World War 3 went on sale in early access in October 2018. The game's debut was successful, but technical problems led to a quick decline in player numbers. The developers were forced to to shut down regional servers and eventually the project was pulled from sale on Steam.
Thanks to the cooperation with MY.Games the authors were given the opportunity to resurrect the project. The new version is to offer numerous improvements and changes. Currently the access to closed tests is available on Steam. Purchasers will of course receive the full version after the release.
