Play of Battle S.A. is a Polish game studio developing Systemic War, an ambitious grand strategy game set between 2008 and 2025. Players take control of the world’s leading powers, shaping their political, military, and economic decisions during one of the most turbulent periods of modern history.

Systemic War is a strategic simulation of the real world—blending global politics, warfare, and economics. The game explores great power rivalry, the race for technological supremacy, next-generation conflicts, and the ever-shifting dynamics of the modern battlefield.
