The long-awaited Offline Mode is finally available for Men of War II fans – alongside a host of new content and gameplay fixes
Prague, Czech Republic – October 28, 2024 – Fall in, Soldiers! Fulqrum Publishing and Ukrainian studio Best Way are delighted to announce that the latest update to their popular real-time strategy game Men of War II, the Steel Rain update, is finally available for all players!
This update includes a host of new units, new gameplay mechanics and general improvements – but perhaps most excitingly, the long-awaited Offline Mode is finally here, allowing players to experience Men of War II without an internet connection.
Men of War II | Steel Rain Update Trailer
Thanks to the Steel Rain update, there’s more to enjoy in Men of War II than ever before! Here’s just a quick taster of the new features to join the game today…
Offline Mode
Men of War II’s Offline Mode is the flagship feature of this update and has been heavily requested by the game’s community since its launch. Players can now switch between playing the game online (default setting) and offline, and of course, if they start the game without an Internet connection, it will run in offline mode automatically. Just move the cursor to the cog wheel “Settings” icon in the upper-left corner, where players will find an indicator telling them which version they are playing at the moment – green for online, red for offline.
The Offline Mode features any single-player mission or campaign (including Conquest and Raid), and players can set up a “multiplayer” lobby to play custom matches with AI bots. Currently, progress made in a campaign while playing offline cannot carry over to the online mode (and vice versa). Players have voted in a community poll to release the update in this state, while the developers continue to work on enabling the progress to be shared.
New Content and Gameplay Mechanics
But that’s not all! A whole host of new content has been added to the game – including 8 new units, all focused on rockets and missile launchers. To make the best use of the new units, each nation has received a new battalion: the 3rd Mortar Regiment. These have zero logistic timers for mortars and Rocket artillery, and -50% Battle rank Modifier for Mortar units, and -25% for Rocket Artillery units.
Another addition to Men of War II is the ability to control the game’s speed in a single-player. This feature is available in any game where the player is alone. Including in Conquest, Raids, and even a custom lobby with bots.
There has also been the addition of a “turbo mode” in single-player games, in which the game world will be calculated as quickly as the computer’s performance allows, significantly improving the quality of simulation, especially on powerful PCs.
And, of course, that still isn’t all – with this update bringing a range of multiplayer and match-making improvements, visual and audio improvements, and more! For the full list of updates, check out the game’s news hub on Steam.
Men of War II, the new chapter in the evolution of the top-rated RTS franchise, brings you an unprecedented number of units with different specializations to command, unyielding attention to historical fidelity, new levels of visual and audio excellence, as well as advanced enemy AI. Lead your troops in intense real-time battles on the Western and Eastern Fronts and overwhelm your opponents in epic narrative single-player campaigns and skirmish modes before diving deep into the multiplayer action.
Men of War II is available to purchase via Steam and the Epic Games Store – at the special price of 25% off starting 10AM PT/5PM GMT/6PM CET October 28th

Next game from HYPERCHARGE: UNBOXED devs Digital Cybercherries hits just in time for Halloween
Manchester, UK – October 28th, 2024 – Digital Cybercherries are pleased to announce that DON’T SCREAM is exiting early access today for its full 1.0 release. This new game from the studio that brought you the colourful action-figure title HYPERCHARGE: UNBOXED takes a sharp tonal turn to deliver a ‘90s found footage-inspired horror game where you explore a mysterious forest for a terrifying 18-minutes (unless you’re too scared to move). The twist is that if you scream, you have to restart.
DON’T SCREAM launched in Early Access in October 2023, quickly becoming a breakout hit. In just its first week, the game sold over 100,000 units, driven in part by its meteoric rise as a streaming sensation.
Time only progresses as you move in DON’T SCREAM and you can’t predict the scares. You must calibrate your microphone in-game so that every whimper, jump, or even a minor squeak is registered as a scream, increasing the challenge. With dozens of dynamic scares, each playthrough offers a unique experience.
The 1.0 release of DON’T SCREAM on October 28th comes with a whole host of improvements, including:
Improved performance for smoother gameplay
Enhanced scares with better models, animations, effects, and sounds
Improved pacing of scares, with a greater focus on tension and buildup
Tons of new places to explore in the forest and existing areas look much better
Completely redesigned sound for a more immersive experience
Hugely improved microphone calibration
Some enemies can now kill the player
New environmental dangers
Steam achievements and relics to find to incentivise replayability
New battery mechanic to make things more challenging
Completely overhauled user interface that’s easier to use
Progress page where players can track their progress
Improved environmental storytelling
Game now has much more replayability
These are just the highlights that you can expect when the game hits ahead of Halloween! Those who have already tried the game in Early Access even more changes, with essentially every single aspect of the game enjoying improvements for the 1.0 release.
“The time DON’T SCREAM has spent in Early Access has really helped us define what makes this game tick and that’s all been channeled into a host of massive improvements that we are unleashing today with the 1.0 release,” said Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay and Marketing Director at Digital Cybercherries. “Thanks to everyone for your support and feedback in helping us make the best version of the game yet.”
