addedMaking History: The Second World Waris scheduled to officially release on April 27 2018. An almost complete Pre-Release Final version of the game is now live on Steam. With the exception of Achievements and Music, this update contains all the system, AI and content for the official final release. The work for this update was focused on content and game balancing. We’ve added 98 achievements to the game but they will remain off until the final release goes live. Please note, Early Access saved games will not work with achievements. The music soundtrack will be revised in the official release version. After the game is officially released, we expect there will be a need for improvements and bug fixes. Factus Games will be supporting this game with new updates. A sincere thank you to the Second World War Early Access Community. The bug reports and feedback were vital to the process.
