As an 'old schhol' gamer I'm absolutely delighted that MicroProse are once again spearheading strategy game development - only good things can come from that.
Yes totally MicroProse! I have a lot of good memories playing their games, i even plan to submit a carrier battle game to them for publishing. Also, I'm so old school i'm literally working on a PC game right now called Old Skool Wargame.😄
Modern Naval combat just doesn't translate to a fun game. You're just lobbing anti shipping missles from beyond visual range and there's not much strategy to it when compared to ww2 naval battles using cannons
In the mean time, “Cold Waters” is a very fun and good new submarine sim which has a couple different overhaul mods to make it about surface combat instead.
I had no idea about the upcoming Scourge of War remaster. That's really fantastic news. The fact that you can't even buy the original Scourge of War on Steam, or even on Norb's own website, makes this one sorely needed (though thankfully you can still get Take Command on Steam).
Yeah I found out as I wanted to buy the original games! Really looking forward to this project. Take Command is amazing. One of my favorite wargames! 🚀
They have some really great games but I'm defo keen on their next "wave" of projects. Microprose also have some excellent titles. Just need them to come out in 2024 ;)
As one who grew up in the 80s on MicroProse flight sims and with a personal interest in naval warfare, I'm quite excited to see MicroProse titles coming out! Great vid, thanks.
The games on this list are really awesome and I'm very excited for the Naval ones here. Also Kingdom, Dungeon and Hero looks very niche but could be awesome! Will check it out.
Microprose has some potential blockbusters coming up, but they really need to deliver. Their projects have been public for quite some time now, and if they pan out they will, yet again, have some timeless classics on their hands.
@@burningphoneix true, and they generally doing well. But they need to release one of these early announcement potential classics as well. Granted, they are being made by smaller indie studios, but still.
Thanks for this fantastic list! While I wouldn't consider myself a typical wargamer, a few of these games have definitely piqued my interest. I completely missed the predecessor to Silent Depth 2: Pacific, but it looks very promising. Modern naval warfare could be the successor to Sub Command. Scourge of War: Remastered also looks appealing. If Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age allows submarine gameplay, I'm definitely interested. Broken Arrow has a fantastic sound design and interesting mechanics.
With big names like Slitherine and Microprose back into the full time swing of making wargames, it just reminds me how hard it is to make them right. Because, basically, you are trying to simulate something that cannot happen. In real life, it CANNOT HAPPEN that ONE PERSON is in charge of all these units, in real time, across such large battles. It just doesn't work that way. But when you are trying to make a game, you seemingly have to try to make that work. I personally think that what will move this genre forward more than anything, would be a title that focuses on COOP Role Based teamwork. A game that advertises and demonstrates the value of having roles that focus on specific types of units and tactics, like: 1. One player manages the Army. 2. Another player manages the Navy. 3. Another player manages the Air Force 4. Maybe another focuses specifically on Recon forces or Intel in general. In this way, players can learn and specialize in certain types of battle tactics, and certain units, in a SINGLE slice of the effort. This allows players to get very proficient without being overwhelmed by the complexity of all the different tactics, and engagement ranges, and capabilities of their own units and the expected enemy units. Without that, it's really hard to have a game that is both realistic enough to be engaging, and still manageable by one player. There is just so much you have to keep front of mind, and in real life, noone is ever asked to do that; it is instead spread across a command structure where each group simply manages their own scope and expects others to manage theirs.
Loved the video @LTGamers! Can't wait for the next video man! First video of yours that I'm watching and absolutely loving the content man! Tank Squad looks like a Cross between War Thunder and Squad, but it's still looks cool and is kinda like a World War Two counterpart to Gunner HEAT. Silent Depths 2: Pacific really gives off the Silent Hunter Feels, my main thing is that I hope you get all the Submarines from the Nation's that will be Covered in the Game. It looks like the Devs have done that but it might just be clips from their Trailer for the Game. Men of War II is Definitely worth the Hype, we've waited quite a while for it to come out and it looks so cool!Can't wait to see how things turn out. Armoured Brigade II looks like a Cross between Wargame: Red Dragon and Men of War: Assault Squad II, That's going to be one for the Books to check out. Modern Naval Warfare looks pretty Interesting, especially since they have the More Modern Virginia-class Nuclear Powered Submarines from the United States Navy, which would imply that the Four Submarines of the Vanguard-class from the Royal Navy are among the Ships and Submarines in the Game as well. Most of these Submarines aren't even 30 years old, so any Detailed Information about their Design will still be Classified for the Next 20 years or so. Seeing how the Devs managed to Model what little Information that is available in the Game will be interesting to see. Sea Power: Naval Warfare in the Missile Age, Task Force Admiral and Broken Arrow are all still up for the Hype. I myself am Following the Development of TFA on their Facebook page and they've done a Phenomenal Job with their Renders, the Sounds and even the Soundtrack. 1942 covers the Battle of The Coral Sea in May, The Battle of Midway in June and the Majority of the Guadalcanal Campaign starting in August along with The Battle of the Eastern Solomons in the same Month and The Battle of Santa Cruz in October. I'm hoping that we get to see some more from the Game in Future as there's a lot of History and Equipment to cover especially for the Pacific War. Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video man!
IL-2 Sturmovik: Fortresses and Focke-Wulfs -- Dieppe (a DLC for IL-2 Cliffs of Dover Blitz) is coming out in late 2024. There will be a flyable B-17E, car door Hawker Typhoon, P-51A, Bf-110F, Beaufighter Mk. VI and Fw-190A to name a few.
That would be very welcome. Note those were based on the boardgames of the same name, and since then we've had Whistling Death and Wings of the Motherland, covering the Pacific and Eastern Front respectively. But if this is based on those original games, the designer has kept remarkably quiet about it.
