Red Orchestra 2 GOTY edition announced

Tripwire Interactive has announced a GOTY edition for its WWII shooter sequel Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad.

To celebrate the announcement, the developer is releasing free DLC for current owners of the game as well as throwing a free Steam weekend for anyone with a Steam account who’d like to try the PC title.

The add-on will feature both an ‘Action’ mode with a crosshair, easier aiming, toned down recoil, reduced damage, and access to a lot of weapons from the get-go, and a ‘Classic’ mode with a more tactical feel reminiscent of the original game.

A new Mamayev Kurgan map, and various adjustments to vehicles and game performance are also included.

The Red Orchestra 2 free Steam weekend will start at 10 AM PDT this Thursday, May 24th, and runs through Sunday, May 27th. The new content will arrive ahead of the start of the free event.

All that good stuff said, no word on when the GOTY edition will actually release.
