Attack at Dawn: Stalingrad Announced!

We have been working on a new addition to our Attack at Dawn series of games for a while now. What we initially thought would be a DLC update evolved into a concept for a full-blown game. We thought about it for months, making experiments and prototypes, and finally decided to make a brand new game and move to the EASTERN FRONT!

We are designing a game about the southern section of the WW2 Eastern Front. We are still deciding on the scope of operations, but we will probably have scenarios for Barbarossa, Case Blue, Uranus, Donets & Kursk operations.



The new game will be all we have planned for General Staff DLC and more. Here is a list of some of the features of the game:

  • the entirely new game engine, with entire 3D terrain and units

  • complete UI rework, making it easier to use and understand

  • dynamic campaign

  • general staff functions: logistics, intelligence, operations, engineers, personnel

  • beautiful illustrations throughout the game

  • improved animations, and more of them

  • improved sounds, and more of them

  • full soundtrack


As you can see, it's quite an ambitious project and will take longer than we thought. But it will be worth it and turn this series into something fantastic!


In addition to this, we started a joint venture with Seleya Games to create a comic-book-styled board game about espionage, warfare, and nuclear exchange in Europe. We love to work on board game and video game projects in parallel, as it makes us more on the "designing edge". Check out our other project "Escalation: Nuclear War in Europe": https://www.panzerdivisiongames.com/escalation-nuclear-war-in-europe


If you wish to follow updates on all our projects more closely, please subscribe to the newsletter on our game page: https://www.panzerdivisiongames.com/attack-at-dawn-stalingrad


We issue it on a monthly basis, and it is the best way for you to follow and support our work during these long periods of development.


That's it for now. Have fun playing the game, and see you on the desert sand!

This looks very nice! A question though: will the General Staff DLC still happen? I imagine that most of this stuff would be too complex to add to North Afrika, but the general staff functions maybe could still be added?

Cheers von bearenstein! We will not be developing a DLC for North Africa, but a full new game instead. The amount of work is so big, that it is not a fit for a DLC. DLC updates are usually used to add scenarios, or certain functionalities in the existing system, and they represent only a small fraction of work compared to the developement of the full game. We want to add all these functionalities at one single go, and for it to be viable it has to be created on an entirely new game engine. That's why a new game is planned, together with all the additional features planned (new 3D engine, UI, sound and music upgrades, etc.)