Like 6 months ago I saw a video of a upcoming Battlefield like game, that also had mechs and stuff. Like a mix between Titanfall, battlefield 2142 and Planetside or something. You played as a foot soldier but could also jump into vehicles and mechs. This is all I remember about it sadly, I dont remember the name or any more gameplay details
One thing that comes to mind is the fact that 2 of the games, Task Force 42 and Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age. I've been waiting for the first one so long I dumped it off my wish list. I still have Sea Power which has said Comming Soon since I joined, May 11, 2020. So from your mouth to the gaming God's ear about the 2024 release, because I coming up on 4 years of Coming Soon. Thanks
Well, our loss I guess, but we'll try harder. Maybe then people will remember our actual name when they dismiss us 😂 Still, we're fortunate to have many more people who add us every day than the other way around, so do feel free to come back anytime, we're not going anywhere 😊
@@DrydockDreamsGames After watching the best new wargames I put it back into the list, and I was a fan from the early days. But the Coming Soon needs to be realistic.
@@christophertracey646 The "coming soon" part was the result of Steam arbitrarily streamlining all non-date release dates to said formula in 2023 to avoid creative options. It used to be "to be announced" and it isn't in our control nor these of our publisher. Not our choice.
First mod I do for silent depth would be to get that water off the imaginary camera. They’ll probably have an off button for it in settings I hope tho.
Excellent video! I literally like everything shown here. That said, the single one that i'm looking forward to the most is Task Force Admiral. Going to be a good year for wargames!
I was so disappointed by the MoW2 Demo. I hope they rethink many aspects of the game and make it more like Gates of Hell. Broken Arrow surprised me tho. I think the deck building is way better than in WarNo and building heights actually matter. I'm very excited for this game 😊
My only (and several others judging from in-game chat) complained that we need 30 minutes max in Broken Arrow. It would stop the "spend it all on tanks and push" strategy, among other things. 45 minutes is just too much 😅
Would be kinda cool if there was strategy game that had logistics and fortification building from Foxhole, economics of Vic2 and unit building from HOI4 and had single player too. But I would be satisfied if there was game similar to foxhole without being mp only.
As someone who currently serves in the US Submarine service the Naval games get me excited. Really not looking forward to the Gi don’t knows who are going to argue about realism though.
I'm a veteran of 22 years and I have enjoyed these types of games for a very long while and am old enough (65) to have known things like Stratego and happily played with those "Little Green Army Men" while watching Rat Patrol, 12 O'clock High, etc. But now, as said old man, I have to wonder what it says about us as a species that these types of "entertainment" still fascinate us??? The study of human history is the study of war, destruction, and death. Not surprising then that our games and entertainment mirror all that. 😞
As a veteran, war is the one human endeavor that unlike wargames, doesn't reward losers or cheaters. We are after all predators at our most basic level (BTW, you left out the Lieutenant and Combat two of my favorites from childhood). I like the detail of some of these games and hope the anti-cheats work better than War Thunder.
I wondered this at one point and a friend mentioned that it is also remembering the bravery and courage of said soldiers. Facing death and creating history (which we remember and recreate).
I don't disagree with any of these but I was surprised you didn't mention Ultimate General: American Revolution. There is also the Flashpoint Campaigns Central Storm - although technically that could be considered a DLC
The devs of both games are active on the Microprose discord and are constantly giving out updates. Progress is happening, they just have small dev teams (iirc TFA only has one actual programmer) so it’s slow.
they need to bring back the classic "red baron 3d' game revamped with modern graphics and gameplay...yes warthunder and DCS is great but the campaign mode of red baron was way ahead of its time
Is there anything that focuses on squad level combat? I haven't gamed seriously in many years but have great memories of Ghost Recon and especially Operation Flashpoint from 20 odd years ago. What about Total War - do they have anything coming out this year?
I don’t know what you like exactly but I highly recommend the Field of Glory series (Ancients and Medieval). Best turn-based wargames to come on PC in a long time.
I played the open beta of Broken Arrow and it was a very solid game, but i really hope they'll implement auto recording and replay like warno so we can enjoy the graphism and analyse what's going on because this game is both a lot of macro and micro and you have 0 time to enjoy the details this game offer, which is a shame coz it's quite gorgeous for the genre.
Scourge of War *could* be good. A lot to fix. Mainly related to unit control and poor sprites. I don’t know why Take Control just played better. With no Napoleon TW 2 there is a market there to grab. Wishing the team the best.
Task Force Admiral is a continuation of a previous series that started in the early 1990s -Task Force 1942: Surface Naval Action in the South Pacific which was followed by 1942: The Pacific Air War Huh.... I remembered that both titles had Task Force in the name.... But I guess I was wrong.... Mandela effect ftw.
As an 'old schhol' gamer I'm absolutely delighted that MicroProse are once again spearheading strategy game development - only good things can come from that.
We are in contact with them and exploring their new projects. We appreciate old school gamers here 🚀🙂
Yes totally MicroProse! I have a lot of good memories playing their games, i even plan to submit a carrier battle game to them for publishing. Also, I'm so old school i'm literally working on a PC game right now called Old Skool Wargame.😄
It ain't Bill Stealey anymore though. Just a brand name. Hope they do well, we'll see.
M1 Tank Platoon was the first real PC war game I enjoyed, played the heck out of it and then AH-64, great classic games
great games with graphic from 2005 year
I'm so excited for Sea Power and Modern Naval Warfare. We haven't had a realistic modern naval sim since Dangerous Waters in 2005.
Totally agree! Was just discussing both of these with Tom and how great they look :)
Seeing Sea Power reminds me of the days I used to play Fleet Command.
Modern Naval combat just doesn't translate to a fun game. You're just lobbing anti shipping missles from beyond visual range and there's not much strategy to it when compared to ww2 naval battles using cannons
@@BoleDaPole Never played Dangerous Waters then, MNW is a modernised version of DW and like its predecessor a very hard sim
In the mean time, “Cold Waters” is a very fun and good new submarine sim which has a couple different overhaul mods to make it about surface combat instead.

