Article Summary

  • Post Scriptum relaunched as Squad 44, reflecting Offworld Industries' vision.
  • Squad 44 introduces a plethora of new content, enhancing gameplay.
  • Historical accuracy and large-scale battles hallmark the Squad 44 experience.
  • Fans can expect 80-100 player servers and over 20 large-scale maps.

Say goodbye to the game Post Scriptum as the folks at Offworld Industries have decided to rebrand the game as Squad 44. The company acquired the game, which is an offshoot of one of their other titles, Squad, so we knew at some point they'd probably change the name to something more in line with their own branding. Along with the new name, the company sent out an update today, giving it a ton of new content. We have more information from Offworld below about all of the changes and a trailer highlighting the game as a whole.

Squad 44

Squad 44 is a World War 2 tactical first-person shooter focusing on historical accuracy, large-scale battles, a steep learning curve, and an intense need for communication, cohesion, and teamwork to achieve victory. To deliver immersive, authentic battlefields, each map in the game has been accurately recreated to reflect real locations using archival references that range from street-level photographs to aerial images. Featuring five main factions, composed of several different German, American, British, Greek, and French Units, Squad 44 offers players the ability to join the fight with numerous historically accurate weapons, from pistols to AT guns, all featuring real-world ballistics, as well as the chance to operate over 50 different useable vehicles from the period from jeeps to king tigers. Squad is a large-scale combined-arms multiplayer first-person shooter emphasizing combat realism through communication and team play, emphasizing strong squad cohesion mechanics and larger-scale coordination, tactics, and planning. It features 23 massive open maps, vehicle-based combined arms gameplay, and player-constructed bases to create a heart-thumping, visceral gaming experience with split-second decision-making in real-world scale firefights.
