Official First Statement on Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad

[Spawndemon]

Ramm Jaeger, the president of Tripwire Interactive, creators of the game Red Orchestra: Ostfront: 41-45, has made a forum post recently discussing an article published in PC Gamer Magazine about the next game they are working on: Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad. Although the world's gamers may be happy to hear about this new title, the release of this article surprised the company and they are now having to kick their PR department into high gear. Here's what Ramm has to say:

Ok, here is the official statement on the game for now. Yes there is an article about our new UE3 game Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad in the UK and US PC Gamer magazines. Frankly, we're more than a bit surprised at the timing of the release of the article. To put it quite bluntly we thought this would hit after the release of Killing Floor. As such we'll be doing a bit of a scramble to get our PR efforts in order while we are in the middle of getting another game ready to ship.

I know many of you have been waiting a very long time for this news, and I am very happy that we can finally confirm what we've been working on these past three years. RO:HOS (as we call it) is real, its using UE3, and its awesome Just bear with us while we recover from this unexpected announcement and in the immortal words of Battlestar Galactica - all will be revealed.

For now, we're not going to say anything else about the game. We'll let the article speak for itself. As Alan mentioned please don't post scans of the article on this forum. Additionally, please don't post quotes of text from the article on these forums. Our proper PR effort will begin in earnest soon, so you'll get more from us on that in the coming days.

While not necessarily the official announcement they were hoping for, it's good to know some more information on the game they have been developing. Stay tuned for more news on Heroes of Stalingrad as we will likely get some more official stories soon.

The screens from the PC gamer spread were pretty amusing.
