Tripwire Interactive and Antimatter Games are issuing a new update for 2011's Red Orchestra 2 multiplayer. To celebrate this occasion, the game (as well as Rising Storm) will be free to play on Steam until Monday.
Tripwire Interactive is feeling generous today, offering Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad for free on Steam for today only.
Rising Storm has a new Game of the Year Edition, compiling the game's previous updates and adding a slew of new content.
Tripwire had said it would launch the Rising Storm standalone expansion for Red Orchestra 2 in May and while it cut things close, by gum it's just made it. The dev announced yesterday that it'll be out on Thursday, so do hurry if you want to pre-order and grab the discount and bonus Killing Floor characters.
Rising Storm may be coming a mite later than its original release window of 2011, but a new trailer out of GDC shows the time hasn't been wasted. The Red Orchestra 2 expansion-turned-standalone is set in World War 2's Pacific theatre, and the trailer travels from Guadalcanal to Saipan via Hanto River and Iwo Jima. With flamethrowers.
Red Orchestra 2 is getting a free "Game of the Year Edition" content pack, which will update all current owners' games as well. Plus, it's offering a free Steam weekend to ring in the new additions.
Tripwire released the Red Orchestra 2 mod SDK to all and sundry today. If you've been longing to tart up the WW2 sim-shooter with regenerating health, helicopter gunships, and akimbo machine pistols, go right ahead, you monster.
Tripwire's WW2 shooter-sim sequel has been delayed by two weeks "to get it right and add the extra polish the game (and the players) deserve."
Pre-orders have opened for the WW2 shooter sim, including on a special Steam Digital Deluxe Edition with bonuses for Team Fortress 2 and Killing Floor.