Doing the research for this really got me excited about these projects also!
Thank you for bringing these to my attention! I have not heard of most of these.

M1 Tank Platoon WAY back in the day was awesome. Something like that would be awesome. The WWII sub game another great idea.
Go for Gunner, HEAT PC.
@@TheOrdomalleus666 wow! Yea that’s what I am looking for. Thank you.
Played so many Microprose games when they were on Commodore 64! So glad they seem to be coming back strong. Liked and subbed

@@LTGamingTH-cam I'll definitely be looking for that one. Cheers!

Yet another strong selection from the inexhaustible LTG… whatever you boiz are on, bottle it - you’ll make a million 🐸❤️✅
I played Silent Service 2 in the end 90s, and loved it. I'n in for the new one.
It's a dream come true hopefully. Plus VR can't wait
so excited for armored brigade 2. combat mission has needed a competitor for a long time. i didnt realize AB2 was going 3D.
Great video! Very informative and to the point! New sub! Thanks!
We have an updated version coming in a few days :)
@@LTGamingTH-cam Awesome!
Excited about Task Force Admiral!
I just got access to the build today :)
Does this mean it's almost ready to launch?
I really hope it comes out on PS5
Great list. Broken Arrow is my #1 can't wait! But AB2, TFA, and Seapower Missile age are also big standouts and insta-buys.
Microprose has some potential blockbusters coming up, but they really need to deliver. Their projects have been public for quite some time now, and if they pan out they will, yet again, have some timeless classics on their hands.
Microprose have already published some bangers: High Fleet, Ground Branch, Carrier Command 2, Tiny Combat Arena....etc
@@burningphoneix true, and they generally doing well. But they need to release one of these early announcement potential classics as well. Granted, they are being made by smaller indie studios, but still.
@@daft990l actually agree with you
Waiting for TF1942 successor for decades 😢
world in conflict was amazing, the story mode especially, i loved every minute of it, the gameplay was also very engaging.
The last 3 are the one's i'm lookin forward to them: Sea Power, Task Force Admiral and Broken Arrow.
That hex game bares strong resemblance to an old SSI game called Fantasy General, based on the Panzer General 1 engine!
Totally agree!
Sea power, modern naval warfare, taskforce admiral and broken arrow by far are the games i want the most
I always see these videos but never see the games actually released.
so cool how microprose is kind of back into the landscape again.

