A couple of weeks ago, developer New World Interactive announced that their hardcore FPS, Day of Infamy was leaving the Steam Early Access program, and releasing in full. That day has officially come as the developers wrapped up one of the more successful Early Access runs in recent history. Over the last month, Day of Infamy accrued a positive user rating of 90%, and currently sits firmly at 87%.
Day of Infamy originally started as a mod for Insurgency back in late 2015, but gradually grew into something much bigger. Day of Infamy was revealed back at E3 2016 during the PC Gaming Show and released into the Steam Early Access program about a month later.
Here are the game's main features upon its full release courtesy of an official press release:
- 8 player Cooperative gameplay versus challenging AI opponents in three game modes and two difficulty levels.
- Up to 32 player Multiplayer gameplay in four wave-based game modes with the Battles playlist. Alternatively, 24 player game modes in three single-life and objective-reinforcement playlist Special Assignment.
- 10 maps – Ranging from war-torn cities to farm villages and fortified beachheads to snow-covered forests.
- Over 70 historical weapons and attachments, whether you’re fighting for the U.S. Army, Commonwealth Forces or the German Wehrmacht.
- 9 player classes, providing a variety of experiences depending on what the player prefers.
- Unit system – Unlock historic units as you rank up, which are then playable as in-game characters with new uniforms, headgear, badges, and voices. Ranking up does not provide players with any gameplay advantages, so gameplay balance will always remain purely skill-based.
- Mod support and Workshop integration providing players with a vast array of community-created content. Built on Valve's Source Engine, the SDK is one of the most familiar out there. Modders can replace models, textures, sounds and user interfaces in the game, as well as add new maps or total conversions using the game's theater scripting system. There are already over 480 mods which have been created during the game's early access phase.
Day of Infamy is available in full now exclusively on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux.
