First things first, it's the announcement that The Last Great War is now focusing on the Pacific Theater of Operations for the initial release. Before we were being built around the concept of US. vs. Germany. Now we're setting our sights on the US, British and Australians vs. Imperial Japan with a total of six maps for the initial release. We'll announce the maps one by one during the coming months.


We came to this decision by looking at trends & supply and demand. While the Pacific is growing in popularity, it's still not at the same level the European Theater of Operations is. Films such as Saving Private Ryan and the miniseries Band of Brothers really helped build up and give strength to the genre. With a new 10 part mini-series under development now set in the Pacific, we believe the Pacific will recieve the same surge of interest that Band of Brothers did for Europe. We switched to the Pacific because we saw it as a better opportunity to do something new and different, and at the same time, be able to draw in an audience. If the mod is successful, we will live up to our original plan of nation packs and finish off the other theaters of the war with the 2nd nation pack planned to feature the US, British, and Canadians against the Germans back in Europe. This new lineup does not effect the Singleplayer set around Stalingrad, Sophia, and Kerch.

After a long wait, we at the LGW Dev Team are finally presenting a new website. Credits go to Gh0st for the design, who unfortunatley disappeared, and to Cow for putting it all back together for us and many others to getting this site & its content online. We're creating another brand new flash site set to go live later this year, probably around Christmas, a more dynamic, fully built one. This one was basically just salvaged from what gh0st left us, so the new one will be our own from scratch. The Last Great War Development Team, is also now in the process of searching for skilled new members to help us make this mod happen as several important dev team members had to leave due to personal reasons. The Last Great War is currently in search of:

-Animators
-Player Modelers
-Shader Artists
-XSI Proficient Artists
-UVW Unwrappers/3D Meshers
-Concept Artists mainly for the extensive Singleplayer Side-Element of LGW.

If you are interested in joining LGW for any of these positions, please stop by our forums, or email jointhestaff@lastgreatwar.com Please include work examples.

Thanks for your patience, and we hope you enjoy this new website.
