Rising Storm is an upcoming stand-alone expansion pack/total conversion modification to Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad developed by Tripwire Interactive in conjunction with the modding community. The title will focus on the Pacific campaign of World War II. Announced in May 2010, the game was scheduled for release in 2013. This is now confirmed as the Steam release date states that the game will release in Summer of 2013. It currently has four factions including the United States Marine Corps, the United States Army, the Imperial Japanese Army, and the Special Naval Landing Force. The game will take the player around the Pacific with maps varying from the Battle of Tarawa which was mostly a desert-island type environment to the Battle of Saipan at Charan Kanoa which was an urban environment. Gameplay has been described as asymmetrical due to the Japanese having inferior weaponry to the Americans to maintain historical accuracy. The result was the need to provide incentives in the Japanese teams to make players want to play as the Japanese. These incentives ranged from the Knee Mortar to the booby-trap grenades.
