Soldiers: Heroes of World War II News
Community Items and Achievements are Live Now!
Greetings, Commanders!
As a follow-up to the recent updates to Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, we are beyond excited to announce that we've now added Steam achievements to the game as well!
And since we know we have a lot of collectors among us, we're adding tons of Steam community items too. That means you're now able to earn Trading Cards, Profile Backgrounds, Badges and Emoticons! Some of these can be earned naturally by playing the game or traded with other Commanders, and some can be bought for Steam points on the Steam market. You can check examples below the article.
We also wanted to share a heartfelt message directly from the developers at Best Way, who have poured their passion into the new updates:
"Soldiers: Heroes of World War II has always held a special place in our hearts, and we know it does for many of you as well. For countless players, it serves as a cherished childhood memory, reminding us of the excitement of developing our very first game.
Over the past 20 years, the gaming landscape has undergone significant changes. Various online multiplayer services have shut down, Steam has risen to prominence as a key platform, and new operating systems have emerged. In light of this evolution and our fond memories of the dedicated community surrounding Soldiers, we felt a strong urge to revisit this beloved classic.
Best Way took the initiative to fund and develop the new updates as a token of our gratitude to all of you, our loyal players who have stood by us through thick and thin. We also wish to thank Fulqrum Publishing for helping us to release these updates on Steam.
These patches are a true labor of love for everyone at Best Way. Our heartfelt hope is that these improvements allow you to relive those cherished nostalgic moments while experiencing Soldiers: Heroes of World War II in a refreshed and enhanced way. Enjoy the journey!"
In case you want to try other Men of War games, be sure to check out the most recent addition to the franchise, Men of War II, and the Men of War: Classic Collection bundle that includes all the Men of War games and their DLCs. There is also an additional discount of the bundle that you can use simply to complete your set, you don't have to re-buy the games you already own!

Soldiers: Heroes of World War II | Open Beta of New Update is Live!
Greetings, Commanders!
Not long ago, we released the first patch for Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, which includes compatibility with Windows 10 and 11, fixes to the occasional memory leaks, and many more. However, we want you to be able to play the game as smoothly as possible, so we prepared another open beta update!
Why an Open Beta?
The new update is a small but important fix for Soldiers: Heroes of World War II. There are many new or changed features and content to experience, and even though we have tested it thoroughly, we would still like to get feedback from you, our fans, and Men of War series enthusiasts to see if we missed anything that needs to be fixed or improved before we roll it out for everyone. If you decide to help us and try it out, please let us know what you think about the update here in the comments or in Steam Discussions.
How to access the update beta?
It's very simple. Go to your Steam library and find Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, right-click on the title, select Properties => Betas, and in the drop-down menu labeled Beta Participation, select "patch_beta". Your game will update, and that's it. You can opt out of the beta at any point: just follow choose NONE in the beta selection menu.

20 years later, classic RTS game gets transformed by surprise Steam update
World War II and RTS games have always gone together perfectly. We've got Company of Heroes, Men of War, and Steel Division 2 to name a few. Back in 2004, however, we had Soldiers: Heroes of World War II. This epochal strategy game helped pioneer the modern RTS as we know it today, but in the last 20 years, it's gone largely unloved. Until now that is. Both Best Way and Fulqrum Publishing have just released a game-changing and modernizing update for Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, making the last two decades seem like nothing.
