Steal Hitler’s gold!
We all seemingly missed theannouncement last year,butRaid: World War IIis a co-op focused shooter that looks an awful lot likePayday 2mixed withInglorious Basterds. The game tasks you with infiltrating various compounds across Europe and stealing priceless artifacts and treasures from under the Nazi’s noses. I’m sure there is a WWII themed movie about this, but I instantly think ofThree Kingswith George Clooney, Ice Cube and Mark Wahlberg.
Raidis being developed by Lion Game Lion, a Croation studio that has previously worked onPayday 2DLC, so the comparison is pretty spot on. While I can’t find any official gameplay trailers, publisher Starbreeze Studios has actually shown off the game a bit in some of itslivestreams. In the mean time, you can feast your eyes on this cinematic trailer, which looks neat enough.
The game will be launching next month, on September 26, for PC with a PS4 and Xbox One port following on October 13. Hopefully this doesn’t spark a trend of WWII shooters becoming the dominant style again, lest me have a repeat of the early ’00s.
