Excalibur Publishing has announced that it has signed a UK publishing deal for Tripwire Interactive's much-anticipated latest project, Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45.

Based on the most highly-acclaimed Unreal mod ever made, Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 is a full-featured, stand-alone World War II First Person Combat sim that brings players to the frontlines of Eastern European combat during the height of the conflict. Players choose from 28 infantry weapons or crew 1 of 14 detailed vehicles on the Russian Front between 1941 and 1945. The combination of roles across more than one dozen maps, and based on real-world locations and battles, allows Red Orchestra to finally achieve its goal of delivering a full first-person, World War II infantry and vehicle combat simulation.

Alan Wilson, VP of Tripwire Interactive, said: "We are pleased to have secured this UK publishing deal especially with an organization like Excalibur. We're looking for great things from the UK market!" Excalibur's MD, Robert Stallibrass stated, "Red Orchestra is an outstanding product. Without doubt this is one of the most important PC releases this summer."
