Vi har vid flertalet tillfällen rapporterat om det Kickstarter-finansierade Battalion 1944 som nu kommer att ges ut av Square Enix, ett krigsspel i förstapersonsperspektiv som äger rum under andra världskriget (duh!) som nu ska göra early access-debut den 1:a februari, menar utgivaren. Det var i slutet av 2016 som folket bakom Battalion 1944 skrapade ihop hela fyra miljoner kronor via Kickstarter för att kunna utveckla "sitt drömspel" som de då beskrev såhär; "The core of classic multiplayer shooters while using the most advanced industry technology."
Förutom early access-premiären den 1:a februari kommer det att hållas en stängd early beta-grej under dygnet 19-20 januari, också. Något som man nu kan anmäla sig till på utvecklarnas egen site. Länk
"Battalion 1944 is being developed by competitive FPS players who grew up playing classic shooters and have worked to become one of the most experienced UE4 developers in the industry. As larger AAA developers are moving further and further away from old school mechanics in favor of simplicity, we want to recapture what made classic FPS games feel so great. This means fluid, skilled gameplay within a fair and competitive battleground. Early Access allows people who feel the same way we do about FPS to join the active development of the game, as we release patches and updates based on community feedback. If you're okay to put up with missing features and unexpected bugs, but want to become a part of a growing community of refined FPS players, feel free to join our FPSrevolution."
