Your Squad Needs You! Heroes of Valor Launches into Steam Early Access on 12th June
Plus, a whole tank-load of new features & maps deployed in a brand new trailer!
Haarlem, The Netherlands – 3 June, 2025 – Iceberg Interactive and developer Fancy Cat Interactive are proud to announce that Heroes of Valor, the World War II inspired 3rd person shooter where every decision counts (and every mistake is spectacular), will launch into Steam Early Access this month. The news comes following the success of its recent playtest, where Heroes of Valor welcomed 45,000 eager recruits and there will be even more to delve into on 12th June!
“The response to the playtest for Heroes of Valor has been phenomenal! ” said Frederic Degraeve, developer at Fancy Cat Interactive. “We’ve had a great time watching everyone’s antics on the battlefield and we’re super excited to now bring the game to Early Access and continue developing the game and the community, taking learnings to help build Heroes of Valor into the WWII shooter that can bring joy (And mild panic) to all keen recruits.”
Join the battle in the thick of WWII, where tactics matter, cover is fleeting and no, friendly fire is not a thing, so go nuts! Heroes of Valor puts you in the boots of a keen and willing soldier where you’ll need to think fast, fight hard and dominate the battlefield to leave your mark on the war.
The Early Access launch brings 5 varied and exciting maps for wannabe heroes, and with 45+ weapons, 8 skills, almost 200 cosmetic items and more planes, tanks and other vehicles than you can shake a grenade at (Please don’t shake the grenades…), soldiers will be armed to the teeth, ready for endless squad-based shenanigans.
Key Features
- Class-Based Mayhem: Choose from Trooper, Heavy, Recon, or Engineer. Each class brings unique weapons, abilities, and battlefield roles.
- All-Out Warfare: Infantry skirmishes, tank duels, aerial dogfights, and more. Switch roles and tactics on the fly across various warzones.
- Objective-Driven Combat: Just slaying the enemy won’t do. We need to achieve our goals in this war! Conquer those objectives, or your heroism will all be for nothing.
- Stylized Carnage: A stylised, character-driven visual style meets the grit of World War II. It’s warfare with flair and firepower.
- Smart Bots, Relentless Action: Fight alongside or against intelligent bots that flank, fly, and fight with real strategy.
- Fully Customizable Battles: Set match rules, bot difficulty, time of day, and map rotation. Solo, co-op, or chaos with friends.
- Hero Customization: Unlock outfits, weapon skins, emotes, and more to suit your soldier’s style.
- Easy to Jump In, Hard to Put Down: Accessible for new recruits. Deep enough for seasoned veterans. Now enlist already, soldier! What are you waiting for! At this rate we might just run out of enemies!
