October 5^th, 2004 (12:00am) - Matrix Games and 2 by 3 Games have decided to change the planned release date for Gary Grigsby’s World At War from November, 2004 to February, 2005. Speculation and excitement have increased regarding the release of this title after a series of Summer previews and conventions. Additional testing, gameplay and AI enhancements have been agreed on that will require the additional time to finish.

Designed by the legendary Gary Grigsby, who has over twenty-five published wargames under his belt, including Steel Panthers and several more in the Computer Gaming World Hall of Fame, this grand strategy title is designed from the ground up to be an accessible wargame for the casual gamer while remaining realistic enough for the grognard. Developed by the acclaimed 2 by 3 Games team that brought the award-winning Uncommon Valor and War in the Pacific to gamers around the world, Gary Grigsby’s World At War is World War II grand strategy done right.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said, "We’re glad to finally lift the fog of war a bit and let gamers know when to expect this title, which we believe will redefine for players what a grand strategy game should be. We regret having to delay the release date from the original schedule, but the remaining time between now and February will really allow 2 by 3 Games to hone the gameplay and add the final touches that strategy gamers demand."

With Gary Grigsby’s World at War, the historical course of World War II may change depending on your choices. If you succeed, the Western Allies may be conquered by Germany, or Japan may defeat China. With you at the controls, leading the fates of nations and alliances, anything is possible in this new strategic offering.
