Press release:
London, 2nd July 2026 – Commanders, mark your calendars and prepare for deployment! PQube and Joy Brick today announced that Panzer Knights: Commander’s Edition, the anime-inspired third-person tank sim, will launch digitally on PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S on 13 August 2026, alongside a physical PlayStation® 5 release in Europe. The Commander’s Edition brings the most complete version of the game to consoles for the first time, packaging the base game with three bonus content packs that feature the iconic M4-748 Sherman, M26 Pershing, Churchill VII, Valentine XI, Panzer VIII Maus, and Elefant.
To celebrate the announcement, a new Gameplay Overview Trailer was released offering players a closer look at the game’s tactical combat systems, crew management mechanics, and World War II battlefields.
In Panzer Knights: Commander’s Edition, players command a German armoured platoon throughout some of World War II’s most pivotal campaigns, fighting across Europe from the invasion of Poland to the brutal battles of the Eastern Front.
Players will need to overcome high-stakes skirmishes by using the terrain to their advantage, loading specialised ammunition, and exploiting enemy weak points to destroy opposing forces. Success on the battlefield will depend on tactical decision making, requiring players to manage their tank’s vitals, coordinate their forces in real time, and call in support at the right moment to turn the tide of battle.
Between missions, players can build an elite team from 30 anime-styled recruits, each with their own unique skills to develop and backstories to discover. Experimenting with different crew combinations and tank loadouts will allow players to adapt to changing objectives and gain an advantage against battlefield threats!
