The Troop gets a revised release date
PLA Studios and Giant Flame are gearing up for the full launch of their turn-based tactical game, The Troop. The game, rooted in World War II history, follows the British and Canadian forces as they confront the German Heer and SS in Normandy during the monumental events of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. Initially slated for release on October 11, the developers have decided to delay the launch by a week, with the official release now scheduled for October 18.
The Troop encapsulates a profound passion for World War II history and turn-based gaming. Players are transported to the battlefields of Normandy, where they can take command of infantry, motorized units, and armored divisions in intense, tactical turn-based combat against an AI opponent renowned for its challenge and unpredictability, yet fair and fallible in its strategies. The game pays homage to classic tabletop war gaming traditions while embracing the dynamic interactivity and excitement that a digital platform offers. Players have absolute control over their units’ actions, ensuring that unexpected pathing, premature firing, or inexplicable retreats don’t mar the strategic gameplay. A notable aspect is the dedication of the game’s fanbase, whose influence has shaped The Troop. In recognition of their support, powerful in-game ace units have been named after the game’s most devoted supporters.
