Based on the successful mod for Insurgency, Day of Infamy has transformed into a full-fledged standalone game built with Source Engine.

Experience intense close-quarters battles in iconic WWII settings. Defend the line, storm the beach, torch the enemy, or use a radio to call in fire support.

One of the game’s primary focuses is with team coordination. Officers can direct their team in the field with a wide variety of command options, and may call in fire support if a radio operator is nearby. Fire support options include artillery barrage and smoke screen. Local voice is used to talk to your teammates in the game, but be careful because the enemy can hear you if you’re too close. Radio operators also serve as a communication beacon to those around them, as HQ and radio operator chatter can be heard through them.

With continued Steam Workshop support, players can create mods that contain all new factions, weapons, and more. You can expect to see custom mods, weapons, player skins, maps, and various other contributions from New World’s talented community.

The Day of Infamy Steam Free Weekend starts at 10 a.m. PDT / 6 p.m. BST on Thursday October 12th and runs through until 10 a.m. PDT on Monday. 

Players can expect to experience hardcore World War II First-Person Shooter combat in both player versus player and cooperative game modes, with an emphasis on teamwork-oriented objectives and high lethality gunplay. Call in fire support, secure objectives, and push the line forward using more than 60 iconic WWII weapons, nine specialized player classes and 33 historic units of the US Army, British Commonwealth, and German Wehrmacht.

The Free Update includes:

• New Tutorial Mission “Shooting Range” – Ahead of a wave of new players, New World have created a special training map set in the rural English countryside, designed to help new players feel more comfortable with the game's weapons and classes before they head out to the battlefield.
• New Map “Brittany” – The French region of Brittany was the backdrop for a bloody siege weeks after the D-Day landings. Players will fight through the map's rail-yards, bombed-out buildings and fortified bunkers. Brittany originally started as a community map based on the French town of Brest in the Brittany region. After placing 3rd in the Day of Infamy mapping contest, our development team have worked hard with the level designers to flesh out the map, and are proud to now include it as official game content.
• Double Experience Points – To help new recruits quickly move up through the ranks we’re rewarding players with double experience points through the weekend to help them unlock any of the 30 different playable units.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity for a new wave of players to discover Day of Infamy. Our indie WWII shooter is leading a revival of the genre that is often overshadowed by the big AAA franchises. Hopefully players will recognize the passion and talent of our modest team to craft a heart-pounding experience that is truly authentic." —Andrew Spearin, Creative Director - New World Interactive

During the Free Weekend, the team at New World will be holding daily livestream events on Twitch, complete with prize giveaways, special guests and open Q&As.

Features include:

• 3 Multiplayer game modes 
  • Frontline - Both teams are given the objective of pushing through the map. A team wins when all objectives have been captured, or if the time runs out and a team has majority control of the battlefield. 
  • Liberation - To win, your team must capture all territorial objectives to liberate the area. Capturing points will gain your team more reinforcement waves. You will gain more waves by securing points behind enemy lines.
  • Offensive - The attacking team must capture one point at a time pushing back the entrenched enemy. When objectives are secured by the attacking team, additional waves and time is added to prolong the battle.
• 3 Cooperative game modes 
  • Stronghold - Move through enemy held territory and secure the area. Your team will be reinforced each time an objective is secured.
  • Patrol - Patrol the surrounding area. Be especially careful, as there are no reinforcement waves in this mode. Once your squad has reached its waypoint, you must either return to base or eliminate any discovered enemy forces in the area. 
  • Entrenchment - Defend the line at all costs. Make sure to fall back and regroup occasionally to keep your squad reinforced.
• 3 Factions 
  • The Allied infantry forces of the British Commonwealth and U.S. Army clash against the German Wehrmacht. Combined-faction gameplay allow the Brits and Americans to fight together on the battlefield. 
• 6 maps 
  • From the shores of Sicily and streets of Italy, to the forests of Belgium and Germany. And of course the Normandy beaches. 
• 20 weapons and wide range of attachments 
  • Full-range arsenal including bolt-action rifles, pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, and flamethrowers. Fix bayonets, extend magazines, or swap iron sights with period-specific customization options.
• Mod Support
