Remember last week when Team17 revealed a mysterious new game without telling us anything about it? Well, now we know it’s an all-new turn-based tactics war game called Classified: France ’44.
Team17 Digital and Absolutely Games says the game is inspired by “the untold story” of the Jedburghs, “a group of heroic Allied special forces dropped behind enemy lines”, and the “disparate brave Resistance groups” working across France in the lead-up to the Normandy Landings on D-Day.
Here, check out this new teaser:
“Classified: France ’44 features a series of evolutionary gameplay mechanics for the turn-based tactical genre, including a much greater emphasis on the use of stealth to complete missions, an enhanced overwatch ability that provides further tactical options, and an engaging morale-based combat and suppression system that means every shot matters,” the team teases.
We’ve also been told to expect tactical realism in a game that tells an “untold story”, and defines D-Day success in the game’s “non-linear and highly replayable” campaign.
Classified: France ’44 will also include a mission editor “for the community to craft and share missions using the very same tools that the game itself was built in and upcoming DLCs”, although that will only be available for the game on PC.
