Atari ha annunciato ufficialmemte l'arrivo di 1944: Battle of the Bulge, terzo episodio all'interno della serie di strategici in tempo reale ambientati durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale di Monte Cristo, che può già contare sulla presenza di Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps e D-Day.
Il gioco, costruito sullo stesso motore grafico dei precedenti titoli, inizia con la prima apparizione dei Jagdpanthers a Chaumont - il momento in cui gli Alleati capirono di come la vittoria non sarebbe stata raggiunta con facilità - e permette al giocatore di combattere contro il Brandenburger Regiment, penetrando alle spalle delle linee nemiche.
Da questo punto il gioco si muove sul River Meuse e a Bastogne, dove gli americani lanciarono una massiccia controffensiva grazie al maggiore dispiegamento di forze sul terreno, per concludersi con la battaglia finale di Remagen.
