Celebrating 20 years of WWII Online!

Congratulations to the WWII Online community as we prepare to celebrate 20 glorious years of operations! The original release date for the game was on June 6th - 2001. Thanks to our paid subscribers for making this possible.

 

Join us for our first ever, "Virtual Convention," on Saturday June 5th and Sunday June 6th. We will have guest speakers (Retired Rats) sharing stories from the early days, videos showcasing the games progression, and a slough of important announcements relating to our future path. You do not want to miss this!

Click the link below to see the full briefing and sign up to the Zoom webinar(s).

Reasons to play WWII Online

Free 30 Day Trial & Continued Access

Free Trial Account (NO CARD required)
Receive access to the WWII Online trial which offers you 30 days of full game access.

After the 30 day trial, you will then have continued free game access with a limited combined arms playset so you can continue to participate in battles. At no time will this equipment be nerfed or capable of performing according to historical properties.

At any time you can subscribe to a paid subscription and unlock more weapons and vehicles.

WWII Online is designed a subscription-based game, it is not your typical free to play micro-transaction game.

Patch Release: 1.36.10 (Readme)

CRSHappy Patch Day! We're rolling out some important features and fixes from the recent version 1.36.9.0 that we had to fallback on. It will include the AMD user fix (50% faster or more game load times), the Panzerjäger1, and several more items. As we announced before, we've gone through a more rigorous testing cycle, made some structural changes within our QA team to boost performance, and we will continue to provide consolidated release cycles to re-introduce all other items (and potentially more) going forward. Thanks for your support everyone!
