New Map, Weapons, Cosmetics and more

ROSWELL, Ga. – 22nd June 2021 – Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive is proud to announce that esteemed first-person shooter and co-op action title, Killing Floor 2 is going… to the Moon! Killing Floor 2: Interstellar Insanity, this year’s free summer update, blasts off with a new map, unique rewards, new bundles, astronaut cosmetics, and more. Players can take one giant leap into Killing Floor 2: Interstellar Insanity today on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, and PC via Steam or the Epic Games Store. 

Killing Floor 2: Interstellar Insanity will mark the end of the Lockhart map trilogy with new survival map, Moonbase. Reached via the steam-powered rocket that lifted off at the end of the Steam Fortress map, Moonbase is set on a secret Horzine research outpost on the Moon. Killing Floor 2 players will battle on Moonbase in survival, weekly, and endless game modes, earning unique seasonal rewards along the way. Since the setting is Earth’s natural satellite haunted by zeds, Moonbase has low gravity, adding a little float to the fight.

Landing with Killing Floor 2: Interstellar Insanity are several new tools for massacre on the Moon. SWAT users can equip the HRG Bastion, a LMG with an energy shield for bullet spray in space, and Support users can let their fists do the talking with the HRG Blast Brawlers, a gauntlet-style weapon. These HRG weapons are free for all players. This update also brings DLC and bundles which include the FAMAS Masterkey for the Commando and Support perks as well as the Thermite Bore for the Firebug perk. 

The lunar lunacy continues with out of this world astronaut-style cosmetics, returning Summer Sideshow zeds, two new game modes (scavenger and arachnophobia) added to the weekly rotation, and more.

To celebrate the release of the update and the season, Tripwire Interactive will be participating in several hot summer sales across all platforms! Be sure to follow Tripwire Interactive’s social channels for information on special sales discounts coming soon.

In Killing Floor 2, players descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech’s failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the European Union— Just one month after the events in the original KILLING FLOOR, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray; communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into hiding.

Not all have given up hope though… A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them.

Killing Floor 2 is developed and published by Tripwire Interactive and is published at retail by Deep Silver and Iceberg Interactive for the Xbox One, Xbox One X, PlayStation®4 Pro, PlayStation®4, and PC. This title has been rated M by the ESRB, PEGI 18, USK 18.
