As a veteran gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that the gaming landscape is more vibrant and exciting than ever before. The upcoming release of Sea Power: Naval Combat In The Missile Age has me positively giddy! I’ve always been a sucker for strategy games, especially those set during the Cold War era, so this one hits all the right notes for me. I can only hope that the gameplay lives up to the impressive visuals it promises.


Sea Power: Naval Combat In The Missile Age is almost here, Frostpunk 2 has arrived, and plenty of other titles are on the horizon. Check out this week’s news update with the latest game releases, patches and updates, as well as general news.

Strategy Games Release Dates

Sea Power: Naval Combat In The Missile Age Release Date

Among the games I’m eagerly anticipating is “Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age,” developed by the creative mind behind the acclaimed game, Cold Waters. This strategic masterpiece is set to be released in November. In “Sea Power,” you’ll assume command over NATO and Warsaw Pact naval and aerial weaponry, engaging in intense battles on the open seas.

In this game, you’ll find over 150 naval vessels and more than 60 aircraft dating back to the Cold War period that will be deployed across the North Atlantic, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the Mediterranean. The game boasts intricate flight and ship physics, detailed weapon modeling with over 130 different weapon systems, and a variety of 50 distinct ground objects. I’m quite impressed with its visuals so far. Let’s hope that the gameplay matches up to these impressive visuals.

The game’s coming out in November 2024. No day has been announced.

FrostPunk 2 Out Now

Six years have passed since the initial release of Frostpunk, and I was under the impression it came out in 2021. The “bring your kids to work” style video game now boasts a more ambitious sequel: Frostpunk 2. This follow-up expands upon the original by allowing you to assume the role of Steward, responsible for managing entire city districts all at once.

In a continuous winter landscape, similar difficulties arise with human behavior. On one side, it’s crucial that you ensure everyone stays warm and well-fed. Once these fundamental requirements are met, people may start finding other reasons to be unhappy, leading to contentious groups. As an Overseer, your responsibility is to regulate their expectations, requests, and needs to maintain everyone’s survival and prevent societal chaos from arising.

After experiencing Scourge of War – Remastered, I must say that the difference in performance is like night and day. The game runs smoothly without compromising its core gameplay, and there are numerous user interface enhancements. Having given my approval, Norb Soft has launched Scourge of War: Waterloo Ligny, the second expansion of the original game’s three (the others being Quatre Bras and Wavre).

The game Ligny offers five different battle scenarios featuring Napoleon’s forces attacking Prussian troops led by Field Marshal Blucher. The price varies based on your region, at around 9 dollars, 8 pounds, or 9 euros. If you enjoy Napoleonic warfare, Scourge of War is currently the top choice for you.
