Developer Redstone Interactive and publisher Offworld Industries have announced a new multiplayer FPS set in the period of World War I. Called Beyond the Wire, the game can support battles up to 50v50 players at a time, immersing participants in cinematic environments that convey the desperate & brutal circumstances of the Great War. Players will have to contend with large open maps and tight claustrophobic trenches. Utilizing both period-appropriate guns and a more tactical close-quarters melee combat system, the action in Beyond the Wire is more comprehensive than anything seen in a WW1 game to date.
The game is coming into Steam Early Access later this year and is expected to launch sometime in 2021 or 2022.
“Our team has been hard at work making Beyond The Wire, and we’re busy creating an impressive multiplayer experience for First Person Shooter Fans. Our goal is to work closely with our community from Day 1, to ensure that our ideas and features deliver on the best World War 1 gaming experience possible. We feel Early Access is the most ideal way to develop a strong relationship with our playerbase right out of the gate, and also help to ensure we are delivering an amazing gaming experience for everyone!”
The current version of the game includes three factions, multiple game modes, three maps, and a wide variety of weapons.
Beyond the Wire is entering the closed alpha testing phase soon. You can sign up on the official site.
