Tripwire have announced the release date for Rising Storm , their Pacific-based standalone expansion to Red Orchestra 2. As well as the new setting, it promises ferocious asymmetrical battles, authentic weaponry, and soldier morale. If all that sounds like something you'll need time to mentally prepare for, then bad news: the World War 2 multiplayer FPS will be invading Steam tomorrow.

There's a 15% discount available for pre-orders, along with an additional 25% off for existing owners of Red Orchestra 2.
