Following the release of a mysterious teaser titled [REDACTED] last week, Team17 and Absolutely Games have now unveiled “Classified: France ’44,” a turn-based strategy game set in WW2-era France in the months leading up to D-Day in June 1944. The game is set for release at some point later during 2023.

Watch the Classified: France ’44 trailer below:

Absolutely Games’ debut title allows players to take different combat and strategic approaches over the course of 45+ campaign missions, with a special morale system that plays into each combat choice. Players build a team of Allied combatants and determine the game’s ending at D-Day through the choices they make throughout the campaign. From the developers:

Classified: France ‘44 is a new turn-based strategy game, set in World War II during the desperate months leading up to the Allied invasion of France in June 1944.

Take charge of a special-ops team of Allied commandos and French resistance fighters. Recruit elite operatives to build your squad, then engage in a sweeping campaign of sabotage and destruction. Deal with competing factions to build the resistance network and strike at German targets deep in occupied territory. However, the more chaos you cause, the more you’ll draw the merciless attention of the Gestapo secret police.

In exciting missions inspired by the exploits of the Allies and French, the game expands on turn-based tactical concepts, bringing authentic World War 2 combat to life. The campaign allows for multiple playthroughs that are different each time. For those who really want to test their skills, our rich Mission Creator tool allows players to create, share and download custom missions.

Classified: France ’44 will be supported post-launch with updates and expansions, and features a Mission Creator as well as mod support. The game will release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam sometime during 2023.
