The latest attempt to make a MMO real-time strategy game is due for its official launch later this summer. Publisher 505 Games announced today it has the rights to publish Dawn of Fantasy, the game from Toronto-based developer Reverie World Studios.

The game takes place in the rather generic sounding land of Mythador with three playable factions (men, elves and orc) available to players. The press release says that the game is designed for PC with low hardware requirements but will still be able to render thousands of units on screen. The game is scheduled to launch on June 3.

In recognition of the 65th anniversary of Victory Day in Europe, the 505 Games and 1c Company have announced that the Men of War multiplayer client will be free to download and play for 13 days. The free-to-play client will be active from May 11th to the 23rd, so players will have a chance to take part in the intense online action. The client requires a temporary access key, which can be obtained here.

A single player demo is also available, which can be downloaded here.

"Men of War is a stunning real-time Strategy game that takes place during the height of World War II. Intense battles span Europe and North Africa as gamers play as Soviet, Allied or German forces across 19 massive single-player missions."
