Square Enix Issues Order of War
by Alice O'Connor, Apr 16, 2009 12:55pm PDTSquare Enix continues its foray into publishing Western games with the announcement that it will publish Order of War, a new World War 2 real-time strategy game for PC.
Players will take command of up to 1,000 troops, tanks, artillery and aircraft in vast battles based upon key historic events and operations from 1944 on both fronts--as Americans versus Germans on the West, and Germans against Russians on the East.
Square Enix seems to have taken a shine to Western RTSs, as it announced last year it would be publishing Gas Powered Games' upcoming Supreme Commander 2.
Developed by Wargaming.net--handily also its website--Order of War is due this fall.

It's pathetic to me that such a powerful studio will avoid taking a bold initiative just so they can catch up with mediocrity instead. Hopefully their rifles will be twice the size as the characters and the dialogue will devolve into high school drama in the heat of combat.
