Team17 and the British studio Absolutely Games have announced the development of the turn-based isometric strategy Classified: France '44, which will see us live the months that preceded the invasion of France by the Allies in 1944, during the Second World War.

The game is in development for Xbox Series X|S and is expected by the end of the year: here are the official details, a movie trailer, and the first in-game screenshots.

Classified: France '44 is a new turn-based strategy game set during World War II, particularly in the desperate months leading up to the Allied invasion of France in June 1944.

Rise to command a team of allied special forces and members of the French resistance. Recruit elite agents and then embark on a radical campaign of sabotage and destruction. Negotiate with the other factions involved to build a resistance network and hit German targets in the heart of the occupied territories. However, the more chaos you sow, the more ruthless attention you will attract the Gestapo's attention.

With thrilling missions inspired by the exploits of the Allies and the French, the game is developed on a turn-based strategic basis, letting you experience the authentic fighting of World War II. The campaign is playable multiple times, always having a different experience. And for those who really want to challenge themselves, our elaborate Quest Creator allows players to create, share, and download custom missions.
