With the rise of “pre-order” madness wherein companies offer beta participation in exchange for a full down-payment on their game, free demos are something of a lost art. Fortunately, Ubisoft and Steam have teamed up to bring you a completely free weekend of their upcoming World War 2 real-time strategy game, R.U.S.E.

For those unfamiliar with the game, R.U.S.E. is a a WW2 RTS centered around the art of deception. Victory will require expert bluffing, spying, sabotage, and, you know, strategy — you’ll be able to hide units, reveal enemy plans, create decoy offensives, and a number of other unrevealed actions to deceive and ultimately destroy opponents.

Of course, you’ll just have to play it to see if it’s any good. Click here to launch Steam and start pre-loading R.U.S.E.
