Gary Grigsby’s War in the East is now available on Steam and Twitch! Also 1.08.04 update released.

[Daniele]

A wreck of a T- 34 is burning just outside the village. The crew was taken by surprise by the German armoured vanguard. Only few months have passed since the beginning of the invasion of the Motherland and nothing seems able to stand against the powerful advancing panzerdivisionen.

Nevertheless the Germans have underestimated the iron will of Ivan and soon they begin to face more and more resistance. No bunker can be taken until the last defender is dead, every forest can hide an insidious trap, and the Russian steppes seem to be endless.

This will be a long and cruel war...

“Here they found real war, but they were not ready for it. They were used to easy victories.” (Georgy Zhukov - Soviet military commander)

Originally released in 2010, Gary Grigsby’s War in the East, the most detailed computer wargame ever created about the Eastern Front of World War 2, has benefited from five years of ongoing and regular support since release, with many major updates following one after the other, including the v1.08.04 update just released today. Along with the release of several very ambitious updates which have expanded gameplay and increased realism and historical depth, there have also been two expansions. Today, War in the East – one of the 50 Best Strategy Games Ever Made according to Rock Paper Shotgun – is starting a new grand campaign with its official release on Steam. Its two expansions Don to the Danube and Lost Battles are also available on the digital platform now as part of the combined package.

With this new release players have a new chance to dive into this conflict thanks to the accessible gameplay, the perfectly represented chain of command and order of battle and engage the enemy in massive, dramatic campaigns, including intense battles involving thousands of units with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East is a truly epic representation of the scope and sweep of the Second World War on the Eastern Front and is unparalleled in its scale, detail, and ambition!

In order to celebrate this important milestone, we are discounting the game and the Deluxe Edition (base game + expansions) during the week of the launch:

• Base game $79.99, with launch discount of 30% moving it to $55.99
• Package price $89.99 with launch discount of 30% moving it to $62.99

Grab the game here!

Watch the Stream of the game today at 20:00 CEST / 18:00 UTC / 2:00 PM EDT on our official Twitch Channel!

We are also going to offer a free Steam key to anyone who bought a copy from the Matrix Games or Slitherine store, once the game is available on this digital platform!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I would really like a DRM free version and a Steam version but I've just noticed the Deluxe Package deal on Steam. With the extra expansions that's a steal.

It's a shame there isn't a similar offer here on the Matrix site.

Jesus didn't see this coming[&o][&o][&o]

No deluxe package at matrix?

[Joel Billings]

I just looked, and in the store when you go to buy the WitE game, the expansions are offered at the lower price so it adds up to the same as the deluxe bundle if you buy them all at once.

[KenchiSulla]

Hi team,

How can I get the steamkey now? I bought WitE in 2010...

Fodder

[TargAK]

Good news and a steam key to boot!

[zakblood]

great twitch feed and play done by Erik, another long and epic one mind you but done very very well

[Erik Rutins]

Indeed the Deluxe Package is available through our store as well, but you have to add the base game to your shopping cart to see the discount offer for the expansions.

[IslandInland]

Thanks, Joel and Erik. The Deluxe package is available through the Matrix store and is slightly cheaper than Steam. [:)]

I assume I will receive Steam keys for the expansions also?

and zoomed in for counter shot for none players like myself, mentioned it on the feed

[Peltonx]

What is a steam key?

[Erik Rutins]

Yes, you can get a Steam key for both the base game and the expansions. Anything we release on Steam, customers who purchase (or have purchased) the same product direct from us also get a free Steam key. Pelton, it allows you to activate the game on Steam (a digital game distribution platform/online store) for those that like to have their games there.

Thanks for the help. I bought the Deluxe Package from Matrix and got my Steam keys from the Slitherine site.

Great Deal. [:)]
