GVK: What is the background and setting for the game?

MJ: World in Conflict: Soviet Assault takes place in the late 1980s and depicts a “what if” scenario where the Soviet Union invades Europe and the United States. In the game, NATO and USA join forces to fight the Soviet army in a series of battles that range from the American farmlands and metropolises to small Norwegian fishing villages.

GVK: What are some of the new unit types players will use and are there mega weapons?

MJ: We decided against including new units, as it would create a split in our multiplayer community between the players who buy World in Conflict: Soviet Assault and those who don’t. As for mega weapons, we’re still keeping the Tactical Aid weapons (like carpet bombs, napalm strikes and tactical nukes). It just wouldn’t be World in Conflict without them!

GVK: What changes in gameplay and strategy are different from the original?

MJ: We didn’t want to include new gameplay just for the sake of it, so our ambition has been to maintain and perfect the gameplay of the original World in Conflict. We’ve put a lot of work into designing the new missions and maps, and hopefully you can tell that we’re improving on our work on the original World in Conflict release.

Last night a brand new trailer with footage from a coming map in World in Conflict: Soviet Assault was released!

This is the fourth Soviet Assult trailer Massive Entertainment has released but this is the first acutal ingame movie from World in Conflict: Soviet Assault where you can see the first wave of the Soviet invasion. The beautiful scenery is from a new map called Norway.
