Burning Horizon er en såkalt stand alone add-on, og vil lanseres i løpet av 2. kvartal 2004. Det loves mye snadder i denne oppfølgeren og her følger et enslig skjermbilde og et utdrag fra pressemeldingen:

Blitzkrieg Sequel due for release in second quarter of 2004

The Blitzkrieg continues

With the official add-on Blitzkrieg: Burning Horizon CDV and Nival Interactive throw you in even more dramatic battles of WWII. Burning Horizon offers a huge 18-missions-campaign centered around General Rommel, giving you the opportunity to play famous battles like Ardennes, Tripolis, Tobruk, El Alamein, Sicily and, of course, Normandy. Furthermore, the add-on contains 8 single missions, with an entire new nation at war: Japan.

50 new units like Zero fighters and Blenheim bombers, the M5 Stuart and many specialized German tanks, US Marines and Afrika Korps units fill the strategy package. Burning Horizon gives the parties a better AI: the enemy seeks weak spots in your lines, clears minefields, handles his air force cleverly. The mission objectives offer a wide range, e.g. airborne assaults, evacuations, covert ops, defense manoeuvres, counter attacks or assassinations.

Burning Horizon is going to be released in the second quarter 2004 as a stand-alone add-on, so there's no need for the original Blitzkrieg.
