World War II-festen Battalion 1944 når sitt Kickstarter-mål

Tidigare i veckan kom den glada nyheten att Battalion 1944 är under utveckling. Spelet ska strunta i allt vad modern krigföring heter och istället gå tillbaka till Andra världskriget, vilket är något som fansen tycks uppskatta; målet på £100 000 har nämligen redan blivit nått!

På Bulkheadinteractives officiella Kickstarter-sida står det klart att den magiska gränsen nu är passerad och spelet kommer alltså att bli verklighet. Såhär beskriver studion sitt verk:

Battalion recaptures the intensity of classic multiplayer shooters, revitalising the WW2 genre on PC & Console using Unreal Engine 4.

Battalion 1944 släpps till PC, PS4 och Xbox One i maj nästa år.
