In very early stages of production, World War II: Underground has been confirmed for release on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC – giving players the chance to take in a game inspired by the real-world operation of the resistance movement during World War II.
Announced by Demolish Games, World War II: Underground is a first-person stealth action title that is focused on the single-player experience. Set in the realities of World War II, when a large part of Europe found itself under the occupation of the German Third Reich, it’ll have players playing the role of a partisan, a member of the underground resistance movement, who carries out missions aimed at the occupant.
Published and developed by Demolish Games, those behind it are promising that the varied gameplay will comprehensively capture the specifics of partisan operations conducted against the Nazis in 1939-1945. And further to that, players will also take care of detailed preparations and planning the missions, which can be completed using various methods.
Missions will include, for example, stealing secret documents, blowing up bridges, destroying critical infrastructure, sabotaging weapons factories and eliminating specific targets.
“The operations of the resistance movement will be inspired by real missions that were carried out in Poland, Greece, the former Yugoslavia, France, Norway and other countries. We also place great emphasis on taking into account the realities of the occupation and how the actions of the resistance movement translated into the lives of civilians. It must be remembered that Nazi Germany applied collective responsibility and, for example, in occupied Poland, dozens or even hundreds of innocent people were often murdered in retaliation for partisan attacks” – said Paweł Dywelski, CEO at Demolish Games S.A.
World War II: Underground features will include:
- stealth action game;
- the realities of the occupation and World War II;
- missions inspired by real events;
- various tasks and locations;
- many ways to complete missions.
We’re expecting Demolish Games to release World War II: Underground on PC via Steam first, with plans to then drop it onto Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC later.
