Hello everyone,

We’re excited to share some news on Call to Arms: Panzer Elite & what you can expect with Early Access. Before diving in, we’d like to set the stage by explaining who we are, what Call to Arms: Panzer Elite is (and isn’t), and what you can expect going forward.

Who We Are

Digitalmindsoft is an independent studio whose roughly 25, mostly veteran developers share a great passion for tactical and immersive combat gameplay. Starting with Men of War (2009) and both Men of War: Assault Squad titles (2011 / 2014), we were finally able to establish our own IP with Call to Arms (2018).

Together with our brothers in arms at Barbed Wire Studios, we co-developed Call to Arms: Gates of Hell (2021), utilizing over 15 years of experience and continuous improvements in it. We are deeply grateful for our ongoing partnership, and while development on Gates of Hell progresses independently, there will be continued opportunities for collaboration and shared expertise as both projects move forward.

What Early Access Means

Early Access means the game is still in development and not yet in a finished state. Bugs and incomplete content will be present, but this is the perfect opportunity to help shape the game's future.

  • New features will be added, and existing features will be improved.

  • Content, including new tanks, missions, and maps, as well as game balance, will evolve throughout development.

  • Your feedback will directly influence the development path and priorities.

  • We want to work closely with the player base during Early Access to shape the game’s direction for years to come.

  • If you’re new to Early Access games, we recommend checking out streams and let’s play videos to get a feel for what to expect.

What Call to Arms: Panzer Elite Is

  • A first-person / third-person tank combat game set during the intense armored battles of World War II, focusing on historically accurate tanks and units used in the period.

  • Maps are inspired by real historical events and battlefields, aiming to recreate authentic environments and tactical challenges.

  • A “simcade” experience, balancing realism such as real penetration mechanics and historically accurate gameplay with quality of life options and a strong focus on fun to make it accessible.

  • Includes singleplayer, cooperative, and multiplayer modes, allowing you to command your tank platoon across varied scenarios.

  • Features destruction physics that can dynamically alter the battlefield, with destructible environments impacting strategy and gameplay.

  • Features the option to toggle less realistic features on or off to tailor the experience to your preference.

What Call to Arms: Panzer Elite Is Not

  • A fully realistic WWII tank simulator.

  • A real time strategy title.

  • A clone of other popular WW2 tank games, nor are we aiming to compete with them.

  • A pay to win game.

  • A purely pvp multiplayer focused game. (we offer coop and a singleplayer experience on top!)
