Blitzkrieg 3 video talks you through eight minutes of multiplayer

Here's Nival's longest unbroken look at their upcoming Blitzkrieg sequel. In it, Smoothvoice McJazz (or whatever the narrator's name is) talks us through an assault against another player's base.

Admiral Ackbar can rest easy; I don't think the "it's a Howitzer!" is going to become the new gold standard for sudden danger. But voiceover aside, it's a useful look at the game and how it will differ from its predecessors. Most notably, that the opponent's base was pre-built by that player—with the AI controlling their units in an asynchronous battle.

Blitzkrieg 3 is due to start its closed beta next month.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
