It’s go-time against the Petroglyph pros this Friday, November 6 from 10am to 12pm PST!

Well, organize yourselves into 5-man teams and shoot a whisper to Community Manager Petro_GGitsChief in chat alerting him beforehand of your team roster. Prizes to be awarded to the match victors and bandaids to the...um...non-victors!
And if that weren’t enough, we’ll even be hosting “Bounty” matches between 2pm and 4pm PST on Friday as well. Take out designated Petroglyph team members in combat and earn prizes, freebies and bragging rights!
So invite your buddies, mark your calendars and practice up – No-Mercy Friday is just around the corner!

Quick FAQ
Here is a Quick FAQ for some recent questions raised by the community:
Will Battle Battalions be on Steam?
Yes
What do I get if I played a Petroglyph game before?
Petroglyph has had several on-line products in the past including Battle for Graxia and Rise of Immortals. When we go live with Battle Battalions, anyone who spent money on our previous products will be gifted a bonus, virtually, within Battle Battalions. We are working on developing that process.
What about other territories?
Battle Battalions will have servers located around the world and will be localized into the following languages at or near launch: Russian, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Korean.
Can you speak to Victory Command?
Victory Command, a free-to-play tactical PC game in development by Petroglyph, was introduced earlier this year via Steam’s Early Access program through a third-party publisher. Petroglyph has now taken steps to directly publish the game, emerging now as its forthcoming spiritual successor, Battle Battalions.
