It is a Slitherine/Matrix published game for sure, have seen the demo last April in Italy at the designer meeting, impressive stuff.

"One of the most exciting and realistic war games ever created" ... Yeah right - with health bars. If this were any other industry people would be suing them all over the place for misrepresentation.
And this...
Turn-based strategy games are taking over the world of video gaming, and this one shows us why. With an arsenal of powerful weaponry, detailed maps, and in-depth, strategic moves, HISTORY ® Legends of War: Patton holds top rank in war games!
Tells me they may be trying to kick it out the door as fast as possible on the coat tails of XCOM. Which may mean ....

^^Zulu I'm all for living off the coat tails of XCOM. It will mean more TBS titles for the console, something which I'm very excited about. Ok so maybe they might be dumbed down TBS games but if I want to play something intelligent I can play that on my PC.

Absolutely - if its as good as XCOM - not a problem - I was reticent as it seemed in some way they were rushing it - given the complete lack of info at their publishers.

Well yes - it at least appears there they are admitting ownership and a release date. Although there are still only two posts.
sounds like the release of the other TBS WW2 mega realistic tosh they put out and then the developer abandoned it

History: Legends of War Patton - Official Trailer

A disappointing trailer....appears to be a cut scene and not actual gameplay footage at all.
This game originally appeared several years ago for the PSP. I don't think it was ever released in physical form. I think it was available as a download for awhile on The Playstation Store. At that time it didn't have anything to do with the History Channel. So, it looks like HC picked it up along with another dev and is repackinging it for release now.
Well - now its appeared under a completely different website and has a release date of 2013 ?

Mind you the video looks quite nice.
It looks like it might end up being fun...but then again, who the Hell knows? Worth keeping an eye on at least.
Not sure I 'get' the History Channel branding. With the way that network has gone, people will go in expecting to get resupplied by the Ice Road Truckers or something.

Not as bad as the military channel. They now have a DMZ time slot - which specifically shows non military programmes - I mean whats the point of calling irt the military channel and then excluding military programmes ? Stupid.
According to these guys the game will be released in North America on November 20th.
