Men of War II | The State of Development of the Offline Mode


Greetings, Commanders! Since the start of Men of War IIs development, we have focused on creating a game with extensive single-player content, while also emphasizing the ability to play any campaign, mission, and mode cooperatively with your friends. And of course, we also wanted to provide as much content to the PvP enthusiasts among our fans. However, as with every endeavor, we had to choose a priority have all those options available at launch and provide the most expansive gameplay experience yet in the franchise, or make the game available offline, sacrificing some of its scope. Looking back, we understand that we have underestimated the value you, our community, places on having the single-player part of the game available offline. We started working on it even before the launch, but it is not an easy process. The online features permeate almost every part of Men of War II changing this takes time and needs to be done carefully, but weve already completed most of the necessary work and are making steady progress towards fully implementing the offline mode for single-player. Currently, we are aiming for release in late September or early October.

What functionality have we already developed?


  • All content necessary for the offline mode to work has been moved to local storage.
  • The ability to turn offline mode on and off in the interface.
  • Added loading/saving player data feature from their offline profiles.
  • The ability to create more serious mods for the game, including full-fledged campaigns and new content for the "Conquest" mode.

What are we still working on?


  • Fixing various technical issues and bugs, implement loading and saving of all data on local computers, and polish the process to reduce loading times as much as possible.
  • Once the offline mode is finalized, every single game mode, mission, and feature needs to be tested.

How will it all work?


After the implementation of the offline mode, Men of War II will work as follows:
  • The game will launch and work even without internet access. You will be able to complete training, all story campaigns, and additional missions, edit available battalions and play with bots, check battle statistics, and organize a lobby for one person.
  • Cooperative, multiplayer, matchmaking, and social functionality (statistics, the ability to connect to friends, dedicated servers, etc.) will normally work only in online mode. In offline mode, these elements will be blocked at the level of the general interface. In addition, some Steam achievements will be unlocked in offline mode, and some only when connected to the Internet.
  • You can switch from offline to online mode directly from the game interface (by default, if you are connected to the internet, it will launch in online mode). Your offline data will be stored in your profile on your PC, so you can safely transfer your data to another computer using the same Steam Cloud, if necessary.
The release of the offline mode is our top priority and while we are working on completing it as soon as possible, we are also not neglecting fixing bugs and improving the overall technical state of the game. As always, if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions or other feedback, please let us know either here in the comments, in Steam Discussions, or even better, join the conversation on the the Men of War II Official Discord Server. As a reminder, if you are experiencing problems with the game and are receiving an error message you are unclear about, we have prepared a troubleshooting guide explaining the most common errors and hints for how to remedy them here. Thank you to everyone who has already purchased Men of War II and is fighting in the trenches of World War II with us our journey is just beginning, and we cant wait to share more info and updates with you.

Experience World War II real-time strategy gameplay like never before! Men of War II, the new chapter in the evolution of the top-rated RTS franchise, brings you an unprecedented number of units with different specializations to command, unyielding attention to historical fidelity, new levels of visual and audio excellence, as well as advanced enemy AI. Lead your troops in intense real-time battles on the Western and Eastern Fronts and overwhelm your opponents in epic narrative single-player campaigns and skirmish modes before diving deep into the multiplayer action.

Utilize sophisticated military strategies, lay ambushes, capture enemy vehicles or weapons, and show your ability as the greatest military leader of all time. Attain full command of different roles: from Artillery and Armor to Infantry and Support. Blast entire buildings to smithereens or construct fortifications to reshape the battlefield - from trenches and dugouts to bunkers and minefields. Use the Direct Control feature to precisely manage any single unit on the field at any time. Dive deep into classical combat mechanics combined with all-new gameplay features and experience the intensity of one of the longest-running series of WWII games in an exciting new way.

Men of War II also boasts a staggering breadth of gameplay options: whether you prefer a realistic take on World War II strategy typical for previous entries in the franchise or enjoy a more casual experience; the captivating stories of narrative campaigns or experimenting with different tactics in ever-changing dynamic modes; challenging other commanders in ranked matches or customizing every detail of each battle in a lobby, Men of War II offers an astounding amount of content to sate your thirst for battle.

Experience epic stories told in three narrative campaigns — lead the desperate Soviet defense against the initial brutal onslaught on the Eastern Front; become a US commander in Normandy, having to improvise with limited resources and adapt to unfamiliar ground, in order to overcome the Nazi war machine; or step into the shoes of an old, disillusioned Wehrmacht officer on the retreat to Berlin, inadvertently delaying the defeat of the regime he himself hates.

Enjoy a more open experience as you take on Historical Campaigns inspired by the Soviet Operation Bagration and the US Operation Overlord with customizable battalion setups and strategies, or the endless possibilities of the fully dynamic Conquest campaign and the skirmish-like Raids, where no two playthroughs are ever the same.

Jump into the biggest and most varied multiplayer mode in franchise history and challenge other players in clashes ranging from 1v1 to 5v5; command a specialized Battalion and find the right synergy with your team-mates; take a more generalist approach with Combined Arms or lead all your nation’s units in the Classic Mode, resembling the Men of War: Assault Squad 2 experience. Take competition to the next level in Match-making and Leagues, tweak a wide range of options in custom Lobbies, or play any part of the single-player content in co-op with up to 4 other players.

From nigh-indestructible tanks, devastating artillery, and nimble airplanes to realistic models of infantry armament and military equipment, Men of War II features the most extensive and highly detailed WWII locations, vehicles, and characters roster in the series to date: three armies, 45 customizable battalions, and close to 400 different units await your commands.

Experience the classical theater of war from a new perspective: every location comes to life with a unique set of fully destructible objects, realistic physics, and immersive sound design. Men of War II takes audio-visual excellence to a new level for the series, with native support for up to 4K resolution and ultra-wide, 21:9 aspect ratio, Physically Based Rendering, and other enhancements. At the same time, the game’s engine takes full advantage of 64-bit, multithreading processing to ensure the best possible optimization and smooth experience even on lower-spec PCs.

Veterans of the series will enjoy the myriad of detailed settings and tweaks available to create a gameplay experience tailored exactly to their liking, with options ranging from turning various UI elements on or off, to the amount of Command Points and Manpower resource available in a match; while others will appreciate the possibility to just jump into a quick match-making battle or use a pre-set roster of units in a mission with no hassle.

Create and share your own war scenarios using a special level design and modding toolset for Men of War II, fully integrated with Steam Workshop. Now the choices are up to you: your creativity; your vision; your skills. The tactical possibilities are endless.
