The next installment of Wargaming.net’s highly-acclaimed strategy series, Massive Assault Network 2, is now available on Direct2Drive, IGN Entertainment’s digital distribution service and a unit of Fox Interactive Media. Consumers can now download the title directly from the Web by visiting: http://www.direct2drive.com.

MAN2 is a strategy game featuring sci-fi conflicts on distant planets and enables players to fight against the world’s most talented strategy gamers online. The planets are big, the armies are vast, the opponents are live, and the challenge is never-ending.

MAN2 is based on the original Massive Assault and inherits the title’s best elements, including the "Secret Allies" concept; streamlined turn-based gameplay; perfectly-balanced unit parameters; state-of-the-art interface and endless replayability.

"MAN2 is paradise for turn-based strategy fans and features the art of war as it was meant to be played," said Victor Kislyi, Wargaming.net’s CEO. "You have a thrilling combination of grand-scale strategic planning and unlimited tactics. We also preserved for gamers the original Massive Assault’s easy-to-learn, hard-to-master formula."

"The real gem of the game is its new online gameplay mode," said Nick Katselapov, VP of Marketing for Wargaming.net. "Gamers can now fight turn-based battles in real time with both players present in the game, and we know this feature will be incredibly popular with our users."
