Tabletop publisher Jumbo Games has partnered with Wanted 5 Games to bring the classic board game of Stratego back to video games with an all-new title. Technically called Stratego Online, this is the first time it's been made into a video game in nearly 15 years, bringing the classic version to life while also providing several online options for you to face other players. Both for PC and mobile devices. No official launch date has been set, but we suspect it will be out before the end of 2026. Enjoy the info and trailer here in the meantime.
Return to the Classic Battlefield and Capture The Flag on Stratego Online
The premise of Stratego is simple: capture the opponent's flag to win. The beauty of the game lies in its strategy: players start by arranging their 40-piece army (including their flag) in a hidden formation on their side of the board. Each player will take turns moving or attacking using a single unit, with the stronger piece winning the skirmish. Deduce where opponents have placed their strongest units, carefully declare battle, and ultimately capture their flag. Additional interactions, like unique unit type mechanics and the mind games you can play against your opponent between rounds, add a deeper layer to the game.
