Annoncé il y a près d’un an, voici que l’on a enfin pu lors du récent événement Home of Wargamers 2022 découvrir plus en détail ce futur « jeu » allant permettre de simuler avec précision, autant qu’un jeu de stratégie le permette, une guerre nucléaire à grande échelle. Plus qu’un jeu, il s’agira en fait surtout d’une boîte à outil permettant de modéliser de nombreux effets potentiels, fonction de nombreux paramètres.
Vous trouverez également par exemple du coté de Matrix les récents deux premiers chapitres des notes de développement du jeu, le premier sur les scénarios et les mods, le second sur la base de données des armements et des sites militaires pris en compte dans cette simulation. L’occasion d’y apercevoir aussi pas mal de screenshots.
Pour plus d’informations sur Nuclear War Simulator, dont la date à laquelle il va irradier nos écrans est désormais peut-être située avant la fin du monde de 2022, on verra, voyez le site officiel et cette fiche sur Steam. Alternativement voyez aussi cette page sur le site “Pro Software” de Matrix Games.
Si vous préférez un jeu plus ludique sur le même thème, voyez éventuellement sur Steam ICBM.

MATRIX’S HOW 2022 LIVE
Ten titles, two hours of live streams,
100% wargamesEpsom, October 13th. During its Home of Wargamers:100% Wargames live showcase, Matrix Games showed updates on 10 wargame titles.
“Today was a big day for hexes and counters. When, in 2010, Slitherine acquired Matrix Games, the gaming world was different; we didn’t have a Steam presence, and we had to be very protective with prices and discounts. Finding a new development partner specialized in wargames was still a frequent possibility. We are now here, twelve years later, ready to celebrate wargames with a two-hour HOW live event solely about wargames alongside a series of dedicated live streams on twitch, with deep discounts and promotions, and the hope that the development community notices how vibrant and lively this fantastic hobby is”, said Marco Minoli, CMO Matrix Games and Slitherine.
The event featured never-seen-before footage for the eagerly awaited Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm, how to control a 7,000 ton Hunter Killer submarine in Modern Naval Warfare, the first public showing of Rule the Waves 3, news about masterpieces like the Combat Mission series, Command Modern Operations, and the new Oceania DLC for Shadow Empire. During the live show, the developers of these games talked about the new content of their titles and the future of these franchises.
Marco Minoli added “We are eager to re-position the Home of Wargames brand so that it genuinely feels like a place to share a passion and discuss it with friends. We’ll keep investing in the hobby, it is our responsibility as market leaders, and it’s also an ongoing mission for both the company’s founders and the new members”.

Ivan Stepanov, the developer of Nuclear War Simulator, joined HOW and talked about his software.
