Ontwikkelaar Lion Game Lion (bekend van de PayDay franchise) en uitgever Starbreeze hebben vandaag bekend gemaakt dat hun coöperatieve FPS Raid: World War II in de aankomende maanden uitgebracht zal worden. Het doel in de game is om alle Nazi activiteiten te saboteren, Nazi's te vermoorden en alles te vernietigen wat een swastika vertoont. Samen met drie andere spelers kun jij een bijdrage leveren aan dit gevecht dat je door heel Europa brengt.

PC gamers hebben geluk, want zij kunnen al vanaf 26 september aan de slag met deze titel. PlayStation 4 en Xbox One eigenaren zullen moeten wachten tot 13 oktober, wanneer er zowel een fysieke als digitale editie voor deze consoles wordt uitgebracht. Enkele sleuteleigenschappen van de game worden als volgt beschreven.

• Class Based Gameplay – Players choose from four different classes – Recon, Assault, Insurgent, or Demolitions – each with their own highly developed skill tree that allows for various play styles;

• War Cries – Each character class can unleash their own powerful War Cry to buff their player or the entire team;

• Character Customization – RAID’s four heroes represent the main combatants from the European theatre of WWII: Great Britain, USA, Germany and the Soviet Union. Each character possesses a unique look and a customizable uniform;

• Lethal Weapon Modifications – the Second World War was infamous for arming the world with deadly and experimental weapons that went “bang” in lethal fashion. RAID: World War II gives players access to an array of precision killing machines complete with weapons upgrades such as custom barrels, stocks, fore grips, optic sights and much more to satisfy a variety tastes;

• Operations Mode – RAID: World War II offers players the opportunity to play through extended versions of their favorite missions by undertaking the “Operations” gameplay mode. Operations challenges players through a chained series of highly modified raids, featuring new storylines, and added content and objectives;

• Challenge Cards – By participating and completing successful raids, players will earn Challenge Cards that allow them to customize the rules of a raid in a give-and-take fashion. For example, enemy ammo drops will increase, providing players with more ammunition to hold enemies at bay; however, the damage inflicted by enemies will be greater;

• Real-World Locations – The game’s setting takes place in real-world locations across war-torn Europe. From mighty m dominating the heart of Berlin, to the idyllic bridge over the Elbe, players will travel through a war-torn Europe and bring destruction to Nazis in every corner of Hitler’s Reich.
