Panzer Corps 2: War Stories - Fall of Poland
Greetings once again to our awesome Panzer Corps 2 Community!
We have some extra special news to share with you today. Over the past several months, we’ve taken stock on the reception to the epic nine part Axis Operations series, and we are continually humbled and appreciative of the thousands of Panzer Corps 2 players who have embarked on so many campaigns in our game.
But I could interrupt very quickly with an amusing story; there was a very strange coincidence that happened while we were preparing to roll out this announcement. As we were preparing the game files for asset integration, this happened...
And I swear, we did definitely not individually count this batch of files for updating to exactly get that ‘1939’ number! Those with even passing familiarity with World War II will recognize that fateful number as being very special, but even more so beyond that and what makes this an extraordinary coincidence...
First and foremost, we have a meaty new campaign to reveal! As with the Axis Operations series, we’ve done our very best to make sure we’re really making campaigns our players are excited for, and we’re hoping you’ll love what we’ve cooked up this time too.
Without further ado, we are excited to announce....
Fall of Poland, a War Stories Campaign
Right away, we’ve got quite a few things to unpack here. Yes, we've seen Poland 1939 played from Germany’s perspective in Panzer General, Panzer General II, Panzer Corps, Panzer Corps Grand Campaign DLC, Panzer Corps 2, Panzer Corps 2 Axis Operations DLC, and in practically in every other Panzer General-type game you can name. But this time, Panzer Corps 2 is offering something different once again, and we’re offering up a campaign about the defense of Poland. This is Allied campaign content starting right at the very beginning of World War II, on that fateful day of September 1st, 1939!
We’ll reveal a lot more information about this new campaign in the days ahead, but for now you can check out this link for some more details and screenshots:

War Story?
But wait, you might be asking, what is a ‘War Stories’ campaign? Don’t worry, we promise it’ll still have all of that satisfying strategy gameplay our players know and love from Panzer Corps 2. But as an extra twist, we’re hoping to inject some more humanity into that award-winning gameplay formula. We’ve changed the nature of the game’s characters, how they exist in a campaign, and also how information is presented during briefings and scenario events.
As with the Fall of Poland campaign itself, we’ll have more information for you coming in the days ahead, but to give a quick summary, we’re going to put the fate of any campaign characters more directly into your player hands. Their survival, or even their downfall, will stem directly from your gameplay. No more unalterable fates written in stone, this campaign will be your War Story to write based on how you play it out!
We know the first question on many people’s minds will be ‘when is this all coming’, and while we don’t want to make promises we can’t keep, we’re absolutely aiming for a Summer 2024 release. And speaking of which...
