WW2-set RTS 3rd-person shooter Victory Banner revealed

In development at Peresvet and published by HeroCraft, Victory Banner meshes together real-time strategy and third-person shooter elements into one tightly-knit package.

Shared by IGN, this game looks to have promise, but there is already rumblings of concern, particularly that this game shares a lot of similarities to Call to Arms – Gates of Hell. Moreover to add to this, this is Peresvet’s first game and all games published by HeroCraft are largely lower-budget RTS or cozy games, making Victory Banner definitely stand out.

In it you’ll take control of different classed soldiers, with each having a name like in XCOM. On top of that, you can swap between controlling squads to an individual soldier, in which you can loot the corpses of those who have fallen. There are two single player modes promised for launch, one being the action-heavy Frontline and the other being the stealth-focused Stealth Mode.

There is currently no release date for Victory Banner, but we know it’s arriving on PC.
