World War II Online free trial to begin

Strategy First and Cornered Rat Software have announced the upcoming release of patch version 1.2.5 for their online action game, World War II Online: Blitzkrieg. The companies also announced that the official 30-day free trial will begin when the new patch is released. The free trial period had been extended indefinitely when the game was released due to a number of bugs and server problems that made it difficult for many players to play the game as it was intended.

The new patch adds new role-playing game elements and the first naval vehicles to the game. Players will begin the game with the rank of private, and they will be able to advance through 13 levels of rank up to general. In addition to the new ranks and vehicles, the patch will add new towns and villages, AI-controlled antiaircraft installations, and a higher number of enterable buildings.

Developer Cornered Rat expects the 30-day free trial to begin this week, with paid subscriptions beginning the week of October 7. For more information, read our full review of the game and visit the official World War II Online Web site.
