Hello Commanders!

Thank you all for your great support since the release of Sudden Strike 4!

• Script issue fixed on SU05 – HARKOW that lead to mission being incompleteable under certain circumstances
  
• Fixed an exception when entering into a civilian vehicle on GE02 – SEDAN
  
• Fixed suspension and sinking for Zis-5 AA
  
• AL07 Plunder historical footage voiceover fix
  
• AL07 Operation Plunder localisation fix in background text
  
• Fixed missing localisation of a skill desctiption

Moreover, we have updated the Sudden Strike 4 Beta with a new build (version number 19381). It contains (in addition to the above fixes) the following new features and updates:

• Lan Support fixed
  
• Host migration improvements
  
• Ingame/multiplayer lobby team and all chat (use TAB to switch between all and team chat

We have also decided to add the Sudden Strike 4 beta product to all customer accounts.

If you would like to help us test future new features, especially for multiplayer, download and play that product and report any issues via the F11 key from within the game.

We will continue to deliver new features and more content for skirmish and multiplayer and fix bugs for all areas of the game. Please stay tuned for further updates and thank you for your patience!

Sudden Strike 4 is now just one week away from release, with the highly anticipated new strategy title due to release on Windows PC, Mac, Linux and PlayStation®4 next Friday, 11th August.
To prepare gamers everywhere for the final push to launch day, Kalypso Media is releasing a new trio of videos in the official ‘General’s Handbook’ series, each focusing on one of the different factions – the German, Allied and Soviet forces. Each video is packed with exciting details, such as a close-up examination of the various units each faction will command, as well as strategic tips straight from the source and an inside look at the missions that await.

The first video is available now below, focusing on the German campaign. The other videos on the Allied and Soviet campaigns will follow during launch week on our social media and community channels.

Sudden Strike 4 will launch on 11th August as a Day One Edition for Windows PC, including the 'Battle of Kursk' DLC, a digital artbook and a digital soundtrack. These bonuses are also available digitally via Steam for Windows PC, Linux and Mac.
Additionally, there is currently a 15% pre-order discount available on Steam that includes immediate access to both the beta test version of Sudden Strike 4 and the original Sudden Strike Trilogy. Steam customers can also download the free Sudden Strike Quiz app on iOS and Android devices to unlock further stackable pre-order discounts for a potential total of up to 25% off.


About Sudden Strike 4
Developed as a fully-fledged series entry and not a remake or reboot, Sudden Strike 4 sends you off on three extensive campaigns set amongst the battlefields of World War II. Commanding the British and American, German or Soviet armies, you will lead over 100 different units into battle, including the German Heinkel He111 bomber, the Russian T-34 tank, the British Hawker Typhoon fighter plane and even the notorious German Panzerkampfwagen VI “Tiger”.

In a first for the Sudden Strike series, you can now choose from one of nine individual commanders, such as George Patton or Bernard Montgomery, whose unique military doctrines unlock valuable command and combat abilities for your troops.

Prove your tactical expertise in over 20 demanding single player scenarios, the challenge-focused skirmish mode, and the competitive multiplayer mode. A new reward system awards the player for clever play with skill points and bonus unlockable content.

Sudden Strike 4 offers countless ways to vanquish your opponents. Exploit the weak spots of tanks, set up an ambush, occupy buildings with infantry and snipers, out manoeuvre the enemy with clever positioning or unleash devastating air support – how you approach each mission is up to you!

Sudden Strike 4 is scheduled for a worldwide release on Steam on 11th August 2017,
as well as via retail in UK and European export territories.
The North American retail release will then follow on Tuesday, 15th August.
