The Team Always Has Your Back

Heroes & Generals is a complete war experience, where your team always has your back. Every single player makes a difference, but you win, lose and make friends as a team.

You play as heroes fighting on the frontline, flying planes, parachuting and commanding vehicles ranging from ordinary bicycles to heavily armored tanks as you take part in one grand, persistent online war fought by players across the world. Some players even take control of the war as generals determining the strategic direction.

As a player, everything you do matters. You have a sense of purpose in the war and a reason to form lasting bonds with your brothers in arms.

Make a difference – Fight for Friends.
