New MMOFPS/RTS from Reto-Moto, a studio consisting of former IO staffers.
Square Enix has officially announced that it’s backing Heroes & Generals by publishing the intriguing World War II MMOFPS worldwide.
Frankly we’d never heard of this debut endeavour from Reto-Moto before, a developer formed by a host of former IO staffers, but it sounds pretty enticing and the shots on the right look very striking. The free-to-play game is set to offer both FPS and RTS gameplay with players not only able to orchestrate battles from afar, like a general if you will, but also zoom down into the heads of the underlings, dubbed heroes, controlling vehicles, airplanes and artillery units.
That sounds like quite a delicate balance to us, and Reto-Moto seem very excited about the collaboration with Square Enix.
“A partnership with Square Enix is the best thing that could happen for Heroes & Generals and will help us reach a huge audience and ensure we can deliver more content, faster,” said Peter Fleckenstein, co-founder of Reto-Moto. “We’ll continue to run a community driven development, and the trinity of Square Enix, Reto-Moto, and our community will make Heroes & Generals an incredible game that many gamers will play for years to come”.
If this sounds like the kind of explosive action that you’d get a kick out of it might be worth registering for the Heroes & Generals’ Closed Beta which is accepting a bunch of new recruits next week or at the very least you should probably check out the trailer below. Who knows it might tickle your gun stick…
