World War II Online: Blitzkrieg is a World War II massively multiplayer online first-person shooter (MMOFPS) developed by Playnet, Inc.'s internal game studio, "Cornered Rat Software", and it was originally released on June 6, 2001 for Microsoft Windows, with a Mac OS version being released in 2002. In 2005, WWII Online was re-released under the new name of WWII Online: Battleground Europe.
In the summer of 2017, WWII Online was released on Steam Early Access[3] where it once again returned its name back to the original "WWII Online".
As of June 2021 the developers were working to port WWII Online from its proprietary engine to the Unreal Engine 5 in an effort to modernize graphics and workflows.