World in Conflict, One of my favs, Still have a piece of the Berlin wall-from collectors ed. Poor Space Needle..lol
I would very much be surprised if some of these release this year! It would be a welcomed surprise!
Thanks God for Slitheryne and Microprose
Slitherine is just profiting of works of others. Is is just an editor that developers hate for that
Oh boy! So many to choose from. I've wishlisted several on Steam all thanks to you.
Most welcome :)
Thanks man, really nice video !!
Scramble: Battle of Britain looks like a extremely vamped up version of Achtung Spitfire!
Which would make it a must buy for me. It's ages since I've been able to get that game to work on a PC.
Awesome list, man. Might be an unpopular opinion but RTS games such as Gates of Pyre should be in the next video in my opinion
Oh man, you totally forgot the new Commandos game coming out! Lookin forward to that.
I'm really looking forward to Task Fprce Admiral, hope it delivers all they said it will.

Scramble looks like the same battle system as BSG Deadlock. looks very intriguing
Task Force admiral give me War on the Sea vibes. Be really curious to see how they compare, and what TFA does to exceed this really good game. 👍

As usual, an outstanding job! Thank you very much!
Thank you boss for your kind coverage of TFA ;)
Cheers
No worries looks an excellent project and we would love to cover it more!
Speaking of Sea Power - It really pisses me off that Cold Waters was abandoned. It is such a load of fun and deserves much more expansion.
Such a great game 🚀
Scourge of war looks great, I also loved Silent Hunter and Uboat is also great crack
Task Force Admiral is just Pacific Navy Fighter on the phone. Its an epic game.
Not really, as you don’t directly control aircraft in TFA, but man you bringing up that game unlocked some memories form my android days lol
I never base a game's enjoyment based on graphics for a cut scene or demo. But I've been a fan of Microsoft since the days of C64.
Post Scriptum / Squad 44 should be on this list. Massive relaunch and the most immersive game around.
Don't count on any these companies delivering anything..fool me once shame on you...fool me twice shame on me
Task Force Admiral is the one I'm waiting impatiently for.

All about Task Force Admiral!
Are any of these war gaming titles going to be available for PlayStation 4/5 to compete with the monopoly WT currently seems to have?
Isnt men of war assault squad 2 already a game?
Was the Scourge of War footage from the original game. It literally looks the same with no Graphics improvement which was always a problem for me.
As someone who currently serves in the US Submarine service the Naval games get me excited. Really not looking forward to the Gi don’t knows who are going to argue about realism though.
Isn't Task force Admiral just a modernised 1942: The Pacific Air War? Looks like Microprose just modernised it which is no bad thing
Do we know the release date of Sea Power?
I'm gonna ask the question!
what about MECH combat games... in VR.... why the hell are their so few of MECH GAMES.
Is Kingmakers tickling anybody? Love the concept, worried about execution!

Can I play all games on steam even if I have a Mac???....Thanks
Are these for the pc or console ie ps5
I really miss battle battlestations pacific, that game was peak game design.
I played the open beta of Broken Arrow and it was a very solid game, but i really hope they'll implement auto recording and replay like warno so we can enjoy the graphism and analyse what's going on because this game is both a lot of macro and micro and you have 0 time to enjoy the details this game offer, which is a shame coz it's quite gorgeous for the genre.
Don’t get me wrong I like the ones getting released by micropose but I wish they would update us on the mighty 8th vr or the bloody 100th.
Mighty 8th is out!
@@LTGamingTH-cam the vr version? I know the redux was and the originals bug I thought the vr was still in development
I totally missed the word VR there haha@@TNTxEAGLE3286
@@LTGamingTH-cam no problem it’s easy to miss
Task Force Admiral looks fantastic but probably 2025
Turn based fighter simulator? That sounds like something that would suck terribly but if they pulled it off would somehow still be fun
who knows the name of a pc online world war game that can be fought with tanks, jets, boats, motorcycles or guns in one place
Turn based tactical dogfighting game sounds amazing
You get it 🚀🚀
Scourge of War *could* be good. A lot to fix. Mainly related to unit control and poor sprites. I don’t know why Take Control just played better. With no Napoleon TW 2 there is a market there to grab. Wishing the team the best.
Surprised you've not mentioned UBOAT given it's about to come out of Early Access.
Well its in Early Access...this is Upcoming games.
Task Force Admiral is a continuation of a previous series that started in the early 1990s -Task Force 1942: Surface Naval Action in the South Pacific which was followed by 1942: The Pacific Air War Huh.... I remembered that both titles had Task Force in the name.... But I guess I was wrong.... Mandela effect ftw.
