Wargaming.net has released 30 new screenshots from
Phantom Renaissance (also available in our
gallery), a stand-alone expansion for
Massive Assault which will offer 6 new planets, 2 new campaigns, 20 new single-player scenarios, the Assault game mode, improved AI and an enhanced engine, 10 new units, unique for each side, and many more. This screen pack includes the first images of the innovative ’Assault’ mode. A player is supposed to recruit the assault teams, which will be descended from the drop-ships into designated zones on the enemy territory and storm a bunch of well-protected strongholds. This mode will provide ’acting behind the front line’ and ’sabotage’ gameplay spirit. The assault forces are relatively small (except for ’Easy’ difficulty level), and a player will have to develop cunning strategies to score the victory. The screens also showcase further development of ’Career’ mode and two new planets: "Thunder" Station, which is an orbital battle platform built around an asteroid, and "Inferno" - the realm of fire, lava and volcanoes. Both planets present unique terrain configuration, which will lead to new warfare styles. Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance is set for release in Q1 2005.
