New War Story: The Last Tiger
- The latest War Story puts fans in the driver seat of one of the most fearsome tanks of World War 2, the Tiger I, as a German commander leading his troops as the Twelfth US Army Group presses against the German border. Similar to all the War Stories in the game, this is showing the untold and unexpected sides of the war. Think of The Last Tiger as Das Boot meets Black Hawk Down and you’ll have a sense for the tone and action DICE is pursuing with this War Story.
New Map: Panzerstorm
- This brand new map is a tank-focused arena where players will roll across ridges, ditches, and elevated roads with a massive force of armour, carving a path of destruction through the countryside. The map takes place where the German mechanised war machine plunges into Belgium, smashing into Allied defensive forces.
Practice Range
- In Overture, DICE will introduce the long-awaited Practice Range where players will be able to explore various weapons and vehicles, including the base weapons for each class and bombing runs in their favourite planes.
More Exciting Updates
- Overture will also bring new vehicle customisations and cosmetics to the game, along with a variety of updates and fixes based on the community’s feedback. All of the bug fixes can be found in the detailed report and blog found here.
