War Gameplay Video at

Shortly after the recent launch of
the official Codename Panzers: Cold War™ website the first gameplay video from
the upcoming real-time strategy highlight has been made available at
www.panzers-coldwar.com
Against a background of music from the 50’s the video shows the physically
determined destruction of buildings and demonstrates the new Gepard3 engine’s
performance. In the newest episode of the “Codename Panzers” series buildings
collapse realistically based on the angle of attack, and each collapse is unique
and individual. Electronic Arts is handling the European sales and distribution
for the newest episode of the “Codename Panzers” series, with the PC version due
for release in the first quarter of 2008. A first playable version will be
presented together with EA at the Games Convention.

During the Cold War conflict, a
period in which the differences of opinion between the occupying forces of the
Allies and the Soviet Union become ever sharper, an aircraft accident occurs
over Tempelhof Airport during the Berlin Blockade resulting in grave
consequences. The tragic collision of an American airplane carrying relief goods
with a Russian fighter plane costs not only the lives of both crews, but also
overstretches the already tense relations between the occupying forces. Under
the command of the merciless Stalin, the Red Army has undergone a tremendous
expansion at the end of the Second World War and has more-or-less been waiting
for the right time to extend their territory to the West by attacking the NATO
forces. This incident thus gives Stalin all the incentive that he requires!
