- Engaging and replayable campaign: Define the success of the historic ‘D-Day’ battle with a replayable campaign with 15 different endings. Form a specialist team, court the Resistance factions and aid them in building their strength, and make decisions that lead to game-changing outcomes.
- Historically authentic gameplay: Mirroring real-world military tactics, missions are a thrilling, varied experience. Use your tactical toolbox of stealth, ambush, morale and flanking to outwit the enemy and aid the Resistance.
- The Classified System: Built on the ‘Classified System’ players can access in-game tools to create their own missions to share with the community.
The game is headed for several gaming systems, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.
