Around 2 months after its announcement, Absolutely Games and Team17 Digital today shared the first Classified: France ’44 gameplay video. Classified: France ’44 is a World War 2 strategy game and is slated for an Autumn 2023 release window.
Watch the Classified: France ’44 gameplay video here:
This new gameplay video outlines the game’s mechanics that are aiming to “evolve the turn-based tactics genre,” including the game’s unique morale system, stealth and ambush gameplay, along with a flexible overwatch system that allows players to pick out attacking targets.
Along with the gameplay video, Team17 Digital has also unveiled the Classified: France ’44 key features. You can find them listed below:
Classified: France ’44 Key Features:
- Realistic Tactics: Enemy engagements replicate real-world military tactics. Use stealth to ambush your opponents, pin them in place with suppressing fire, then when their morale is broken, flank them to finish the job.
- Discover an untold story: Lead a campaign based on the heroic exploits of the Allied special forces ahead of the Normandy landings. Unite with the French Resistance, growing a unique and memorable team with their own skills, politics, and personalities.
- Define D-Day: In the game’s branching and highly replayable campaign, form an elite team, liaise with disparate political factions, face challenging dilemmas, liberate key regions of France, and ultimately, raise a Resistance force that will make or break the D-Day landings.
- Fight on: Classified: France ’44 is built on the Classified System, and will include a mission editor for the PC community to craft and share their own creations, using the very same tools that the game itself was built in. Upcoming DLCs develop this further, with new enemies, campaigns, and more!
Classified: France ’44 will release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in Autumn 2023.
