Making History II – The War of the World will drop to PCs worldwide on May 25, 2010 for $39.99 USD at select retailers. Everyone who pre-orders the game on Impulse also gets to participate in the Beta starting in April!

More than a grand strategy game, MHII brings new and exciting ways to play with friends across the web with leaderboards, multiplayer matchmaking, persistent hosted games, group management support, chat rooms and personal user pages.

MHII gives WWII grand strategy gamers the opportunity to lead a nation and remake history. MHII reflects the reality that economics win wars as much as combat, so players can customize the development of specific cities, regions and units to support their objectives. Along the way they will face rival political factions both domestic and international, diplomatic choices that affect their nation’s status and reputation, and a reactive artificial intelligence that alters its strategy based on player actions.

The game is also available on Gamersgate: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-MH2/making-history-ii-the-war-of-the-world

GDN has been told that you can also get into the beta when you pre-order at Gamersgate so have at it!
