Bandai Namco Releasing Strategy Title Battleline: Steel Warfare in November

Bandai Namco announced today an upcoming strategy game for PC gamers in Battleline: Steel Warfare. A closed beta for the game will begin in November, and the title will feature strategic warfare with tanks and a virtual and literal Battleline that will progress along with the winners of battles, as players overcome their opponents online. An announcement trailer for the game can be seen below. Read on.



“Battleline: Steel Warfare offers a unique and compelling mix of in-tank battles and broader meta-strategy gameplay,” says In Joon Hwang, Director of Digital Games for Bandai Namco Games America. “The broad spectrum of abilities, customizations, and strategies within the game all come together to give players a multitude of choices not found in other free-to-play games.”

With the sheer variety of tanks from the modern era all the way back to WWI, tank maniacs can finally figure out how many T34s it would take to bring down an M1A1. Or match up Western vs. Soviet forces in the ultimate tank showdown. The possibilities are endless!

Players can customize their tanks by leveling up each tank’s attributes and equipping different shells or gear for various effects. Building and capturing bases within conquered territory will also greatly affect the battle, offering gameplay bonuses to allies. Commanders can also equip various consumable items to be used in the heat of battle.

Battleline: Steel Warfare is an original creation from long-time free-to-play game developer Creant Studios, who are excited to be releasing it as their first title for a western audience. “Our team has devoted countless hours and effort to the development of Battleline: Steel Warfare,” says Dongwook Kim, CEO of Creant Studios, “We look forward to watching players advance the power of their guilds as well as the lines of battle when the game officially launches later this year in the West.”

Battleine: Steel Warfare is a continuation of Bandai Namco Games’ effort to grow its presence in the free-to-play space. Battleline: Steel Warfare represents an investment in new intellectual properties that advance current gameplay standards, bringing pioneering experiences to its players. The game will be made available on PC later this year.
