WWII Online is the first ever massively multiplayer FPS simulation game that immerses players in the Western Front of WWII. Hosted on a massive single game server, there are virtually no limits to the number of players who can join the battlefield and fight as infantry, tanker, pilot, or captain.

BEWARE: WWII Online is a simulator classified as a serious game with a mature community. It requires players to collaborate and engage with others to create action and achieve objectives. Solo play is nearly impossible, and players are encouraged to spend at least 10 hours practicing, partnering with experienced players or joining an active squad. Mastering vehicle combat requires additional practice. Ideally, game sessions should last more than 1 hour as player-led operations require time and patience. Assistance can be sought through in-game chat and our Discord community.

UNMATCHED IN SCALE, REALISM, AND REPLAYABILITY SINCE 2001

Experience a strategic and persistent Campaign driven entirely by players, encompassing strategic planning and battles to control territories. With over 240 weapons and vehicles, technological advancements from 1939 to 1944 allow players to pilot Spitfires, drive Tigers or Sherman Fireflies, operate Flak36 88mm cannons, and sail destroyers.

ALL-OUT WAR ON A MASSIVE SCALE

Immerse yourself in a vast, interconnected, and zone-less game world spanning 300,000 square kilometers. Engage in immersive combined arms PvP combat with seamless communication between Army, Air Force, and Naval units. The outcome of battles is shaped by the collaboration of players. There are no limitations on the number of players who can participate in a single battlespace.

SERIOUS HISTORICAL ACCURACY

Experience true authenticity with weapons, vehicles, munitions, and ordnance that perform according to realistic values. Achieved through access to historical archives and the expertise of military professionals, our advanced proprietary game engine offers unparalleled depth. From tank and aircraft armor to internal components, every detail is meticulously modeled down to the millimeter.

HIGHLY DETAILED DAMAGE MODELS

Our damage models provide extreme detail, allowing for the destruction of individual components in vehicles, including crew, weapon storage, and gas tanks. This is not a mere hitbox system. Every shot fired triggers multiple calculations that determine the consequences of the round impact, such as angle of obliquity, round speed, armor thickness, internal spall, armor penetration, and damaged tank parts. A well-placed shot can instantly eliminate or disable your enemy.

FAIR GAMEPLAY FOR ALL

Victory in engagements is determined by strategy, tactics, teamwork, and weapon handling skills, just like in real life. WWII Online ensures a level playing field without special power-ups or advantages gained through item purchases, fostering a balanced and competitive environment.

SQUAD-DRIVEN GAME

WWII Online requires time investment and emphasizes teamwork. To make the most of your gameplay experience, it is highly recommended to join a squad and utilize voice communications. Each time you log in, you will receive a pop-up window showing currently available squad recruiters. For optimal coordination, join the . Integrated voice comms are currently in development.

CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT WITH FREE UPDATES

Since 2001, thousands of man-hours have been invested in continuous development. Every 3-4 months, a new update (patch) with fresh content is released. Check out the current development roadmap on Trello for more details.
