Tripwire Interactive has released information on the sequel to Red Orchestra today. Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad, will be the sequel to the hit PC title Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45.

Heroes of Stalingrad will take the Red Orchestra franchise into the next generation of gaming. Cutting edge graphics and audio built on Unreal Engine 3, inventive features and streamlined realism will deliver an unrivalled WWII experience. Focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad and the surrounding operations, both German and Russian, from July 1942 to February 1943 the game allows the player to experience one of the most brutal battles in all of human history. For the first time ever in a first person shooter gamers will be able to experience WWII from the Axis side in a German single player campaign. As always with the Red Orchestra franchise, we will aim to deliver unrivalled accuracy and attention to detail, along with gritty, vicious combat in multi-player, co-op and solo modes. Again, we have listened to the fans and have designed a whole set of new features to make the game more accessible and easy to get into – all while delivering the tactical shooter realism fans of the original game loved.

The Heroes of Stalingrad forums are now open, head to www.HeroesofStalingrad.com for the teaser website and access to the forums. More information about the game will be released over the next weeks and months. Tripwire Interactive are taking the time to get the game right, so the release date will not be revealed until the game is ready.
